A Saturday afternoon game? Sweet! Montero, the starter. Don’t let him go past 70 pitches! When the club unloads him for three washed up relievers at the deadline and a handful of magic beans we want him at full strength! 

oh, I know we’re optimistic again- sorry. Ingrained habits die hard.

If Montero matches Valdez’ pitching from last night, he’ll struggle to get through the 4th.

That’s as solid a batting order as I’ve seen in a long time. Consequently, they’ll get shut out on two hits. 😉

Am watching on MLB Network.

Is there not a rule that Arozarena can’t stand there when he’s on deck?

[chasfh]

Surprised they didn’t overturn that because it looked like Rodriguez hit the bag before the ball settled in the back on Tork’s glove, but my question is, did Tork stretch the right way for the throw? He was not at full extension and also he was stretching on an angle, and not directly toward the throw. Looked like a footwork fail to me.

[IdahoBert]

Montero tallied only 11 pitches in that first inning. Good. Strikeouts are fascist.

[chasfh]

Also, how is Seattle out of challenges already? Is it one and done in the first inning or something? Or did Benetti fumble that one?

[IdahoBert]

I thought you had two challenges on play in the field.

Two in the post season. One during regular season.

Well, I’m all for lying, cheating and stealing and tricking the umps today if that’s the case. 

[chasfh]

I think Riley could have stayed on his feet for that one.

[chasfh]

Either Parker or Javy catch that ball to CF.

Or an average real centerfielder. Too bad we weren't able to acquire one.

Carp, Greene, and Tork all K’d swinging in the bottom of the second. At least they didn’t K watching it go right down the middle of the plate so I consider this better than that alternative.

People get mad when I bring up trading him—-but he is very unathletic (at least when it comes to running) and I fully expect him to age very poorly.  We should both not extend him and also trade him at the height of his value unless the long term plan is going to be DHing him.  He is one lower body injury away from catastrophe IMO.

Carp at least nearly homered.

That should be interference honestly

Colt Threeth

Good job Perez

[RedRamage]

Out of challenges in the 3rd... not good. 
Lead off triple that seems likely to not score.

We're so back baby!
