So, Sipp ended up on the DL???  Anyone know the physical injury?

Hechevarria singles to RF, Longoria scores...Miller trying to go to 3B...thrown out 9-5 to end the inning...Rays challenging...looks safe, but it was really close...call upheld...inning over

Morrison...0-2...bloops a single to LF as Fisher runs in and lets it drop at his feet...Dickerson scores, Longoria to 2B

Hope that run doesn't come back to haunt us. It looked like Fisher played it safe and pulled up to field it on a hop instead of charging and diving.

I wonder if they're being coached that way after all the crazy injuries...

I doubt it. Trying to consciously avoid an injury in the midst of an athletic feat is a good way to get injured.

I doubt it. Hinch has said he doesn't try to interfere too much with the players' instincts on those types of matters, even sliding head first into home.

Fisher w the patient at bat taking a walk and Altuve sees 2 pitches nowhere near the zone to chop one to 2nd.  Terrible at bats by him and Jake, stranding Gattis.

These umpires are consistently bad on fairly routine plays.

Altuve is his own worst enemy with the game on the line.

I don't know...after being hard hit, it's really important to make sure the correct number are still present.  Too many or too few are both very bad.

A 5 oz missile in the nuts will definitely make you rethink your priorities...  Did Sucre hurl?  The MLB.tv feed went to a commercial break prett quick so I guessed they didn't want to show the technicolor yawn.

He didn't hurl, but I'm sure he was wishing someone would shoot him and put him out of his misery.  I've had my cup shattered a couple of times, and coughed blood once.  The boys are fine now though.  As far as I can tell.
