[Hosken Bombo Disco]

guess not...

[GCTF]

That;s nice,

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Lousy one running inning.

 

Happy now?

[stringer bell]

Nice at-bat Schafer.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I guess Barrio doesn't have wi-fi or something...

[stringer bell]

Dreaded 5-run lead.

[TheDean]

Wow. They're well on their way... That scoring drought feels like it was a long time ago... Kind of like the tigers' playoff hype.

[Circus Boy]

Dreaded 5-run lead.

 

Yes, it is problematic, ain't it?

 

By the way, it's gotta kill a contending team and its fans when a team out of the hunt does this type of number on them.

I wanted to see Vargas bat with bases loaded.

 

Damn you Joe, not drawing a walk there.

[GCTF]

Rough day for Old MacDonald.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

With Farmer out of the game in the 2nd, I wonder what Ausmus's plan for the bullpen is. Hope for complete games, I guess.

[GCTF]

Oops, nice read.

[Circus Boy]

Hitting is contagious.

 

(After Parmelee)... or not.

I didn't know Nunez had these wheels.

Looked like a chicken crossing the Mobius Strip.

Parmelee succeeds Zuke as "Designated Out".

[Craig Arko]

Parmelee succeeds Zuke as "Designated Out".

Somebody's got to do it, or they won't get the second game in for our pubber's.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I am waiting for a long ball to say "home plate is scoring position".

 

I want to say that attitude was attributed to Kirby Puckett. 

 

For full disclosure though, Dozier was running on the full count pitch to Mauer with 1 out when he scored on an ordinary single (which is what it's supposed to take to score when in scoring position)

 

But yeah, i don't know what to do with myself with these big leads...

[stringer bell]

Schafer and Nunez can really motor. I like having bench players with that skill.

Sharknado must be playing somewhere.

[stringer bell]

I hate to say it, but Pino looks pretty good.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

If anybody can figure out what Ausmus is doing, please let me know. I'll take Gardy any day of the week.

[Craig Arko]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Santana and Vargas are here to stay.

I sure hope so!!!

[mikeee]

It's always fun to pound on the Tigers!!  whoop!

[Craig Arko]

I guess Barrio doesn't have wi-fi or something...

Either that or they're a bunch of lightweights.

[Craig Arko]

Dick just said "Nobody expects the Twins to score 29 runs every two games."

 

He must not be a member here.

[stringer bell]

There's the double!

[Danchat]

I'm going to shut up about Schafer being in the lineup now. Man, these guys are just exploding with hits. It's been awhile since the last stretch of fun games to watch until now.

[Thegrin]

an error and a very lucky hit (and Parmalee's lack of speed) and Pino is pitching in bad luck and having to throw too many pitches this inning.
