Pretty sure everyone in the press box is crying thinking about the possibility of extra innings.

It's clearly because we exchanged that eye thing pregame. You're welcome, guys.

[weis21]

Yes! JD called it!

 

Anybody else catch the double-index-finger-point thing he did at the camera in the dugout after the HR? Haven't seen that since circa Jacque Jones. In fact, it's my favorite memory of Jacque Jones.

That's a pretty line from not-Edwin Jackson as far as non quality starts go.

Just noticed Arkansas Jaxon had 11 Ks, wtf.

Castro can stop hitting like [expletive] any time now

Sharma loves to talk about that press box.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Interesting to see who bats next. Bonifacio's the logical choice.

Jaxon really is going to pitch tonight if this game goes 16 innings. Gotta get his between-starts work in.

Walt Weiss was somehow a ROY winner with a line of .250/.312/.321, 3 HR, 39 RBI, 17 doubles, 4 SB in 147 games.

was he like the white Ozzie Smith or something?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Extra innings. 2 bats on the bench. One belongs to a catcher. Wood's

Off the table. What happens next?

The competition wasn't much better. That was a pretty weak rookie class.

2.4 D WAR not quite Ozzie, but his bat sure didn't win it for him.

Holy dogcrap you weren't kidding. That AL class is PALTRY. Jesus. The NL had some studs that year though.

Yeesh. I guess retroactively it shoulda gone to Jody Reed then? Look at Don August's K-rate...

[OleMissCub]

Sabo was a man that year. 5.1 WAR from a rookie.
