These two games have been irritating. Didn't think Seattle was this competitive

 

Fwiw, I don't think it's personal. It could just be that Seattle happened to be the team behind the wheel of the other car when the Twins' 17-7 road record collided with their -28 run differential.

The undead BM? Please say yes.

 

 

 

I was thinking furry rodent Bill, but that works too.

Hey, I've seen those documentaries about Canada. "The Great White North" clued me in on just how uncouth our Northern Neighbors are. I mean, seriously, drinking directly from a pitcher? Haven't you guys heard of straws?

Yes, yes we have.

"That's not bad for a quadruped!" I've praised our pug many times with those same words as she careens through our neighborhood behind the wheel of the Bombomobile.

I assumed we were talking about "the man who knew to little"

[Squirrel]

That Mauer sure is awful.

[twinsnorth49]

Mauersie.....as expected.

[Squirrel]

I mean, he shoulda hit a home run.

[glunn]

My Extra Innings feed keeps freezing. Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

BTW - tie game and Sano at bat with 2 runners..

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Was it three pitches?

In theory, is a 1 pitch inning is now possible?

[Squirrel]

And, buh bye.

[snepp]

SANO-SIE BOMB!

[LaBombo]

That bomb should be good for a few more All Star votes.

[Blake]

And now we know why Seattle cannot have nice things...

[glunn]

Sano!!! 

[jimbo92107]

Oh man, did Sano belt the crap out of that baseball. Wham.

[DrNeau]

The pitch... on the way. Fastball... inside... swung on... he hits it to center. It drops in! Base hit! The runner scores. And throws it to second. Safe! Safe! Not in time! Safe!

Nope. But it started out in Spanish. Not sure why or how that happens but got it switched back.

[DrNeau]

Sano with a BOMB!

[TwinsCD]

Nice hanger, Gallardo.

 

Huge credit to Mauer for doing what he does -- professional hitter.

[Aggies7]

You hang em, he bangs em. Great two out hitting

Kirby Puckett said a curve ball is a gift from god. That one had a juicy hump. Booooom.

[Blake]

 

In my barrio we call that motion 'exercise'.

yeah, but probably only 12 ounce curls while real men do 16 ounce curls..

[drock2190]

Great inning! Mauer's at bat was huge, especially when the Ump widened his strike zone. 

 

Now don't throw a 1st pitch meatball, Mejia!!

[LaBombo]

That all depends on who the pitcher is...

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Now let's hold this lead just a little bit longer...

[jimbo92107]

I'm using MLB TV through an Apple TV. Very good picture. Much better than through my PC.

And I think it's time that we also acknowledge the steady improvement Mauer has made over the years in his commercial voiceover work.

Technically zero, with pickoffs
