Guzman bats and then is pulled for Heilman? WTH is Lou smoking today?

 

we already have a thin bench

3 starters out, no need to burn Soto up 3 with nobody on

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Then use Dempster or something.

I think the more relevant answer is, Miles is already in the lineup.

[Careless]

Was soriano just pretending to swing in the outfield?

At least let Z get a whack at it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Iannetta walked

[Tryptamine]

Throw strikes please.

I think he's mimicking Dempster's glove wag.

Then use Dempster or something.

 

The obvious choice would have been Z, but Lou probably doesn't want Z or Demp running the bases when the weather is crappy. Good choice by Lou.

 

I personally would have pinch hit Gregg in the hope of a HBP!

Marilyn Chambers, :(

 

Behind the Green Door is one of the best adult films ever.

[Outshined_One]

Strikes, Aaron.

[Brian]

haha, Heilman going to get an earful

[Guest]

Lou is going to give Heilman the business here.

[CubmanPi]

Any lip readers? All I caught were a possible F bomb or two and let's go.

[Outshined_One]

"It's cold and I want to go home, Aaron. Throw some strikes."

[Brian]

I expected Lou to be a little more animated there.

[Tryptamine]

Really surprised he didn't take two.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Stewart, pinch hitting for Belisle, popped out (foul) to third base

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Fowler looks about twice as lanky hitting from the left side.

[CubmanPi]

Lou lets Heilman live today.

[Tryptamine]

Nice recovery Heilman. Will Lou throw Gregg again? He seems like he's pitched an awful lot already.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pretty nice job by Aaron.

 

He's been alright so far this season. Hopefully it continues.
