Nice hit, Jorge. Next time, stay close to the base.
Shit, that’s a new game: inside two seam, ending way in off the plate.
Whispering Fister, a slippery dude. Mainly two seam slipperiness. Frustrating!
Alright, Ivan, be tough. Ground balls, that’s the ticket.
yeah! once. Pop’s are okay, fine, indeed. And we’ll take a liner, but next time, that guy wants to swing.
Watch out now boys: he’s gonna be happy with that two seamer. Let it get called, if you’re in doubt. He wants you to swing at what looks good, but breaks bad. Be cautious.
alex has loked terrible all year, and looks like he is not getting better..right down the middle..nova needs a shut out tonight
I doubt you can count on a shutout: Ivan’s good, but he’s giving them swings now and then.
Alright, he’s tuned in. Alex, you let a mistake down the middle go. Boys, you’re going to have to bunt it, if you can’t handle it.
i thought gardy was going to drag one that inning..nova is keeping his cool..cabrera never swings at balls down like that
He must not, given his average. Nice victory for Ivan.
Okay, lads. Did you see Ivan? Now find that mistake! Hang in there.
Swish, you look solid, but – whoa, wait on a solid one, don’t swing out of your shoes.
Jorge, he’s throwing a breaking ball on 2 -2.
He’s definitely keeping us off balance. Brett, Jete and Grandy, some small ball, please.
every body knew it but him..he was always a sucker for that on two strikes ..swisher needs to swing a little harder..he didn’t go to one knee..but he will
cano is going to have to win this game..
yep. Chavez may be a good help, if they will use him. He’s clever. Jete is, too.
i wanted chavez to start at third..he would come up big..what a waste him sitting out
The kind of hitter to try to deal with Fister.
agree..he keeps his hands back
Man, I don’t believe it: Ivan MISSED him.
Yahoo! I can’t believe he got him! That throw passt Avila’s nose was perfect. Get down!
Slid thru the trouble – what trouble?
nova stayed tough
Boy, I thought Brett had one. It is high. It is deep..It’s the first out.
Alright, Curtis. Solid. Now, it’s a chance for Robbie.
My hero. Man! The rim of the wall.
sheit! a half-inch further, and we would have another run!
How ’bout THAT mojo? Had second stolen, but the hitter made the throw to get him.
Good catch, Swish!
Alrighty, Tex, way to get it going!
Well, well, Jorge worked a walk. 2 on for Russell. He didn’t look good last time. OK, 2cd and 3rd, two outs for Gardner. Drum roll…
Whooooeee! 2 men in! Attaboy, Brett!
Oh, baby! Bases loaded for Robbie, and there goes Mr. Fister! Thanks, Mr. Leland!
Hohoho, hohohoho! Love dat granny!
oh, the half plate drill.
Sit down, Mr, Soriano. Oh, Luis!
I think that’s it for Ivan, nice outing, laddio!
nope, they said noone was warming. Let it ride, Ivan.
Just for the record, Cano with yet another run scoring double, to center, over Mr. Jackson’s head.
Like to see Alex kick out the jams, here. Nope, the ump got bored, and called him out, for a ball way outside. You’re so good, Alex, you only get two strikes.
Joe said he was delighted with Nova’s performance, but later said he didn’t have his best stuff. On response in his interview, Nova said at first , he had command only with his fastball, said he threw only a single changeup, but he thought he later got everything working.
I figure what Joe was missing was lefty batters for him to embarrass with his slider inside. So, only 4 k’s, and he yanked several, usually just dirtballs that Russell handled. Thought he had Victor in the butt (that one chance with the lefty) but it went BEHIND him. Little ticks, great effort!
