Filthy curve on strike 2 to Adujar.

Video game late movement.

Brett Gardner couldn’t even comprehend how that pitch broke so much that it ended up squarely over the plate.

Blummer essentially said Gardner is a douche for arguing that one.

I say he's was a douche way before that.

I was thinking he is one of the most aggravating individual opponents we have had for a some time.

Was Carlos moving on contact or was that simply a bad base running decision? I couldn’t tell.

I figure by now that kid could pour her own orange juice. It's like Minute Maid is stunting her mental development. It has been a couple years on and she hasn't progressed at all. Still drawing the same dumb pictures.

This happens sometimes when you run on contact.

Wouldn't it be unusual to be running on contact with runners on 2nd and 3rd, no outs, and the infield in?

No. Infield in is one spot to run on contact. Springer scored on it in the 1st.

Depends on how important the mgr. thinks the run is and whether he will gamble on another hit or a sac fly.
