When Vladdy said "My house" last season and pointed down at the field after beating the Yankees I guess he meant hitting into groundball outs.

Vladdy plain and simply sucks now. And when your best player is some guy who just came up from the minors it means there’s problems with the rest of the bunch.

Kirk hit his ninth double this season. Schneider already has four.

Kirk has been a complete bust this year.

What a weird play. The catcher made 3 moves before the tag. There was a chance that could be called back.

Or not. Who know’s what is blocking anymore? To be honest, Kirk should have been out regardless. That rule is ####ing stupid and it needs to go.

Haha Kirk needed a ball to the warning track to score. So sad watching him lumber towards home.

I think they’d lose the DH if they moved Jansen to catcher. They’d probably need to have Varsho catch.

Jansen is already catching.

You don't pinch run for Kirk because he isn't the tying run. The same reason you don't send him home...

Kirk is the DH tonight. You'd lose nothing by pinch running for him.
