Dozier ok?

Stayed in the game.

[LaBombo]

He stayed in the game. He's still flexing his arm and not taking much of a lead from first, but the important thing is that it looks like there's no damage to his Glorious Hair.

A certain fan from Chicago is relieved.

It would seem Miranda does not have the right to be out there today...

[Circus Boy]

Looks like Berrios is on today the way Santana wasn't last night.

[Squirrel]

 

I'm totally hung over, so please type quietly everyone.

 

Last night we met a winemaker, and he just kept opening bottles for us all to taste....thank goodness we were walking and not driving, that could have been a very expensive LYFT ride.

Yeah ... you need to remember to drink water in between tastings ... and not just to dilute your system to avoid hangovers, but also to 'wash your palate' for the next set.

Read him his rights.

I see what you did there.  Must not be too hung over to exhibit such wordsmithing.

I had to edit it to get it close to that right!

Even in Pony League everyone could see the pitcher's sphincter shut tight when all of his pitches either got clobbered or were balls.

Depends, actually. I've had wine tasters tell me water is bad, but that's mostly putting it in the wine glass to wash it out. That makes the next taste likely to be watery. Ideally, you'd rinse with your next wine, then taste....but most are too cheap to do that.

Have to think warning was a continuation of last night. Don't bark at Santana and neither warning happens.

[Squirrel]

Hoskin ... I really liked the mail bag idea! Not sure why it needed to be optioned back to AAA, but then it's not the first time I've wondered about who makes those decisions.

[Mike Sixel]

Are they going to go bases loaded, no outs, no runs?

I also liked it.

As did I.  Great and creative idea!

[amjgt]

Well... we are on pace to tie our 2-day-old hits record.

[drock2190]

Might be an early day for the Twins bullpen today too. 

 

Berrios is usually good for 1 hit batsman. With a warning already...

[Craig Arko]

You have the right to edit your post.

You have the right to speak with a bartender.

If you cannot afford a bartender, one will be appointed for you.

 

Do you understand these rights as explained?

A shot of whiskey works best, IMO.

I am 100% certain I do not need a bartender today!

[youngtwinsfan]

So, the question is now is there a big market for a player like Escobar? The way he has been batting of late do they keep plugging him in the lineup and hope to get some team to overpay with a near-ready minor league pitcher like the Giants did last year for Nunez? I understand SSS but if he can keep it up with Adrianza on the bench I think he could be a good sell high candidate.

What if you are the bartender?  Not you, but me.  Do I have the right to speak to myself?

[Mike Sixel]

I'd rather they just keep Escobar, than Adrianza, I think.

Hair of the Chief.

Yeah, you need a sommelier.

Technically, you only have the right to edit your posts for an hour (or less ... not exactly sure.) But I suppose you have the right to ask a moderator to edit your posts for you if you really, really, really need to.

You are supposed to use crackers....  Anyone who knows anything about wine knows this.

If you're not the sort of person who talks to themselves at least once in a while, then good luck getting past the Game Thread bouncer...
