I'm watching the AT&T broadcast with the radio audio overlayed. That way I block Block.
Game is on ESPN with their top crew, interviewing Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro League Museum. The 4th went so fast, he was nice enough to keep hanging around to tell more stories. It was great

Underwood has been pretty much useless since the end of April

Maybe not, but teenage girls like him so....



I have to give you props. You called this early- last year.



He's been given every opportunity in the books. I don't want to bang on the kid, but he's got to earn his keep.

Craig has to go. Dead center nothing pitch that should have made it a 5-4 game, at the very least 5-3, and he can barely lift half way to the outfield.

Oviedo in. This really ticks me off. Shelton overused the same guys against Colorado, and the pen blows the lead.



In that DH, he had a chance to go deep into the pen with sizeable leads, but no, he had to use his best guys, probably out of wanting to make sure the losing streak was put to rest by using a sledge hammer to put in a picture nail.



Now, he's forced to use Underwood, and now Oviedo, in high leverage situations. Underwood already failed. Oviedo is not off to a good start.
