Random observation:

Xavier Nady's still in the big leagues. Did not know that.

Kipnis gives us a 2-0 lead. This game is going quick.

That might be why I was surprised to know he was in them, because I hadn't heard or seen his name in some time. One of those guys who came into the majors with a lot of potential, but never realized it due to injury problems.

Attaboy Kipnis!

I'm watching on FS San Diego since I get it on my cable feed in Tucson and their announcers are pretty funny. One was bitching about the cold and then they circled a kid in a michigan hat and asked what he's doing deep in Buckeye territory. Pretty funny tandem.

Why does everyone hate Underwood? I realize he's no Hamilton, but IMO there are much much worse than him.

Not for me. The regional MLB Network coverage for me is A's/Twins. I could watch on MLB.TV but eh I don't mind the Padres' guys.

He is awful. By far the worst, imo. Ive heard a lot also. He is so bad Rick Manning constantly makes fun of him and points out his dumbass comments. Not to mention the Baseball Tonight guys who have completely mocked his "Souvenir City" HR call for the last 6 years. So bad that Underwood now says, "Hes out of room, its out of here" before adding the souvenir city. It has made the bad call even worse lol.

I just hate the fact that the dude simply doesnt know the game that well.

Now, he was out cause the guy hit the base with his foot and I am pretty sure that you are still forced even on a tag. But it would be nice to know for the future.
Yeah....could impact a game. Could have impacted this one but I think the end result was right.

I guess I just dont listen close enough. Never seemed to bother me, and I really enjoy manning (and hamilton much more so than anyone, obviously).

None of them touch Neil Sika, though.

Manning is above average, imo. One of the better color guys in baseball. Underwood is just so bad, it overshadows him lol

One of the (many) things that drives me nuts about Underwood is he raises his voice every time the ball is hit to the outfield as if it's a home run...it's annoying as hell.

Really nice inning by Bauer. And MLB is gonna have to revise that rule. The transfer thing is fine, but not when it's in the glove for 3 seconds prior.

Error by Asdrubal to put the guy on (advanced to second as ball hit the dugout). Then a "double" to right field where the catch was made as Murphy (I think he is in RF) hit the wall. He secured it before the wall, then throughout the hit of the wall. Took a full step forward and lost the ball in the transfer. They rule it a double, after replay. 2nd and 3rd.

Then, a groundout to 2nd scores a run, K and then groundout to 1st ends the inning.

On the Murphy play. I don't understand why the umpire signaled safe if he saw Murphy miss the bag. Or is that proper umpire protocol?

Ive seen them signal safe on plays like that, usually at home, when the tag or whatever isnt made. Then if the catcher goes back and tags him, they call them out. I didnt think it was nearly as unusual as Manning made it sound, though, to be fair, its not usually done at 1st base.

lol, I just noticed that on the final play of this game. He got all excited about Cabrera taking one to the outfield...for an easy liner that seemed to go straight to the outfielder's glove.

Positive note from the late game, Bauer looked, comparatively speaking, awesome!
