Just got home from ball practice. Beautiful day.

 

How is romero looking?

 

What's up with no garver?

[wsnydes]

That's a good idea.

 

Should I go get the shaving cream or let her do it?

 

It seems to be her plan. I don't want to be too many cooks guy.

I think you better let her get it. If your wife is anything like mine, I'd buy the wrong brand or wrong scent and the whole thing would be ruined.

 

Pretty sure getting the wrong scent would be the end of the world.

 

Discretion is often the better part of valor.

Trying not to be negative, but... we have 3 automatic outs not including the pitcher hitting tonight in the lineup

I get that we're missing Byron, Castro, and Miguel, but Grossman, Adrianza, and Wilson wouldn't start for any other contender... Nick Gordon would be a great boost I think, maybe even LaMonte Wade 

Amen. 4 automatic outs, and why would they ever pitch to Rosario with GROSSMAN behind him

[BoofBonser]

Fernando Romero is MONEY
6 K's thru 2 and 2/3!

On Garver... If I were to guess. With an afternoon game tomorrow. No catcher was going to catch both games so Molitor probably decided that he wanted Garver to catch Odorizzi or wanted Garver to face Martinez. 

 

As for Romero... He looks fantastic... He looks like a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10. He looks like he is going to make it real hard to send him back down. 

[Nine of twelve]

Our pitchers don't strike out batters, that's just not who they are.

6 of the 8 St. Louis outs as I type this have been strikeouts.

And Robbie still managed to give St. Louis an extra base... luckily it didn't matter

Pretty sure she's asking you to shave your legs, RB.

[Riverbrian]

I know Escobar will cool down but I think Lavine should be on the phone with his agent and have serious talks about extension. 

 

I don't think they should wait and see here. The longer they wait... the more expensive he might be. 

 

I think it's time for the dice roll... Right Now. 

[Squirrel]

Would you rather the waiter did it and didn't tell you?

 

Or 

 

Would you rather the waiter didn't do it but told you that he did?

 

I’d rather give him no reason to do either.

[twinssouth]

These ESPN announcers are the friggen worlds worst. Romero kos 6 in3 innings and not one word. Geez their bush.

I like it! Reward solid play with solid pay.

That wasn’t my first thought, but okay.

[twinssouth]

Romero stuff is absolutely filthy. Kos a guy on a 93 mph slider. Unreal

[Mill1634]

Nice station to station baseball right there.

[Riverbrian]

Hey Look! Our Automatic Outs just produced a run. 

[BoofBonser]

Wow... Bobby tagged that one 
 

And I think I just heard Molly say "That's a homer in July"

[twinssouth]

Twinkles 3 zip. Wilson.

[Mill1634]

Great bunt to make sure the pitcher doesn't lead off next inning.

[BoofBonser]

 

Hey Look! Our Automatic Outs just produced a run. 

I knew it was going to happen 
(All part of the plan) 

[wsnydes]

Beautiful bunt!

[Riverbrian]

That isn't an option. 

[VATwinsFan]

Would a battery of Colon and Wilson be nicknamed "Two Tons of Fun"?

[Riverbrian]

 

That wasn’t my first thought, but okay.

 

Yeah

 

Decoration? Right? 

[Nine of twelve]

That wasn’t my first thought, but okay.

I shudder to think what your first thought could have been. Waaaaaay ish.

[Mill1634]

Wow. Romero easily has the best stuff on the staff.

[David HK]

I can only peek at the game in small bytes between class and stuff--  

 

but man, this kid!  He blazed that fastball at 'em the first go-round, now he's getting whimpy waves at the slider!  Good work young man, and Buddy Wilson, or whatever.

[BoofBonser]

 

Wow. Romero easily has the best stuff on the staff.

Agreed. Mixing that upper 90's fastball with a very tough slider. 
If he develops the changeup (maybe from a different Fernando on the team), holy crap

Romero bumps Lynn when Santana comes back if this keeps up?

Good question. when does Erv begin rehab? Romero looks good, but SSS. Also, Lynn looked better last time out. A decision doesn't have to be made for 3 more starts, I believe.
