Even though he caught it, that play has me worried that Jackson isn't out in CF.

I was thinking the same thing, not that Kelly is not capable, but he's no Ajax.

But then, nobody is.

Bucknor with the emphatic punch out. 8 Ks now.

Yeah going to half to agree with walker on that one, but we'll take it.

Our "defense" definitely adds a strange twist to this whole situation.

We've had enough go the other way that we're owed a few.

Yeah, when he first hit it I thought Jackson has it, no worries.

My heart stopped for a second when I saw it was Kelly.

JV walks McCutchen, the last quality hitter he will face tonight.

A few + a couple hundred.

That's gotta be Pricne, wtf.

 

[manchild98]

Should have been a DP. Prince couldn't find the bag.

 

[manchild98]
