Did Mastro miss a hit and run call there? I feel like he did.

 

 

he had all of the right infield to hit to with the shift on

[saskjayfan]

chris archer is dreamy

Probably not a hit and run with two strikes.

Left calf strain for Reimold. Ugh.

[jaysfan2014]

Some slightly good news on Reimold.

 

Left calf strain, day-to-day. Could've been a lot worse..

[saskjayfan]

Johnson rules....

[Candy Maldonado]

another walk

Hopefully it's a minor pull and might be available if needed but if you're going to pull something better right before the break.

[jaysfan2014]

Another walk by Johnson.. he's walked more this game than the god-awful JPA did last year..

[NorthOf49]

Dan Johnson lol.

[John_Havok]

Love this ump. Except for that high strike on muni, he's been somewhat immune to molina's framing bs.

[guylaroche5]

johnson is feasting

[JaysFan4Ever]

I'm loving Dan already! He seems to be "at one" with the strike zone.

[labadee]

we all knew that k was coming

[Candy Maldonado]

AA make a trade

[jaysfan2014]

Can we trade for Headley? Francisco sucks.

[BigCecil]

Seems odd taking Mark B out after 93 pitches.....quick 5th inning.

 

Really hope nothing is wrong.

[intentional wok]

Johnson a better eye than Francisco it seems. Missed two fastballs in the centre.

[G-Snarls]

I presume his contract allows us to demote him to AAA if we chose?

Bunch of righties in a row. Gibby probably makes a gut call and uses the quick fifth as a high note for MB.

move is fine. buehrle has been getting lit up all game and is fortunate to have only given up 2 runs.

Yeah I'm down with this move to the pen. Good call Gibby.

Ya I guess, but I don't agree with it as the "low note" just came in in the name of Jenkins. RHH don't own Mark B

 

Thank god for Melky making that catch.

[JaysFan4Ever]

Is Francisco uncoachable? I'm sure he's been told to lay off those pitches he keeps whiffing on but it doesn't seem like he's able to absorb it. I'm sure he's been told that throughout his career which is why he hasn't stuck around too long.

[intentional wok]

Holy s***, Chad. Jesus, dude.

 

Get him out of there.

[Candy Maldonado]

Molina is an allstar against us.

I think it may be tougher than it appears

[NorthOf49]

Nope! The Big Juan is out of options. That's how we ended up with him... and why the Reds and Braves also had to part with him.

It's MB he's been battling all game and every game. I don't see why they yanked him with the bottom of the order up especially for Jenkins of all RPs. I guess the pen is rested the break is up coming and MB will be in the ASG so maybe that played a bit in Gibbon's mind? 93 pitches, might throw 10-20 in the ASG? Maybe MB was just tiring or Gibby is playing percentages again? Maybe trying to get Jenkins a clean inning which he seems incapable of?

[G-Snarls]

Nope! He's out of options. That's how we ended up with him... and why the Reds and Braves also had to part with him.

 

s***. I thought he had been outright released and signed a minor league contract with us. Crap
