I love Pronk just staying within himself and doing what is needed at the plate in each situation recently. That's not always the Pronk of old I recall.

And Fukudome is now 3 for 4.

FukUDoMe keeps it alive with a single putting runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs.

And Duncan breaks his maiden on the night with a 2 out RBI single.

10-3 us.

Nice work by Duncan there with an 0-2 count.

Duncan gets a hit and RBI swinging off his knee

Duncan breaks his maiden off his knee. LOL

10-3 as Jimenez will start the 7th at 91 pitches.

I'd love him to squeeze two more innings tonight.

Good move getting Asdrubal out and to the locker room. Donald in at short.

Is ACab hurt? I'm not watching the game now..

LOL!


For the uninitiated to horse racing, "breaks his/her maiden" refers to a horse of any sex winning the first career race.

By the way, that apprentice jockey who fell off his horse at Del Mar is going to be OK. He went down in front of multiple other 1,200 pound horses who fortunately mostly evaded him on the ground. Just a wrist injury.

He literally did just fall off. His foot came out of the irons and he fell off as his horse happily continued on without him.

He's at least hobbled. He took a hard ball on his foot while batting early in the game but stayed in. When he later ran the bases it was more of a fast walk. Announcers think the heel is hurting him.

Jimenez finishes the 7th at 104 pitches as Leyland brings in another pitcher in our 7th.


It's a warm night. With the 7 run lead I'd let Jimenez start the 8th and give him 12 pitches or until the 2nd runner gets on.

Dang, this team is snakebitten! All our best hitters get hurt!

I heard Acta say in the pregame that they were hoping for 8 innings from Ubaldo.

5 for 5 for Kipnis!
