Mr. Farmer is now not locating the strike zone, and Mauer gets ahead in the count 0-2

The name of the pitcher for Detroit tonight is Buck Farmer.

 

Careful, everyone.

looks like nasty weather in the north suburbs. Be safe, people.

I thought that wrath has already been put forth onto this team.

Yours ago the good lord would have simply rained down hordes of locusts, days of rain, pestilence, or turned Robbie G to salt! Those were the good old days. Now he makes us listen to Dick/Bert for 3 1/2 hours. (Or More)

[HitInAPinch]

OMG, Mauer strikes out against this turd???

[LaBombo]

'Buck Farmer' sounds like high schooler barely-anagram code for hating the principal, Mr. Barmer.

 

And also a bad name for use in an improv karaoke version of 'The Name Game' song.

Last night someone said 23k, I didn't see the k. Tonight I don't thing all 23 showed up! There is only so much the Target Experience can do?

Yeah, that was me. Announced attendance always seems to be about 23k, despite the fact that half that appear to actually be there. I see that last night's attendance was 23k. It's too obvious a coincidence to be a coincidence.

 

Would not be shocked to see tonight's attendance at 23k.

joe shoulda put down the sac bunt.

This was the album cover I meant to put on the intro.  Sorry.

Careful, everyone.

That name is awesome.  Kind of reminds me of Fred Garvin.

Twins scoring threat plowed under by Farmer...

CBU Update (we still doing those?)

 

Berrios walks two in top of first, escapes via strikeout.

 

Dozier and Polanco walk in the bottom of the first, Mauer and Vargas whiff. The fate of the season now rides on Max Kepler. 

[wsnydes]

That name is awesome. Kind of reminds me of Fred Garvin.

 

Reminds me more of Buck Futter from the old SNL Celebrity Jeopardy bits.

Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton will save us with those pop can sensors that they put in Dorthy!

I don't think the heavy stuff will come down for awhile

Good one.  How about this one:

 

Farmer pounds nine fence posts into the ground.

[operation mindcrime]

Well, Berrios got out of it.  All it took was 29 pitches.  Berrios has big problems pitching from the stretch.

Neal Allen must be proud of the job he's doing!

[jimmer]

who is catching again?  Bringing low pitches down instead of up?

I hate manure too, Biff.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

After Parker's article about Berrios tipping his pitches, I've been watching his wrist angle as he brings the ball behind him and have been able to call every fastball or changeup he's thrown before he starts forward. It's plain as day. No way the hitters don't see that too.

It's gotta also have something to do with why Berrios always needs to throw so many pitches to get batters out. Again tonight. 2 innings, 47 pitches.

Man. I like Tarantino's movies. It's just, I have a hard time watching them.

[wsnydes]

Dick has bought into the offense only philosophy hook, line, and sinker. Wow.
