did we ever hear anything about Lowrie? Day-to-day?

subnuclear · « **Reply #2 on:** August 24, 2015, 04:10:23 pm »

McTaggart said that Lowrie told him he was feeling much better and was putting on batting gloves.

He's throwing a meatball cutter at least once an at bat. Gattis is the only one who has even swung at it so far.

subnuclear · « **Reply #13 on:** August 24, 2015, 06:35:44 pm »

The pitch was belt high, right down the center of the plate. Instead of giving it a full swing, he tried to inside out it, as if he was trying to hit a ground ball to 2B.

Big play at the plate there to escape an inning that started out 1st-and-3rd with no outs. Nice job by Conger to snag that throw and get back across his body to make the tag.

Correa's aura deflects the throw from Headley, resulting in an overthrow of 1st. Correa heads to 2nd with 1 out.

They've also been up against some pretty good pitching. 3-2 is probably better than I expected.
