Series Thread: 2 there, 2 here with the Rangers and Rockies 8/8-8/11

Fuck that bunting shit!!!

You are smoking at RISP and put down two foul bunts. Well it turned out just fine.

Why let Robbie hit here?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I would hate to catch in this heat. Come on Chirinos.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Why let Robbie hit here?

I was thinking PH for him just so he gets a break.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

We need to get these two in. Get some breathing room with that Rockies order.

How much has Bush thrown lately?

He pitched an inning last night, good one too. But seems like he'd been off for 3 days or so before that.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Garbage

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Great eye. What are you swinging at.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Walking Choo who is 0 for 4. LOL. Desmond's bat is coming back.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I am good with this because Choo has not looked good at the plate.

 

[saddles]

Why let Robbie hit here?

It baffled me.

 

[RevSader]

Swear, was thinking the same. And I was perfectly comfortable with this just a few months ago for some reason.

Seriously...he's no damn good. We had nothing better.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Make. Them. PAY.

 

[romeo212000]

You're a dumb ass, Jeff

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That makes no sense to PR for Maz unless he was planning on making a defensive move anyway.

That makes no sense to PR for Maz unless he was planning on making a defensive move anyway.

I am sure he was. They want stubbs for a sac fly.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Come on Desmond. Get out of swing mode.

 

[WilltheThrill]

I really like the Rockies bullpen.

 

[RevSader]

That was closer than I wanted.
