Send Peaches down from the booth.

So, Jack just struck out the side in the first inning on 11 pitches…

[IdahoBert]

So Jack has struck out four guys in a row. I was hoping that he would hit Story in the back like Framber did, but I’m not allowed to have what I want this world.

I’m fine with the K

[IdahoBert]

Now it’s five strikeouts in a row. Is there any indication that the body snatchers have got a hold of him? Is there a weird button in the back of his neck or something?

[IdahoBert]

Sonny Gray is so afraid of Zach McKinstry. He pitched him like he was Ted Williams or something. Nothing even close to the strike zone. They used to do this stuff to Brandon Inge too.

Ugh

Jack got his body back.

Disastrous defense. 

[SoCalTiger]

our defense is so bloody bad. Keith and Tork ( pop ups ) are just bad. 

[gehringer_2]

so tonight's contribution about broadcast timing. For the 1st time in a long time I'm listening to the game on the WTKA OTA broadcast. I have gameday open, and gameday is just about 7 second *ahead* of the OTA radio at the end of the last inning, but almost 17 ahead on the 1st pitch of the next inning, but again by the end of the inning the difference was back down to ~8sec.  These are fairly rough approximations since gameday is not completely consistent, but on average it appears that they are overextended the inning break on the radio by 10sec. Doesn't seem to be consistent from inning to inning though.

I knew that high slide was gonna be a problem.

[gehringer_2]

another out on the bases.

[SoCalTiger]

did Verling slow down between first and second ?

[GalagaGuy]

Vierling rounded first like he could coast into second.  

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

once again, Jack can't pitch with runners on.

edit: and one of the Dans just said that he doesn't do well from the stretch.

[Tigermojo]

Worst defense in baseball. 

[monkeytargets39]

Tomorrow better not be an off day.  Guys need to be running laps and doing stairs all day.

[SoCalTiger]

Keith is simply unplayable in the field. Just wake up and stop playing him in the field. Anywhere. He stinks. Sorry DH. Period.
