Now that's an at bat.

[BoofBonser]

Garvsauce!

[Mill1634]

MITCH!!!!!

 

He should be in the lineup everyday

[Shaitan]

 

I agree. Gibson's new nickname is "Bulldog".

 

Yeah, I would never trade an affordable arm prior to their walk year, unless it's for ransom.

[Nine of twelve]

Nice shot by Garver!

[Fritzderkat]

Anybody notice how Escobar's bat has cooled off since all the trade talk started. You don't suppose he's telling folks he'd rather stay here, is ?rather stay here, would he? 

Naah.

 

(While I'm off-topic here, Garver parks his fourth of the year and makes another case for playing time.)

I feel like it's cooled off since he was hit in the elbow.

[Han Joelo]

In case anyone cares, I'm replacing a garbage disposal while listening to the smooth stylings of the Orioles broadcast team.  I need to hurry and get the hard parts done before the Twins potentially blow this.  I want the new disposal to work; I don't want to have replace all the plumbing under my sink.

 

And yes, there is a metaphor for the Twins season in all of this somewhere.

Point taken.

[yarnivek1972]

Please tell me someone is warming up. Like Rogers maybe.

[yarnivek1972]

Odorizzi has thrown 8 straight out of the zone. Some have been swung at, but still

10 in a row. Way to finish strong. The guy is worthless after 80 pitches. That seriously needs to be his cut off.

EDIT  Machado is a Hitting Machine...would look good at SS next year $40M/year for 4 years??

[yarnivek1972]

I’m not sure any of those were strikes either. Maybe the second one.

You mean $40 mil per year, right?

 

It will be closer to that than $10 mil per.

Excellent use of the anti-jinx!

[Nine of twelve]

Morrison should have done that his first game this year.

[notoriousgod71]

Lomo not respecting the game as he bunts to defeat the shift.

[Monkeypaws]

LoMo beats the shift with a sweet bunt - if there gonna be an unwritten rule retaliation for that, up 4-0 in a meaningless minnow game?

[Blake]

That bunt hit by Morrison was a thing of beauty.

 

Good job, sir!

I'm now pointing and laughing at you. 

 

Either that, or, it was a brilliant anti-jinx.

[Nine of twelve]

OK boys, let's string some more hits together. We don't want a save situation come the top of the 9th.

[Nine of twelve]

I expect that to be scored FC, E-6, no RBI, but the catcher could probably have kept his foot on the plate and still caught it.

[tvagle]

Looks like the Cubs from earlier this week...single...single...single...single

 

Keep the Line Moving

[mrmpls]

Belisle time ?

[Circus Boy]

Good job by the Caveman.
