I'm going to be upset if Prior comes out next inning.

[illiniguy]

I'm going to be upset if Prior comes out next inning.

 

Maybe if he could keep the ball in the park against a minor league league line up. Seriously Mark, is there ever a reason with that line up to pitch to Kent?

Have Neifi or Macias ever had AB's like Ronnie has the last couple games? Fouling off pictches and then coming through?

[Laura]

Murton seems fairly fast. Is that accurate or am I seeing things? :?

 

He always runs as hard as he can. He's fast enough!

 

How can you not like that? Sadly, it's kind of rare.
