I love DVH using the rule book to slow their pitcher down.

[Feral]

Aside from Thomas's double and Davalan's homer the next AB, this guy is mowing down our lineup.

Top 4

#32 runs the count full, singles to left, stretched it into a double, nearly thrown out at second.  He looks out. Under review, close call between touching the bag and touching the glove, maybe not enough to overturn. Nope, safe.

Batter flies out to center on the first pitch, runner tags and gets to third.

Beidelschies tags #16 on the shoulder, runners at the corners with one out.

#44 Barczi sends a three run shot to left.

3-2 bad guys, their first lead this series

#13 up. 2-1, pitch in the dirt, infield single to first as beidelschies does not cover first

Hobbs a mound meeting with the infield

#19 Rigdon up, #13 tries to steal 2nd on a passed ball, still thrown out by 37 feet by helfrick. 2 down. Grounds out to third

End 4, 3-2 shitbirds

[Son of Spam]

He's out. And of course, ruled safe. BS.

Any word at all on when Gage Wood will return?  In Arlington they made it sound like it wasn't a real injury.  More like shoulder tightness.

[Hizog]

He's out. And of course, ruled safe. BS.

That was so bad. Obvious out

It is like Nate has told them to go up and swing as hard as you can.

[Feral]

It is like Nate has told them to go up and swing as hard as you can.

Same for Souza, who's back to his swing-and-miss ways with 2 K's in 2 PA's.

He has more swinging strikeouts than anyone I've ever seen.

EDIT - of course he doubles immediately after I write this, lol.
