    Nice hit, Jorge. Next time, stay close to the base.

    Shit, that’s a new game: inside two seam, ending way in off the plate.

    Whispering Fister, a slippery dude. Mainly two seam slipperiness. Frustrating!

    Alright, Ivan, be tough. Ground balls, that’s the ticket.

    yeah! once. Pop’s are okay, fine, indeed. And we’ll take a liner, but next time, that guy wants to swing.

    Watch out now boys: he’s gonna be happy with that two seamer. Let it get called, if you’re in doubt. He wants you to swing at what looks good, but breaks bad. Be cautious.

    Alright, he’s tuned in. Alex, you let a mistake down the middle go. Boys, you’re going to have to bunt it, if you can’t handle it.

    Okay, lads. Did you see Ivan? Now find that mistake! Hang in there.

    Swish, you look solid, but – whoa, wait on a solid one, don’t swing out of your shoes.

    Jorge, he’s throwing a breaking ball on 2 -2.

    He’s definitely keeping us off balance. Brett, Jete and Grandy, some small ball, please.

    How ’bout THAT mojo? Had second stolen, but the hitter made the throw to get him.

    Good catch, Swish!

    Well, well, Jorge worked a walk. 2 on for Russell. He didn’t look good last time. OK, 2cd and 3rd, two outs for Gardner. Drum roll…

    Whooooeee! 2 men in! Attaboy, Brett!

    Just for the record, Cano with yet another run scoring double, to center, over Mr. Jackson’s head.

    Like to see Alex kick out the jams, here. Nope, the ump got bored, and called him out, for a ball way outside. You’re so good, Alex, you only get two strikes.

    Joe said he was delighted with Nova’s performance, but later said he didn’t have his best stuff. On response in his interview, Nova said at first , he had command only with his fastball, said he threw only a single changeup, but he thought he later got everything working.

    I figure what Joe was missing was lefty batters for him to embarrass with his slider inside. So, only 4 k’s, and he yanked several, usually just dirtballs that Russell handled. Thought he had Victor in the butt (that one chance with the lefty) but it went BEHIND him. Little ticks, great effort!
