[zambonir]

It really is incredible that Ramos, who came out of spring training as the the 8th reliever only because of Arano's struggles and got sent down not long after that one blown save, is now our 8th inning guy - the Seranthony spot.

Whatever he does here, bats have been quiet for too long. Another game you definitely should win, given how it went early.

67 ft bunt popup (exit speed: 33 mph, launch angle: 37°)

Andrew Knapp bunt pops out softly to third baseman Josh Donaldson.

[LoneStarPhan]

No major leaguer should be that bad trying to bunt.

[bkeich]

I Knapp is bad at everything on a baseball field. No clue why he is still on this team.

A few years ago we were worried about Hernandez when he got on base because he had some gaffes.

Knapp is the worst baserunner I have ever seen, the best part about him popping out is he won’t mess up on the bases

[LoneStarPhan]

Harper hit a laser but right at the centerfielder who had to come in and dive forward to catch the ball. I would have loved to see that one get by the centerfielder.

But yes, again the bullpen has a lead going into the bottom of the ninth. Let's get the win this time.

[zambonir]

and bring up who? We've used every pitcher in the system except Medina.

[LoneStarPhan]

Best bet for bullpen help might come from getting another one or two off the injured list. Didn't I read that Hunter might be back soon?

[kikutaro]

[kikutaro]

Swanson

In play, out(s) (87. mph splitter)
ground ball

[zambonir]

Neshek first, Hunter to throw soon.

Man, what a moment...
