The scorer bailed Javy out on that last one. It was a good play by Spence just to keep Gimenez to one base.

It was Baez's fault, but Torkelson has been making that type of play.

Javy got the bounce too close to 1st that time. The shorter the hop the more difficult the scoop get's to execute. The one right at your feet is murder.

Impossible to defend Baez’ throws.  Tork has been bailing him out for over a season now.

Yes, I know.  I played mostly first base as a kid!

[Tenacious D]

Singuel!

[RandyMarsh]

Singuel strikes with the leadoff single! 

[Tigerbomb13]

Gah. Just bad luck there 

[clark1mt]

It's a shame, because that would have been a comical stolen base.

[Tigerbomb13]

Really great to see Greene and Tork hitting. Have they finally been unCoolbaughed?

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Nice insurance run from Haase and Greene.

[Motor City Sonics]

Is that Dan Petry that keeps coughing.  It's very distracting.  Get the man some water

[RandyMarsh]

We scored 6+ runs only 4 times in our first 23 games, after today's performance that now makes 6 times in the last 10  so the bats are heating up! 

[Tenacious D]

Is there anything worse than Kyle Schwarber in the Cure Insurance commercials?  Horribly written + stiff athlete spokesperson.  A commercial director’s nightmare, through they are complicit, too.

[gehringer_2]

Tork just not getting much help from the rest of the D. That's an out if Shreve gets over there.

[gehringer_2]

Run on 2nd means nothing now anyway.

[gehringer_2]

 curious - use Lange  in a non-save sit?

Hinch, diabolical genius.

[Adullin]

Throw strikes good things happen

Back in 2nd place! Alway nice to beat the Ind..I mean Guardians, especially at their place.

This team has been fun to watch. Didn’t think I’d be saying that a week ago.

I think the Cure commercial with Cade Cunningham is even worse. Hopefully he sticks with basketball. 

[Tenacious D]

The recent performance has been surprising, but it shouldn’t be.  The offense is starting to hit like it should.

Imagine if we can get contributions from Turnbull, Skubal, Meadows and Carpenter?

Does anyone wonder if wearing a hockey helmet might be insensitive toward the mentally handicapped?  

[Hart]

Cabrera should be getting one start per series…if we are going to play along with this farewell tour.  Now that we are winning, it’s even more important to minimize the number of his at bats.
