Rain on the way. A couple more 20 min innings and it could all be just a bad dream for Jose

Well, if you're sure he's going to cut it down to 20 an inning maybe I'll stick around for another inning after all.

But that would mean Dozier will have hit 2 homeruns that don't count in about a week! (I'd rather lose than that happen, frankly.)

He's either becoming one the greatest hitters in the game, or????????

[Craig Arko]

That virtual Hall of Fame tour looks pretty cool.

KC announcers love Danny Santana. He would look good in a Royals uniform.

[HitInAPinch]

Interesting sequence of pitches.  Lot's of breaking balls.

[Willihammer]

Ball that hopped into Plouffes face had am exit velo of 104

[Willihammer]

Dozier hr- 105.7, 454 ft, his longest in statcast era going back to last year

Abomination.

He did more in the Cleveland series than some of our other prospects have done in their ML careers

[Aggies7]

Man, the rain is getting close to KC, but it doesn't appear that it would be an all night type of thing. And they'll absolutely try to get the top of the 5th in.

He's just setting himself up for Comeback Player Of The Year consideration in 2017.

[LaBombo]

Neil Allen probably thinking about moving Berrios' release point to Rochester by now.

or teams have developed a pretty good book on Kepler...

In other news, Ervin Santana has cancelled his order at the printer's for business cards saying "Player/Coach".

Weather Underground says it's going to rain heavily until midnight.

Here's a shot from the Brandon Fraser Yankees movie I was referencing. It was called "the scout" and this picture couldn't possibly be more 90s

Judging solely by the radar, that does not appear to be the case. Although it seems as if this game will be official before any of that matters.

It was a horrible movie. Fraser's character was named Steve Nebraska.

Who knows? What I was looking at is more general I'm sure.

Never know with the weather.

 

I'm the first person to have ever said that.

[HitInAPinch]

Thar's a start.   ROSARIO!!

[Willihammer]
