I really think it was a good time to pinch hit for Espinosa. 

How about a permanent benching....aka RELEASING HIM?

Man is it too much to ask to release Espinosa?

I just don't get it....if you want to keep him (because of his contract), use him as a defensive replacement (he has value there) or as a pinch runner....just don't let him near a bat......

[Blarg]

All of Wrights outs are strikeouts.

How much longer are we gonna play espy?

I think he contaminated Calhoun and Valbuena's bats by putting his too close to them.

Until we release him....

[Homebrewer]

2 on, 2 out...Espinosa coming up.

I went to make a sandwich.

I think I heard he made contact, though?

Timmy Lupus > Espinohitsa

Oglivie > Espinohitsa

[Blarg]

If he is on the Yakult Swallows bench it wouldn't be a problem. 

[Blarg]

Maybe we should have pinch hit for Valbuena. 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Drive in a run cleanup hitter....

[Blarg]

Double dies at second. 

[Ohtaniland]

Valbuena now hitting.172 and we hated on Mathis. Geez some of these acquisitions are pathetic.

[Richard]

That ball was smoked.

Bummer

[Blarg]

I think Calhoun, Valbuena and Espinosa should all accept a one week trip to the minor leagues and bring only two of them back. 

[eligrba4ever]

A 2-bagger from Kole? Don't see that much anymore. He should remember how he swung.

[Jason]

Terrible AB from Marte

[Richard]

Unproductive out.

[krAbs]

I don't care what anyone says, this team IS exciting. Calhoun leads off with a double? Lets see what fun and exciting way they find to screw this inning up!

[Blarg]

I really don't think Revere'productive out is going to help.

That's what unproductive players do

[Richard]

All up to Geritol.

[Jason]

This is who they are

[Blarg]

Maybe we should have pinch hit for Graeterol.

Perhaps the king of pop ups, Mr. Maldanado gets a shot today.
