Did the Reds’ batters have a pitchcom receiver in their helmets?

Bah. Ah well, can’t win ‘em all. Start another win streak tomorrow.

Well, drat. McKinstry is human after all.

And who would be called up? Probably Jung over Hicklen? Baez gets more OF time?

Weird bounce on the throw as Petry mentioned. Might not have made a difference, but sure looked odd.

That was a lousy sequence.

Ok, boys, bottom of the 9th, McKinstry due up 4th. Just get things to him, and it’s a sweep.

What’s wrong with you people? You should know by now to not doubt me.

Alright, tie game. One more shot of glory for Zacharias Alejandro McKinstry in an inning or two.

Ha! I just checked out his BABIP as well and then noticed the BB%.

Superman wears Zach McKinstry pajamas to bed.

Someone is living a charmed life so far this season, ain’t he?

Looks like Dingler today.

It seems for me that part of the radio pregame is always cut off.

By no means am I suggest he’s a bust or anything like that. And certainly it’s a tough gig for a guy under 23 years old, especially when he was learning a new defensive position. In spite of his hitting struggles, he’s had a fantastic eye at the plate so far this season. So, there’s hope for sure.

San Diego is in Houston for the ESPN Sunday night game tonight. Here’s hoping the Easter Bunny delivered extra innings for that game.

The other thing working against the Pistons is that Towns can step out on the perimeter and shoot. If Duren/Stewart are on him without switching, that's easy pickings for the Knicks when they blow by the perimeter defense. I think that's why we saw Harris guarding him a bit more than maybe was expected.

I was thinking about catching for the Padres series while watching this game. Day game (Royals finale), then night, night, day vs the Padres. So how will that play out? Nido gets at least one of those vs San Diego. Dinger would get normal rest going into today's game (vs Kansas City) followed by a little extended rest going into Monday night's game. Could rest him Tuesday to play Wednesday with Thursday as an off day. Without looking at pitching matchups, that's probably how I would handle it.

Yes, this is the answer. If the game gets out of hand to either side, it might be an earlier exit for Greene or maybe even Torkelson, Carpenter, or Torres. Everybody else is a platoonable player.

Seems the kitty cat is missing a paw.

Thought I heard on a pod that Chafin is only up to around 90 MPH on his fastball. Plus he's not on the 40 already. At this point, what utility is there to having Manning on the 40 if he's not going to be called up? I suppose the true answer might also be that Horn has more pitches available should the Tigers need to just get through a game.

It was there for the taking. Just a frustrating and painful 4th. As dismal as it was they were down only 6 with 90some seconds left. Still trying to figure out how that miracle happened.

Stop stealing Confucius’ work without properly crediting him.

Why is there an assumption that Keith is one of the best hitters on the team? I feel he gets too much credit for something he hasn’t shown at the major league level outside of a month or two last season. It’s not to say he won’t be good. But he needs to prove he’s good before he’s anointed as good.

What will slow down the process is when MLB realizes that they should be seeking advertising ties into the reviews.
