Apparently even a 7-run game is too close to risk bringing in Justin Wilson.

Mekkes walked 3 guys and gave up a run today.

The left fielder had the ball before Happ hit third. Dumb send. Doesn't matter, Lackey just brutal today.

Lackey covering home like he forgot who was at third.

9 games over .500. Tied for best record on the season.

horsefeathers yeah

This game got super weird in the 10th

What can Avila tell Wilson in a mound visit? Throw more accurately than I do when I throw it back?

That pitch selection was horrific. Throw the GD split.

I miss Willson's 200 mph throws.

horsefeathers bunts

That's not a HBP

Joe West was busy signing autographs for a kid who didn't want one.i

How's Pillar not dead?

Woof, Zobrist should not be batting third. Or fourth when Bryant is playing. Or fifth when Contreras is back. Or eighth when Lackey is playing.

Pretty exciting to see both de la Cruz and Mills pitching. I assumed Mills was done for the season. If I had to guess, I think at last one of them will be at the AFL, if not both.

[tweet] [/tweet] No fall instructs for Lange, which is probably why he even pitched this summer, unlikely Hatch last year.
