Yeah absolutely. No smoak is fine by me, and it can't hurt for Goins to shake some rust off either.

Stroman didn't have it all working early on, but he's been really strong the last three innings.

Really liking what I'm seeing from Stroman today. Hopefully he can go deep as I would believe Benoit, Grilli, Biagini, and Osuna are likely all unavailable to pitch.

That whole pitching motion is a balk waiting to happen.

The argument between the catcher and EE was strange too.

What a stupid end to the inning. Though clearly time had been called that is a horse crap wind up out of the stretch. The runners should break as soon as he pumps the first time. How you get to the majors, tripple pumping before he gets set is garbage. And then strike 3 was two feet off the plate.

I thought that was what they were arguing about originally - the guy rocks back and forth three or four times, takes a step toward the plate and stops.

Balk rules are confusing at the best of time. I don't like this kid's Lincecum lettuce

+1. Balks are confusing but triple pumping seems like total bull####

Wow, so we have Stroman absolutely rolling, switch him out for Cecil and immediately lose the game. Excellent.

Instead of sweeping the series they lose it thanks to dumb defensive mistakes and Cecil being completely useless.

I wonder if Cecil is going to set a new record for numbers of losses relative to innings pitched.
