    Well that was lucky. He should have been able to drive that ball if he was looking for it. Weak fly. And that frustrates. Gattis should be all or nothing ahead in the count so I expect more. But Power of the grasshopper.

    Who knew that the slump buster could be Julia eating a grasshopper. Give her a lifetime contract. Now.

    Rare big inning which started with two outs. Hopefully this will help the hitters relax a little out there.

    Wonder who pitches this inning . I might try and send musgrove back out there with a dude in the pen in case.

    That was a weird play (and by weird, I mean awesome). I don't really blame Seager...Springer played that perfectly. How often do you rocket a ball to the warning track over the RF's head, and it's not an easy double?

    I wish someone would have told our pitchers last year that all you have to do to get Valencia out is throw a breaking ball low and away.

    I would.... it's no big deal to me.... apparently thousands of folks are doing it in Seattle and its no big deal... I don't think it would be too bad.

    I was in Cambodia and they had tarantulas but I couldnt. Just couldnt get over the fear of spiders enough to eat one of those legs.
