Shhh! Keep your voice down! We don't want the Royals to know that, do we?

[HitInAPinch]

TWINS LEAD!  TWINS LEAD!

[David HK]

Oooh, back from class just in time for that--  good on ya, Esco!

 

You can put it on the boooooooooard--- YES!

 

Don't stop now, boys!

Most entertaining game I've watched this year!

[jud6312]

 

Oh yeah! Seems have worked JUST THE WAY they wanted it to.

We should never question Gen. Molitor's strategery again.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A lead? Careful. We are in uncharted teritory...

All about playing spoiler. Trophies are for chumps, the real victories come when staring 100 losses in the face and ruining another team's night. Hashtag grit.

TV announcers have to speak for 486 hours during a 162-game season.

 

No wonder they wind up having nothing much to say.

 

Rex Hudler for the Royals earlier said Butera was a great backup catcher because he can hit (in all seriousness), and just now he said that Suzuki will be a valuable pickup for a National League team because he can pinch hit.

[HitInAPinch]

Over / Under on Suzuki taking over in RF?

What, never?

No worries, I'm sure they've got Everyday lighting matches around that open gas can they call a bullpen right now.

[LaBombo]

Dick notes that Suzuki has the green light on 3-0... like you'd take the axe bat out of that guy's hands.

[gocgo]

How many home runs will Napoli hit against us during the Indians series?  I'd say the Vegas line is 2.5.

[HitInAPinch]

ah crap, Kepler in RF

[LaBombo]

 

 

Over / Under on Suzuki taking over in RF?

Yes.

 

Wait. Just tonight, or for good?

[Platoon]

Between the 6th and 7th inning that Gossman was trying to keep the Twins I'm this game all by himself? For posterities sake I have locked that into my DBR, and am going to donate it to the HOF when RB is indicted!

[gocgo]

Morales is out of the game...we can go to extra innings now.

[ScrapTheNickname]

In three years Terrance Gore has 14 steals in 10 plate appearances (without being caught). Wow.

Depends on how early in the series Rogers beans him.

[jud6312]

 

What, never?

Nope. He got one right. Immunity achieved.

You gotta let a lumberjack be a lumberjack.

He gone??

[Don Walcott]

Gone!

[KirbyDome89]

Another one...

[Tovar12]

What did they do to Buxton's swing in the minors to produce all this power in the past couple of weeks?

[LaBombo]

Hang in there, Buxie, but remember: you're never gonna get your BABIP out of the toilet if you don't put the ball in play.
