So there you go. Dental work for Aybar, which is why he was out of the lineup

Hopefully he got gold crowns put on.

[Troll Daddy]

Richards is sick

[Stradling]

As I said to him, we're judging him based on his last 2.5 years of performance

Judge him when healthy, you'll be a lot happier with what you see.

[Stradling]

Richards stuff is amazing this year. Too bad he has to throw 6 pitches to every batter.

[Erstad Grit]

96 on the black sukka!

[seenoevil]

Garret Richards is now officially the ace of the staff.

He just finished 5 innings with 85 pitches, that's not horrible.

* Except for the entire period in 2012 from May 15th til the end of the season where he put up a .964 OPS.  

[Homebrewer]

Good thing all this crap happened when we have our 2 best pitchers going.

Richards/Skaggs 1-2.

[Tyler]

Is that someones phone ringing on the freaking telecast?

[Tyler]

Or am I tripping... lol

Or could it be he's 34 and getting worse at playing baseball? nooooooo

 

Also he was healthy in late 2011, all of 2012, and early 2013.

LOL no we were just looking around our house for a phone.  freaking gubi

Yes and he was great for most of 2012, and really good early 2013. Of course he's getting worse, but it's not like we should be writing his obituary like some have implied.

[Homebrewer]

2 runs, offense is out of gas.

Can't wait to see the pen hold this lead.

[seenoevil]

Just have to wait until Pujols comes up again, and see if he can hit another home run, to score any runs... Can't depend on our atrocious bottom of the line up order

[Waybackman]

2-run lead with our BP. Not a winning combo.

[jshep]

Didn't realize that backup 1st baseman Ian Stewart has 0 career games there before tonight.

[seenoevil]

Black hole in our line up. 5-9

[Quinlanforthewin]

2-run lead with our BP. Not a winning combo.

 

That's why Richards is gonna pitch a CG shutout

[Homebrewer]

Alright Howie!

Slick baby, you're the man.

[bloodbrother]

D making Richards throw extra pitches.

[bloodbrother]

That's why Richards is gonna pitch a CG shutout

 

he's done after this inning. We'll get Kohn or Jepsen in the 7th. The joy

[Marsaka]

Alright Howie!

Slick baby, you're the man.

 

im still waiting on the howie apologists to tell me what he's good at.

[bloodbrother]

94 pitches through 6. Please let him start the 7th, Sosh
