Colby Lewis with an ERA north of 5 in that stadium is just dominating.

Playing with fire allowing leadoff man on in back to back innings but DP balls have been huge.

I like the way Kipnis hung in and made a good strong throw to first. It was a very good DP.

He's not available tonight. Manny said Pestano would most likely be the closer if we need it.

Right now I have more confidence in Pestano.

Smitty coming in with 2 on and nobody out. This is huge.

Not able to watch, but see the bases are loaded... This could get ugly.

Good shit Smitty. Can't believe he didn't chase that one.
