Big save for Cardiac Kintzler.

 

That's a really nice series to take after the embarassing performance against Houston.

[TwinsCD]

Might be the first time I've seen a game end on a challenge.

 

 

Mmmmmmmm....chicken...and for the replay booth too!

[Aggies7]

Thank goodness for replay

[Blake]

Winner.

Nice play by EA to seal it and give Nolasco the L

 

Solid road series win!

Interesting note from the Braves game: Danny Santana went 4-5 (1 HR 2 2B), with 3 runs and 3 RBI. He was also awarded NL MVP during the 7th inning stretch.

Even with that performance, he's still hitting just .200, not to mention before today his OPS was .396. I don't think he's going to go the way of 2017 Aaron Hicks.

And hope wins the day!

I'm throwing a shout out to Glunn! 4 out of 4 would have been the best, but I will take 3 out 4 anytime of the week and twice on Sundays!

 

 

Thanks Glunn!!!

That's because

 

Cue: Albert Hammond

Finally took a moment to google it.

 

I am particularly fond of the Spike Jones rendition...

[Blake]

And the Twins win again on the road. 

 

This is a weird year.

 

Good but weird.

[Blake]

I would have given odds NY wasn't going to overturn that call.

Berrios looks to be the real deal. Holy ****, we need him.

[Blake]

Yes. I was happy to see Molitor put Berrios out for the 6th. And Berrios responded.

Me too buddy. I might have gave him a try in the 7th as well.

It was difficult making out Darius's words, his tongue was so firmly planted in his cheek.

[Blake]

 

Me too buddy. I might have gave him a try in the 7th as well.

Maybe next time. I couldn't argue too much with Molitor taking Berrios out after the sixth, simply because it is still early in Berrios' career. Molitor showed a bit of confidence with that move.

Me neither. The bullpen just frightens me too much.

I did my best, but blew the game last night by wearing the wrong shirt.

Accidents happen. Stupid shirts. You did great my friend!

There is no such thing as too much hope.

Just like too much garlic.

 

Impossible.

[David HK]

 

 But the rocks in the outfield!

That ridiculous scene is from when Disney owned the team.  They were all about cross-marketing their theme park and movie crap with the ball team.  That's why they had those ugly-as-sin periwinkle uni's with the angel wings on them, while they were trying to promote video rentals of "Angels in the Outfield," and then when they opened the "Disney's California Adventure" section of their theme park across the freeway, those stupid rocks and trees appeared in the outfield.

 

I was living there when Moreno bought the team, and changed the jerseys to look like an actual MLB franchise, and I thought then, that maybe he'd get those stupid, senseless rocks out of there, too, but maybe they were just too heavy.

Impossible.

So... what if i hope for too much garlic?

[David HK]

 

Well, yeah, but still, dodger dogs!

OMG, and it would be a sin to miss those garlic fries....

 

*slobber...*

[David HK]

 

So... what if i hope for too much garlic?

Would that be a dilemma, or a conundrum?

[snepp]

 

Would that be a dilemma, or a conundrum?

 

Yes.

Um, I kind of like the rocks.

 

I liked the win more. The umpire was awful, Nolasco was good, Berrios was good but a bit lucky, and the bullpen did their job. I've never personally seen a game end on an overturned review play, but they got it right.
