[hawing]

We're going to see Jimmy AND Bartolo?! Tonight's gonna be a good, good night.

[CheezWizHed]

I'm really enjoying watching Jimmy this year. Often, he is close to dominant but has one inning that gives him fits. But still pretty minimal damage (especially lately).

[reillymcshane]

well that's a nice way to start.

[markedman5]

Braun really hitting a lot,of weak ground balls the last week or so.

[Baldkin]

That run is completely on Braun. He could've easily caught that double but didn't even run for it

Yeah, he's quietly, but definitely slumping .

[adambr2]

Old man Colon just shutting us down.

[AKCheesehead]

Kind of funny that Loney got an error on that play. He made the perfect throw but Colon was too slow to get where he needed to be.

[adambr2]

Just destroying every opportunity we get tonight.

[pacopete4]

Lots of double plays tonight

[markedman5]

Another tough start for Jimmy. Just didn't have it.

[pacopete4]

Lots of double plays tonight

[The stache]

Braun needs to sit. He's absolutely useless at the plate right now.

 

The guy just cannot stay healthy.

[adambr2]

Ugh. Thought that was gone.

[adambr2]

Still in this thing.

[reillymcshane]

Nice hustle by He Who Can Not Be Spelled Correctly

[CheezWizHed]

You can't spell Kirk?

[jerichoholicninja]

Corey clearly doesn't have it but we're going to let him out there after loading the bases on three straight batters? Sure, why not?

[AKCheesehead]

I don't know why Knebel wasn't pulled after Loney reached. Smith was warm, Cabrera up. I don't want to get on CC's case here but that was a total no-brainer from where I'm sitting.

[adambr2]

Yeah, Counsell didn't manage the pen well tonight.

 

I really don't even know why Knebel is a guy who should be guaranteed a roster spot coming back from injury.

[Baldkin]

Kind of funny that Loney got an error on that play. He made the perfect throw but Colon was too slow to get where he needed to be.

 

Colon beat the batter to first. The throw was hard, high, and off target.

 

Also, loved that they had a mound meeting after to let him catch his breath

I saw things differently. Here's a fun pic after the ball ticked off Colon's glove, courtesy of espn http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/photos?gameId=360609108&photoId=5528154

The only shot they had to get Braun was for Loney to lead Colon to the bag with the throw but he couldn't get there.
