[stringer bell]

C'mon guys, this is getting ridiculous. Swing the bats!

[JB_Iowa]

 

The girls had to find work.

 

So does Tyler Mason.

[stringer bell]

 

 

I guess with that bullpen, you can pull the starter early.

It is what sets KC apart from everybody else in the AL.

[Craig Arko]

I will brazenly predict Sano does not bunt.

[JB_Iowa]

Okay, switching to the tablet.

 

Keep me entertained, guys.  I'll be reading but I probably won't post much.

Gardy's watching this game at home wondering if he should take out some lotion.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Rosario has a great batting eye and presence-- until the count runs 3-2

[stringer bell]

That's why you don't bunt a guy over.

[USAFChief]

Can anyone imagine Gardy (or Molitor, for that matter) taking his starter out in a 1-0 game, runner on third, LH hitter at the plate, needing a K?

 

Me neither.

[Aggies7]

This offense is absolutely brutal to watch. Everyone has had a hand in the misery.

[spinowner]

Well at least the good guys are still up a run

[stringer bell]

I'm blaming Plouffe or whoever ordered him to bunt.

[Aggies7]

I'm blaming Plouffe or whoever ordered him to bunt.

When it literally takes us three hits to score a run, bunting is probably not wise.

[stringer bell]

Dick can't contain his enthusiasm for the bunting game.

[Craig Arko]

This offense is absolutely brutal to watch. Everyone has had a hand in the misery.

Yet this offense ranks 13/30 in MLB in runs scored. How? Beats me too.

[ashbury]

Well at least the good guys are still up a run

Oh, sure, you glass-is-half-full guys and your half-full glasses.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I haven't been paying attention...

 

Are we still basically playing against the AL starting all star line up?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh, sure, you glass-is-half-full guys and your half-full glasses.

The important thing is that its our glass that's half full.

[spinowner]

Gibson is money tonight.

[stringer bell]

 

I haven't been paying attention...

Only five of them, including the second baseman.

[Blake]

So, I leave for 45 minutes to have dinner with my lovely spouse, come back and it's in the 6th inning already. Told my wife it must be a low scoring game..did not expect the Twins to be up 1-0.

 

I sort of expect that Gibson will scream bloody murder if he is pulled before the 9th inning. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Only five of them, including the second baseman.

Ah, i guess they have different glass that's half full.

 

Kudos to them.

[Craig Arko]

Only five of them, including the second baseman.

If we beat them, do we get home field advantage?

[David HK]

Twins O: "You hold 'em to a goose egg, young man, and we'll see if.we can scratch out a run for ya at.some point. " Every day lately...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I haven't been paying attention...Are we still basically playing against the AL starting all star line up?

no Josh Donaldson is the 3B now, and Miggy is the 1B

 

 

EDIT: voting still open thru tonite

I'm watching on my Kindle and I discovered it is a few seconds behind the live action. Nice double Esco.

Yes and No. With KC's bullpen, expect that 6th = 9th inning

No, it's fine. We've been accumulating leap seconds so we're actually in the future.

[jimbo92107]

I guess it's time to call this a pitching duel. Man, I wanted to see Sano pound one out...
