I want Folty to pitch 8 shutout innings and we lose in the 9th.

^ This guy gets it.

I am also having great fun this year keeping up with the Reds, Rays, Twins, and Brewers for obvious reasons.

Twins and Brewers both losing by 3 runs early tonight against Boston and Pittsburgh.

Haven't we already seen that movie?

Team player here!

AJ looks like a high school catcher trying to frame pitches. He jerks his glove extremely noticeably and it never helps get a call.

AJ behind the plate against the Rockies--what could go wrong?

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

AJ preserving the L there, thought we might actually score.

Everyone's earning their loser keep tonight: Beckham "botched" his base-running expertly to keep the team scoreless.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

We are so incredibly bad.

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

On a unrelated note, has Colorado ever completely sold out for groundball/sinkerball pitching? If so, did it work out in their park?

How long before folty becomes frustrated by this though.

Not long. He looks pissed off right now.

 

[USMA76]

Looked to me like Story's foot hit the bag before he was tagged but was tagged while his foot was off the bag.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

God I love Ender so f***ing much.

 

[zbhargrove]

Inciarte! Fantastic play! Now, hopefully Folty can calm down this half inning.

 

[jpx7]

God I love Ender so f***ing much.

I'm still not sold on him at the plate, but the glove is legitimate.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

I'm still not sold on him at the plate, but the glove is legitimate.

I'm hoping that his injuries have hindered him at the plate this year. He seems to have a pretty good approach. I'd like to see his average up over .250 by the end of the year though.
