[NumberThree]

Tastes a lot better too!

I always thought so. Really not a fan of ham.

 

Except for Chief. He’s a good ham.

Grill the lamb up on the Big Green Egg with a touch of hickory or pecan wood chunks and you can't go wrong.

[Blake]

Okay, triple away from the cycle for Cruz.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Now there are options. you can trot Perez out there til his arm falls off, or give him the quick hook and go to Mejia for the bulk of the innings to prep for Wednesday

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

A couple more degrees in launch angle, and that would have been another one for Eddie

[Yawn Gardenhose]

Like hearing Kitty Kaat....the opposite of Morris in that he can wax poetic about his playing days without sounding resentful about how much the game is different today.

Ah, but alas ... no big family gathering tomorrow for me ... I’ll be making myself a juicy lamb burger instead.

[Blake]

Is this game to the point where the Twins won't be aggressive on the basepaths?

[ashbury]

Lamb is traditional for Passover

Didn't know that, even though some of my bes-... never mind. When in a hole, stop digging.

Very nice zip code-like number developing on the scoreboard here.

Somewhere in the vicinity of Valdosta GA, currently.

So this morning I was doing some research on balls hit 108mph or greater by the Twins. It seems like the team has improved the rate at which they have been hitting these this year. (In addition to adding three guys who do it a lot...Cruz, Cron, and Schoop). Buxton’s rate is up, as is Garver’s and Kepler’s. Interestingly, Rosario does not do it very much (although we’ll have to check on today’s hits...)

 

This offense is legit.

[AlwaysinModeration]

By the way, the Orioles fans are now doing the Bronx cheer for every Twin out.

[ashbury]

Except for Chief. He’s a good ham.

Good egg too.

apparently it depends on where you are from

Unreal!

[Blake]

Holy moly.

[twinssporto]

I like Schoop too.  

[ashbury]

SCHOOP !!!!

[Mill1634]

SCHOOP!!!

 

Love that he gets to homer in front of this crowd.

[Blake]

BP pitching by Baltimore.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Put the kids to bed and checked At Bat to see if the game was worth watching.

 

LOL

Center of gravity now has shifted 30 miles east to Du Pont GA, maybe.

[Blake]

Hard to believe Baltimore gave the Yankees all they could handle.

Cruz has a double, single and a home run. I'm going to stick around to see if he can hit for the cycle. Rosario has a chance, too.

[ashbury]

Bert: "Zip code game"

TD: "Way ahead a ya, buddy"

[twinssporto]

We really do have a dangerous lineup.  These guys look like they can crush everything.  If our pitching was better I'd be giddy.

 

 

[IndianaTwin]

 

 

Winnah! Winnah! Chicken! DInnah!

 

Don't take too big of a helping. You're going to want seconds.

Game two is shaping up to deserve a main course like this:

Don't take too big of a helping. You're going to want seconds. 

 

The rule when playing double headers is lamb for the second game not chicken.  

 

[Blake]

Okay, Twins, need to answer that. Baltimore is mounting a comeback!
