Had to look it up: in 17 states the largest city is the capital.

That's cheating, I've been through Wyoming and they only have one city. If you don't fill up your tank in Nebraska you're going to have a long walk.

I don’t get it. Is Garver that horrible a receiver that he can’t beat out a guy hitting .125?

[ashbury]

Nice 2nd inning for my Adopt-A-Prospect adoptee Slegers.

 

And good to see Polanco continuing to rake.

[David HK]

 

Alright. I'm done. You can sit back down as far as i am concerned...

Oh! Sorry, I came late- only made it to one knee...

 

[Danchat]

Kepler got a cookie on that 3-1 count but he was taking... I feel like he could have hit that one out of the park if he would have swung the bat.

[yarnivek1972]

Polanco should be batting 3rd between the Eddies. He's been stinging the ball since he came off the DL.

 

Play Astudillo at catcher! He surely caught Slegers in Triple A.

 

This is common sense stuff, Molly.

Yes. Hitting him between the two coldest hitters perhaps in MLB renders any positives from his at bats moot.

[Aggies7]

Omg we’re winning

[kydoty]

Kepler’s diving catch was my high school career summed up in one play. The questionable route to the ball. The successful dive that would've been unnecessary had I took a good route to the ball in the first place. The feeling that I actually accomplished something, etc.

[ashbury]

Nice to get a gift now and then.

[operation mindcrime]

.120!

[curt1965]

Why do batters always look back to the pitchers after they make an out? It’s the damn pitcher’s fault?

[S.]

 

.120!

His batting average is half of his weight. That's good, right?

[Aggies7]

Someone pinch me

[ashbury]

Nice RBI single from our most reliable hitter, Rosario.

[VATwinsFan]

 

His batting average is half of his weight. That's good, right?

Or is it 1/3?

[ashbury]

I'm multitasking at the moment, but Bremer's call of Dozier's flyout to left made me look. Fool me a thousand times, shame on me - that's the saying, right?

Stop falling for the bremergasm

[Aggies7]

Marney should demand that her pizza ranch commercial be removed. It’s awful.

Isn't that a good thing in golf? Wait, I think I got it mixed up.

 

 

Anyways, good to see a solid inning for the hitters as Cashner is a guy they should be able to string a few runs against.

Slegers getting sent back to Rochester after the game? That's been the theme right? There's gotta be a 35 year old retread that the FO signed that they need to get "value" out of or show that they made a good signing, right?

[Danchat]

I wish they'd at least rotate the commercials once or twice a season. I wonder if companies realize that their atrocious commercials get worse when fans are seeing them for the 40th time in the season?

[Squirrel]

You heard the man! Line up!

Well, if they're going to get Romero back up, I'd be for that. But for whatever reason Belisle needs a roster spot all to himself. I think I'd rather have Tyler Kinley back on the roster rather than him.

Pizza ranch ftw

[ashbury]

Jake Cave makes a play at the wall without crashing into it. Are center fielders permitted to do that?

But we got a home run, some game earlier in the season, and I keep hoping.

And it would appear Slegers is as well.

[FlauerPauer]

If Jake Cave were still a Yankee, he'd probably be an all-star...
