Nice 6 pitch inning there!!!!

Watson was such a great last minute signing by Perry. Maybe our best reliever. 

 

You mean it wasn’t Cishek?

[totdprods]

Gosselin quietly becoming a decent little bench player. Hitting a hollow .300 and versatile. 

[Jason]

Oh crap, I thought he hit that one out 

[rafibomb]

Jesus, Gosselin with some bad fucking luck today

Don’t tell others that. 

[Jason]

Got to score here 

[Chuck]

Minute Maid sucks. Another HR in most other ballparks.

I'll take it though! 

[Justin]

Please get the announcers back in the ballparks. This is ridiculously bad. 

[bloodbrother]

Gosselin hitting the ball to the wrong part of the park twice tonight. Nearly 2 HR's

[Jason]

Is Butera that bad of a hitter that he has to bunt all the time?

[Taylor]

Has anyone called him Buntera yet?

It’s working.  Also yes.

Do you have higher hopes for him or Sandoval? 

Sandoval has better pure stuff and can generate outs on his own better than Suarez so, I'd likely go with him.  But Suarez's changeup has a lot of potential and he's been good everywhere in the minors.   He just had no business facing MLB batters the last two years.  He wasn't close to ready.

[Jason]

Lol at Fletcher. Worthless tool 

[Chuck]

Fletcher is weak.

[UndertheHalo]

Baffling.  Why not force him to make a play.  

[OregonLAA]

The one time he doesn’t hit a slappy pop up to right field

[Taylor]

Weak sauce.

[bloodbrother]

When Rendon returns, might be time to move Fletcher to the 9 spot and have the top of the order be Ohtani/Trout/Rendon/Walsh/Upton. Just can't keep having a .600 OPS guy at the top of the lineup

[PattyD22]

I remember when Joe Smith was our Steve Cishek, back in the day.

[thebloob]

I didn’t realize how Solid Watson is.  He has a career era of 2.77. 

[Taylor]

I was getting Joe Smith and Joe Saunders confused.

They need someone that willing to take walk and Ohtani isn’t that guy. Although Fletcher needs to move out of that spot
