Lomo loves taking that looping curve and grounding into the shift.

 

Every time.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Fuzzy feelings are overrated. I already had chicken for dinner today, so we have to win.

 

and as we speak, Lance Lynn is pulling fuzz out of his navel in the shower, so things are coming together

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Bottom half of the order looks like the 2016 twins.

Define "bottom"

 

Last three guys? Last four? Last five?

[Aggies7]

Define "bottom"

 

Last three guys? Last four? Last five?

Define “something that comes out of a bottom” and you might be more accurate

[Mill1634]

Define "bottom"

Last three guys? Last four? Last five?

6 (could make a case for 5) through 9

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

6 (could make a case for 5) through 9

sorry, snark was overflowing

[gocgo]

Didn't Haningcurver pitch last night and give up dinger to Ohtani?  Why are we bringing him back?  The man needs rest...in AAA.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Holy cow, I hope Buxton makes at least one spectacular catch this series

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

In July, at Coors, with fences moved in, that ball is a home run

[USAFChief]

Define "bottom"

 

Last three guys? Last four? Last five?

this is why I always chuckle when people post that "So and so is just fine as the 25th man," or the like.

 

Everyone matters. You throw in an injury or two, a slump or two, and suddenly you have lineups like this.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Molly, mangin'

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Hey wait--- can Molly grab a bat and pinch hit?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hey everybody. Molitor called for Duke to pitch to a tough lefty.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

And found a hole in Ohtani's swing

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

This might be my last inning. Don't know if I can suffer through the 5-9 hitters one more time. Good to know Kep is available if needed

[David HK]

I switched over to watch rugby in the 5th- missed that bases-loaded walk.

 

The sun is shining somewhere-  just not on the Twinks today.

 

Still 1 more crack---  but getting into the automatic out portion of the lineup... 

 

Come on, Eddie, hit a lead-off 2-run homer!

[snepp]

Come on, Eddie, hit a lead-off 2-run homer!

 

He tried!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Heh.

 

Cut Rosario!

 

Someday, I wish people would realize their stupid hot takes are stupid.

 

And I say this as a person who was never particularly high on Rosario.

[LaBombo]

So if the Twins have played barely a fifth of the season, and have used 15 relief pitchers so far, they're on pace to use about 75, correct?

[Danchat]

Well, we still have a game here. Just gotta hit Morrison in here...

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yay, short bench!

[USAFChief]

I was told there'd be no math.

[snepp]

We got a game here!!

[Danchat]

Heck yeah! Garver with the game trying hit!

[mickeymental]

crazy as hell.

[LaBombo]

 

I was told there'd be no math.

 

Don't think of it as a story problem, think of it as acerbic observation sprinkled with semi-random numbers.

[USAFChief]

wut?

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Experience is coming.

[David HK]

I am going to ride the 30-foot wave of the FRE right now.

[jokin]

What ever happened to Jim (Clark Kent) Johnson?
