    That's 6 straight plate appearances in which he's reached base.

    Allowing Moehler to even put a ball in play is a sign of a pitcher having a really bad day.

    79 pitches for Garland through 3. ML average per inning is 16.5.

    Young Puma flashback. Showed his first 2 HR.

    Just now, he nearly put a hole through Eckstein. Drilled it right at him. Bad luck.

    He got all of that. Thought it would make it over the fence.

    I think it's about 340 to that part of the park.

    Highlight reel diving grab by Puma on a scorched line drive. That may be the defensive play of the day across MLB without knowing what happened elsewhere.

    Lopez pretty ineffective on this night.

    3 H, a balk and 2 runs allowed.

    After the season, they really....need to look back at all these balk calls as of late, and either change the rule a bit, or make it more known to the players.

    This is becoming a joke. Lopez rocked his arm a bit..was he trying to fake the runner at first? No. If it's in the rule book, I understand it being called, but something has to be changed at the end of the season.

    Navarro almost looks like he's in a fetal position at the plate.

    I've also noticed that he seems to have a bit of a hunchback which makes him look a bit awkward when fielding and throwing the ball.

    Is "The Hunchback Fetus" a cool nickname?

    Doesn't quite roll off the tongue like "Puma" or "El Caballo"...

    The Hunchback Fetus barely gets the ball to Puma at 1st in time.

    Hunch had a hitch before he got rid of it.

    40 years from now, he could tell his grandkids stories about the legend of The Hunchback Fetus and his glorious 2 week MLB career.
