I have always been a Patrick Sandoval fan.  I’ve always had high hopes and expectations for him, especially after watching him pitch in the World Baseball Classic.

Not so much anymore.  He has potential, but my God, he needs to toughen up mentally.  Seriously.

The ball is coming out of his hand well. He's just working on some things.

Is anyone else noticing the constant sound disruption on the Ballys telecast?

...but to answer your question seriously, if you're talking about the low rumbling sound that crops up every now and then, I'm pretty sure that's just something coming from the stadium sound system.

I really hate having three Al west teams in the playoffs, but it appears that is likely.

WHO WOO??

So far tonight, his name has been Cy.

I think the radio broadcast might have canned crowd noise because it will totally cease at random moments. Those two guys are broadcasting from the empty Big A, and it's a two-bit operation. I looked up the producer/engineer whose name Terry loves to say with a dramatic flourish, and from what I could gather is more of a PR man than an engineer.

Leave him out there to 120 pitches

Well the bright. Side is we won’t have to sit through 11 innings of baseball tonight 

[Biergott]

Maybe if we let them score 20-30 tonight they’ll be like us and score nothing tomorrow 

It’s strategery

I'm not even watching.

This thread is entertaining without the game

It’s stupid, more cheap Arte Moreno.

They kinda need to.  Bullpen game tomorrow afternoon (1pm start time).

[eligrba4ever]

Sandoval has done 5 innings in 87  92 pitches. He has another 15 pitches in that arm, and maybe a couple of more runs.

Yeah, team just playing out the string now. Sandoval can go 120 pitches without his arm coming apart.

Mama and I are watching the game on Mute, listening to music in the backyard.  As we always do on away games.

So much nicer, but getting cold up here.

We get cold here in Bixby Knolls for about three days in mid-January.

Neto acing it in the field

[Duren, Duren]

On Sportsnet (Canada) they think so little of west coast games that they just 'join them in progress'. This whole series is like that. Even tomorrow's afternoon game. God forbid that they disrupt their eastern programming schedule. So mercifully this time I missed the first six innings.

And what's with the missed popups in the infield? Yesterday O'Hoppe, tonight Schamuel.

Is Joe Jost’s near Bixby Knolls?  I only ask because when I took my wife there a few weeks ago, it was kind of chilly.  Not Big Bear Chilly, but dive bar chilly.  And totally awesome.

Sure, why wouldn't another player get injured.

[daygloman]

Humiliated.

SMFH.
