There have been many games these last number of years where I wish such a thing existed.

not to mention this one:

I try to remember always that this kind of game -- huge inning for runs, shut-down pitching, good D -- doesn't happen every day. So enjoy it, realizing these same two lineups could meet a day later and the reverse could happen. That's baseball.

Perish the thought!

I hope the Twins break out of this scoring drought soon, like the next inning.

Save the runs for tomorrow!

Let's put up 60.  Even up the run differential, so the wins actually count.

If the term "pythag" means anything to you, it would seem they've been doing that to excess all season. If not, suffice to say it's time to bring their runs scored in line with their W-L record.

I wouldn't be upset if Dozier's recent BB binge became a habit.

[ashbury]

 

Carnac: "SABR."

Ed: Saber? Like one of those swords they juggle with?

Carnac: SABR. Just like it sounds.

Ed: Sabre? The travel software company?
Carnac: Now you're just getting obscure. SABR.

Ed: OK, got it. I have no idea what it means, but got it.

Carnac: As expected.

Ed: I don't get that either. Must be a meme or something. Whatever those are.

Carnac: Precisely. May the fleas of a thousand memes infest your web browser.

Ed: Sounds painful. Maybe we should just move on to the opening of the hermetically sealed envelope.

Carnac: "What do you use to cut down a stat nerd?"
Ed: Hey! I was right the first time!

Now there's a crack on my screen where I hit it with a hammer.

And Ron didn't even flinch.

 

edit:  he's been hit harder than that.

 

bah-dum-tschh

I was starting to worry, what with the team stuck on 9 runs.

I see we share the same math skills.

[GCTF]

The pace of the game needs to pick up or Bartolo is going to miss his afternoon nap.

math??

 

That's a "word seek."

I think Colon took care of that during the first inning.

[USAFChief]

I wouldn't mind seeing JD Martinez in a Twins uni next year.

And Ron didn't even flinch.

Ron could cure cancer and I'd have a hard time letting the past go.

Was there a sighting of him in the dugout during the inning? Probably out cold in the clubhouse.

[ashbury]

"Paging Dr. Chief. Paging Dr Chief. We need emergency instructions to Bartolo Colon, stat. kthanks."

[GCTF]

OK, that's quite enough.

[USAFChief]

Keep the ball in front of the outfielders, Bartolo.  kthanks.

[h2oface]

Colon made to ruin the party..... 

[Blake]

I could have listened to MacPhail another inning. That was fun.

c'mon Garbay, hustle
