These announcers are great. How are they only doing AAA baseball?
Why is Corona still batting 2nd?
Wow. A RF actually CATCHING a ball. Weird.
Lots of room in here……ECHO….echo…..echo….HELLO???…..hello…hello.
Do you think the Gazoo helmets make it to MLB anytime soon?
Just scooped up a milb tv account. Yay workplace inactivity!
Did Montero’s stance change since spring training? It seemed more upright in spring
Romulo if you ever figure out where to throw the ball he could be very very good.
pronoun fail.
He has looked pretty string so far. I was impressed with his change in his short stint in the bigs and he seems to mix it in pretty nicely with his FB.
I am curious to see how he fares against Alvarez the rest of this outing.
string = strong
Russo just doubled to lead off the 3rd.
Teh Jesus grounded into a DP in his first AB to score a run.
Huffman followed with a double and was then plated by a Gorecki single.
Hopefully Nunez’s inevitable out will at least move Russo to third.
/ducks
You should have tried to put the reverse jinx on Winn last night.
Hahah, nice.
You don’t reason on Jesus.
SIT DOWN JOSE
JESUS!! Jose Tabata was meat.
Of course the one time they’re on TV I’m at internship. Fuck you, Master’s Degree.
Get your priorities straight, Matt.
Jesus guns down Tabata trying to steal second. The release did seems to have some sort of a hitch but he hosed him regardless.
How many times have you seen it? A player makes a great play in the field and then…..
The odds must be like, one in a million!
So you’re saying there’s chance!
walks.
Then works a walk? I’ll take it.
His change is filthy.
I can’t believe Reegie Corona is on the 40-man roster.
Eh, who is he blocking? Nobody really.
Just his presence on the 40-man insults me as a fan.
Hahaha, point taken.
Agreed. The fact he bats second drives me crazy. He’s a number 9 hitter all the way. No way he should be getting the second most at bats in AAA.
That’s probably the biggest waste of a spot on the 40 man. He is terrible.
Nunez gets lucky A LOT.
Take that Kratz!!!
(I tuned in to see him strike out and he had a funny name so I just wanted to say that.)
Wow, Montero CRUSHED that. A couple feet shy of an HR to dead center.
(It was a double of the top of the fence).
WOW
WTF didn’t that hit the bushes?
That was a bomb.
Nice play Jose.
Is Crotta really bad?
He wasn’t very good today.
I’d want to pitch around Russo too.
Warning track power, right Mike?
And the wind is blowing out according to Gameday.
Nice try, Eduardo.
Someone get Romulo some of CC’s pants. He doesn’t look comfortable.
And the commentators notes are wrong.
Announcers just said Montero was having a good game and has a nice swing. But I thought he HAD to be demoted and his swing was long and awkward!
What’d he do this game?
Caught tabata trying to steal 2b. Walked and hit a double off the CF wall.
So 1 for 3?
/Jayson Stark’s anonymous scout’d
Montero’s slow, isn’t he?
Slow, but not as slow as he’s made out to be. He’s not quite Molina-esque.
I was commenting on the last play. He was really hustling and the play wasn’t that close.
He smoked it to 3b, the ball got there in a hurry.
Perhaps it just seemed like he had more time because of the bobble.
Jesus didn’t lollygag that one.
Jesus didn’t
lollyHanley-gag that one.FTFY
It was as fast as he could run. Of course, you wouldn’t know because you have never played in the played in the majors.
But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I also haven’t played in the majors either (yet; /raises eybrow). So now knowing about your stay last night, I must assume you know more than I do.
6 Walks for Romulo…damn
