[Hal Johnson]

LOL at Kiermeier hanging off the wall.

[BigCecil]

Jose Odor'ed that ball. Atta boy

[Swervin81]

Jose!!! Glad he appealed, then lol.

[o2cui2i]

nothing better than the pissed off version of Jose hitting.

[Belliss101]

Edwin is pissed. He hates walks

[West Texas Forever]

If only he could get pissed off everyday of the MLB season.

[THANOS]

Stay honest Smoak.

[bones10]

Jose may not be a fighter but he sure is a ballplayer!

[THANOS]

Smoak not looking good in this at-bat.

[THANOS]

A lot like old Smoak there. 3 swinging strikes.

[gruber92]

When i see Smoak's swing and pitch selection, it makes me wonder how the f*** he's put up the numbers he has so far. His BABIP has to be really high.

[Hal Johnson]

That wasn't a good AB. Especially after a 4 pitch walk.

[West Texas Forever]

Tulo is on fire....

[gruber92]

Horrible defense.

 

STFU Pat.

[THANOS]

Nice idea Tulo and BABIP Gods shined on you for it.

I didn't mind it. He was guessing FB first pitch ...and on the others he had good rips and just couldn't catch up.

 

JD missed a 95 MPH center cut FB in his AB before the pop up. I like that they are ripping at them.

[Jonn]

My goodness

Rippin' and missin' though

Yeah it's ridiculously high but his LD% and Hard% are both really high as well so he has earned it.

I mean, I'd rather see them swinging at strikes instead of watching meatballs, but the patient/selective approach seemed to actually be working a lot for Smoak this season, and that looked very different.

[intentional wok]

What a bomb by JB. Man I am going to miss him if he walks in November.

[THANOS]

Stro's release point looks off so far tonight.

[THANOS]

Tabler can shut up.

[THANOS]

Throw a curve or high 4SM and you got him.

[gruber92]

Throw a curve or high 4SM and you got him.

 

Yup, he threw him a curve there (not a very good one) and had him out front a little bit.

[THANOS]

BABIP ground ball, just as you requested Stro.

[West Texas Forever]

I do love it when the shift f***s teams over, it is a stupid thing in the game now.

[Belliss101]

Can we please stop pitching to contact Stro?

[gruber92]

Pat's right there. Why would you pitch away from the shift?

[Atothe]

Stroman is pitching like s***
