That was superb on both ends. Textbook stretch by Kotchman was necessary to get the call, and he did it.J.R. wrote:Donald saves a run!

7217Kipnis adrenalin airmails a throw home. Run scores and runner on base.
Good throw would have had the lead runner.
He was throwing from the infield turf just behind the first base side of the mound. Santana leaped to the left still was feet short of getting the ball both in height and reach left

7218Fernanez has K'd 8 of us through 5 2/3.
Now we're seeing him for the 3rd time with our hitters. Hope they learned something. I think we've swung at pitches that dropped late and would have been called balls.

7219Fernandez has surpassed his season high on pitches. Now at 108 with no outs in the 8th.
Re: GameTime!™
7220My man Hannahan drives a single to center with one out in the 8th.
Let's stretch Fernandez out of this game here.....
Infield hit off the pitcher for Donald.
1st and 2nd and one out.

7221Wedge visits the mound and leaves Fernandez in with 113 pitches.
Ump calls a gift strike.....but now a hit by Brantley!
Bases loaded. One out

Re: GameTime!™
7222Kipnis swings mightily at what would have been a ball.... and again to K.
Two down and up to Choo.

Re: GameTime!™
7223Choo K's and Fernandez pumps and jumps and flexes and screams as he leaves the field.
Re: GameTime!™
7225Tomlin has matched Fernandez pretty darn well. Both have given up 5 hits. Tomlin has K'd 7 in his 8 innings, while Fernandez K'd 12.
Re: GameTime!™
7226Leadoff walk to Santana starts our 9th.
Hafner singles to right, Carlos stopping at 2nd.
No outs.
Perfect bunt by Kotchman moves the runners up. Tie run at 3rd, go ahead at 2nd for Duncan and Hannahan.

Re: GameTime!™
7229Someone missed a sign for us. Duncan broke for home with the pitch to Donald, and Donald swung fully fouling it away.
New pitcher. Up to Brantley to get insurance for us.
And then lets get a W by closing out the Mariners in the 9th.

7230Brantley gets an intentional ball after going 3-0 in the count.
Bases loaded for Kipnis.
Interesting, Chris Perez is sitting in the pen.
Tomlin at 96 pitches.
