[USAFChief]

So Mrs Chief wanted a pet, and went and got us one of those Asian potbellied pigs.   I thought to myself..."why not?" and taught him karate.

 

We named him pork chop.

I expected a stronger throw from Kepler. But it worked out.

[snepp]

I can't handle Dick 'n Smalley, my ears hurt.

You actually did a pretty good job with the training (this was not from Twins After Dark).

How many meals did you get out of this investment?

[USAFChief]

safe, but hilariously bad slide.

[yarnivek1972]

Second base ump is 0 for 2.

[Riverbrian]

That's how I slide when trying not to slide

PIG: I'm not stupid... I know what that Smoker is for!!!

On asphalt.

Umpires looking a little shaky.

[TwinsCD]

Rough night for the 2B umpire....And how the hell can the home plate umpire call that pitch on Rosario for strike 3?  That particular pitch is NEVER a strike when it ends where it did in the catcher's glove.

[ashbury]

Classic Bremergasm on that fly just short of the warning track by Buxton.

In fairness, he squeezed Shields on a pitch or three elsewhere in the game. Fair but inconsistent? Or just fairly inconsistent?

My birds eye view says it was caught on the track. Edited August 30, 2017 by yarnivek1972

yes.

On asphalt.

 

And... And... Bathroom Tile, Garage Floors, Backyard and the stairs leading to the basement.

Could tell right away it was too high though.

[DrNeau]

Hope they don't yank him early.

I'm ready for Robo Ump

It looked to me like Buxton jumped too early on that fly at the wall. It seemed like the ball hit the wall below where his glove was. 

 

Did it look like that to you?

Yeah.  Mistimed it and was a bit to the side as well.  Made a decent effort on it though.

No. I think it hit above. It would have been a spectacular catch. 

[TwinsCD]

If you call Rosario out on a bender in that place, you have to ring up Smith on a fastball in the same spot.

[Puckett34]

That'll work Big Erv

[kusko_andy]

Why can't the White Sox just roll over and die like the irrelevant and forgotten team that they are.

FWIW, the Spanish announcer did the same thing. Apparently it looked very well hit from the announcers' box.

Might have been payback for robbing Shields of a strikeout earlier.
