Seeking6 Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Never a bad time to see Molina perform amateur hour to the best. Couldn't catch the hook and makes a poor throw to allow another run. Somewhere our friend is reading this and will either chime in.....or give it 8 minutes and chime in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised it took 4 minutes for the response from a Purdue fan on an IU board. I knew the delay was intentional....but still couldn't help yourself. My guess is Cubs pen will blow this lead.

5fouls Posted May 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I'm headed up to GABP today. That means the Reds will lose. Especially since a Reds batter hit 3 home runs last night. Last time I went to a game, Aquino had hit 3 homers the night before. Cubs drilled the Reds the next day. Winker hits 3 homers last night. Should mean an easy Brewer victory today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I was flipping through old player highlight videos on YouTube last night...watched one of Mike Schmidt and it included him dropping down a bunt single to start a late inning rally. I had to laugh. How the game has changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Yankees turned a rare triple play late in a game last night against the White Sox. Happened in the top of the 9th inning and they had runners on first and second, no thanks to Chapman. But the Yankees won the game in the bottom of the 9th with a walk-off base hit by Gleyber Torres 2-1! What a week, first the no-hitter by Kluber and now last nights game!

Similar to Eddie Murray. 18 years with Philadelphia...548 hrs...1595 rbis...a very good all around player both offensively and defensively. Murray is a good comparison.

5fouls Posted May 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Kyle Farmer batting 5th today for the Reds. How exciting is that. When I would go to a game as a kid, Tony Perez or Johnny Bench batted 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
