Is the wind that bad tonight Matt?

Not Matt but they were saying earlier on the LHN that the wind was blowing out and you could expect to see some long balls.

Is the wind that bad tonight Matt?

It's blowing hard from RF. I didn't think he got enough to get that ball out, but it kept carrying. I think it went higher than the distance from the plate.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Johnston isn't going to see many more innings if he can't throw a strike. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Big response there by Johnston.

Man, can't be thrown out there with our best hitter up. 

 

[MikeV73]

Correct me if I'm wrong but trying to steal third with two outs, best hitter at the plate, and runner already in scoring position....bad idea.

 

[hoskins5]

This team is painful to watch sometimes

Baker can play some SS.
