Were you drunk in the dugout again ?

I've never heard of Famous Dave.

For every positive action - Cozart/Trout - there is negative reaction...Kinsler, Blash back to back... 

[rafibomb]

these delayed strike calls are getting annoying

I agree

[GrittyVeterans]

Blash got a hit!

[BackUpTheTruck]

Nice

[Lou]

Calhoun wept. 

[Chuck]

[rafibomb]

BBQ joint. They’ve got a stand here in the park.

[T.G.]

They're saying 116 mph off Blash's bat...

Harder than probably 99% of the league.  116 mph is like the 99th percentile.  This is without looking up numbers to back it up, but I'm pretty sure this is close. 

[Taylor]

NL rules suck.

[Chuck]

Sosh may take Barria out of the game since he didn't get that bunt down correctly. 

[GrittyVeterans]

Top of the order leads off next inning at least

[Homebrewer]

Scioscia has decided NOBODY is going to bunt anymore.

He must have been reading AW this past off season.

[T.G.]

but... but... bunting is easy.

Watching these pitchers bat makes me appreciate Ohtani a lot more.
