Who's this lefty we picked up? Throwing 94 on the black?

[Squirrel]

I don't remember either but I'm sure there is a place in Winona that makes the best doilies. 

Well, they don’t make them, but they do sell them ...

Nah... I'll keep watching. Was just hoping there was medication I could take. 

 

[Blake]

No matter the outcome, darn it, this is the way baseball should be. Tight game, 1-0, late in the game. 

[Danchat]

Odd how Morrison is the only one who's figured out Ohtani.

[drock2190]

3 weak hits. All the Twins could muster off that guy. He has quite the arsenal.

[jun]

Morrison is having a good game offensively, he is really taking good at bat against a very tough pitcher.

[USAFChief]

Logan Morrison sporting a .799 OPS for May coming into today.

 

Baby steps. That was a heck of a PA he just had against Otani.

[Riverbrian]

There ya go

[bighat]

Joe!

[bighat]

No beachball delays today. Just an interesting side note.

[OTPS300]

Left to fill a propane tank, heard the RBI hit by Mauer on the way home. Twins do better when I have gas.

[bighat]

Not sure about Rogers here, no need to push the envelope with a 2nd inning of work for him.

Against righties... the type of hitters that he struggles against? Does Molitor understand matchups?

[bighat]

Okay, enough Rogers. Get this guy outta here pronto.

[Danchat]

New baseball strategy: keep your best batter on the bench and pinch hit him whenever necessary in a big situation.

Exactly. Molitor is sleepwalking this game.

Twins are about to lose this game with Pressly pitching.

[bighat]

Good call ump, got it right. Nice 'K' Presser.

[Riverbrian]

Joe has been helpful

Really glad I was wrong!

[OTPS300]

Joe now with his defense. 

[Danchat]

Couldn't have asked for a better outing from Pressly there. Wowzers.

[bighat]

Unreal defensive gem by Mauer there!  He's played one fantastic inning.

[Aggies7]

Wow what a job

[USAFChief]

That was a really tough dig by Mauer there. In between hop, came up. 

 

And nice job Pressly.

[bighat]

Does Kepler's swing look weird to anyone else? It's like he's watching Morrison with that slice-style swing, not something Max usually does.

[USAFChief]

By the way, when Mrs Chief and I were at the club last night, watching the Hispanic comedian/magician, he did something I though was really cool. There was a table right behind us, with four visiting tourists, that had partially obstructed seats. There was an Englishman, a French lady, a Spaniard and his German girlfriend.

 

The guy on stage took the time to talk to them, and ask if they could see the show. 

 

"Yes."

"Oui"

"Si"

"Ja"

[USAFChief]

in play, run(s) please

[OTPS300]

Torii is what I would call a reverse barometer.
