  CF did not come up throwing! Did he not know the situation of it possibly being a SF?

  Shhh....Welsh might be reading this
  
  But yeah...Blanco is sucking badly

  Greinke, Kershaw and Ryu in the next 3. It would be nice for this offense to hang around...

  I think we'll hit enough....but the Dodgers are just clicking full throttle, though Kemp on DL

  Regardless....Choo does it every single time on that play and he missed at least 1......but the anger by Welsh was silly...he even snapped at George. Lol

  Yes the perils are real, making it not a cinch to pull off, but nevertheless I am a big supporter of the slide for safety and and being able to make the play with minimal risk of injury. Also it is a great way to start reversing your momentum like the SS on the play in the hole, on a run away from the infield to pick up the ball and get it back in, and I saw just this week a runner rounding first thinking about going to 2nd, but putting on the brakes by sliding and getting back to 1B quickly.
  
  If I were a coach, I think I'd have a drill where there would be a runner on first, the ball laying ~40' behind 2nd base, a defender on 2B, and blow a whistle to start the action and see if the defender could throw out the runner at 2nd on a tag play by a 3rd player. It would them out giving good practice on sliding into 2nd, tagging, and executing the slide play to quickly get the ball back in, and throwing to a tag play.

  Leake couldn't pull another miracle on that ball that Izturis was able to save the run on.
• mhs95_06

  Leake escapes the 4th!

  So if we hold on and S&L makes the next game thread....do I have to be a dumbass again and start a duplicate?

  Gregor Blanco is definitely in the Adam Dunn, Alfonso Soriano and Johnny Damon slept with Chris Welsh's wife club.

  Yes, at 8:58 AM and 9:18 PM exactly.

  I already asked that.
  
  My vote is for yes.

  Ugh....I'll do my best
• Azubuike24

  

  I'd bet S&L has a much tougher time hitting the 8:58 AM than you will the evening time slot.
• mhs95_06

  Leake escapes the 5th! The high FB that K'd Crawford was key.
• Azubuike24

  

  That's a bomb at GABP...

  Looks like we'll see
• Ironman92

  

  When did Marco Scutero become Rogers Hornsby?
• Ironman92

  

  Leake can pitch another but a couple bullpen guys might need an inning.
  
  I'm good either way. Personally I'd send him back out.
• Midstate01

  

  Shocked he sent leake back out. Gotta take him out. Bullpen needs work anyway
• Midstate01

  

  This game is about to become really interesting
• Midstate01
