Martin with an RBI now. Sure would be nice if this is a sign of things to come for these guys.

What's an MLB game without a video review to slow things down.

Very happy with Happ thus far this season. Kind of reminds me of Buehrle (but not last years version!)

Wow, that was a close pitch. Now he gets the hook, too bad.

But what an awesome job. Man he's been great this season.

Thank goodness, Osuna gets a K to end it.

Happ the MVP tonight, Tulo with the honorable mention.

Buck and pat were talking about Tulo flattening out his swing and he has this big game. Is that the remedy Tulos woes?

Managing to the save is dumb. Frankly, I'd rather they not use their best reliever to get just one out (it means he'll likely be unavailable some other day when we need 3) but I'll forgive it this time.

I think if they had a better record and were playing better, they could use someone else, but they are desperate for wins, and with the way the rest of the bullpen has been pitching. Gotta make sure you get that W.

Horray day game today, I've got a feeling the Jay's are going to go on a bit of a run here and work their way up in the east.

Errrr wait nm Dickey pitches tomorrow.

I generally don't trust much of anything that Buck and Pat say now. They just use the same cliches over and over, so them saying he's "flattened" his swing doesn't really mean much to me.

What is it with all of my favourite sports teams having terrible starts to their seasons a year after winning their first playoff series in over a decade?

That actually is and was a save situation since there were two on, making the on deck batter the tying run when he came in, which is one of the criteria. He got credited with a save. Gibbons actually was managing to the save.

Saves are the stupidest thing in the history of sports.
