Gibbons looks like he's about to cry.

Me too, Gibby, me too.

wait, wasn't Jose's gigantic lead a giveaway they were going to hit and run?

maybe call it off?

They did. His name is Francisco Liriano.

Before that trade, they had Hutch in the minors.


Well no i mean, yes they got Lirano, but if they knew they were going to put Sanchez in the Bullpen (or limit his starts, like they are doing now) - and Estrada hurt his back and they were managing him like this:

They gave him extra rest and a DL stint to start the season. He also received extra rest around the AS break too.

but if he's still feeling it (i'd imagine), I'm just curious why they weren't eyeing another starter. no Shame Shame Shame, but i guess they felt they could work with what they had and Estrada felt manageable i suppose.

What in God's name was Bautista just doing...

It was a hit and run called by the manager. He wasn't running on his own.

The announcers spent the entire Martin at bat (once it was 3-2) saying Gibbons should gamble and start Bautista because Martin is a good contact hitter.

Boy, was that ever horrible.
I missed the pitch that Martin swung through so will have to watch the highlights later, but I have a bad feeling that pitch was intentionally a bad pitch because Jose completely telegraphed a hit-and-run

and gibby never bothered to call it off
