Maybe Buxton could be armed with a cattle prod.

 

Then again, Sano will already be in the dugout after trotting off his homeruns.

Heh... or waving helplessly at a slider...

[Nine of twelve]

Let's see some more crookedness.

[MNT1996]

Just as he planned

[Nine of twelve]

Mauer catches that.

[operation mindcrime]

Another looking strikeout!!! Astudillo's calling a good game so far!!!

[USAFChief]

Cue "Looks like a line drive in the box score" line.

[USAFChief]

 

Cron catches that.

ftfy

[David HK]

What's the ol' Vaudeville line?  

 

'The food here is terrible.'

'Yes, and such small portions.'

 

We're having a great season so far- but jeepers creepers, what's our BA now with the bases loaded?

 

Other clubs it's a moment of tension and excitement- right now, it's time to go get that next beer.

 

...urrrrp... 

[stringer bell]

Just about every player has had a period of time where they didn't look good at the plate, but it really hasn't slowed the team production. Right now, it is Schoop. Let's hope he gets on track soon.

But how else do you prepare figgy pudding flambé?

Is there chicken in that?

Cory Provus: ... "The Mariners... with maybe the worst defense in the American League..."

 

Seattle defense: "Hold my beer(s)!"... <clunk. >

 

Cory Provus:  "... if not all of Major League Baseball."

The value of a deep lineup, something we have observed from the Yankees a time or twenty.

[operation mindcrime]

Good eye CROM!!!!!!

Yeah, come to think of it, there was that teachable decade of playoff futility under Gardenhire's management...

[Mill1634]

Fantastic base running by Jorge. I was 100% confidence this Mariners defense would find a way to screw that up, and boy was I right. 

[MNT1996]

Polanco should've been out there

[operation mindcrime]

Way to go Astudillo!!!!

[Mill1634]

Kepler!!!!! Great to see him hitting the ball off the lefty!

[Nine of twelve]

Love the crookedosity!

[operation mindcrime]

Nice hit Max!!!!!

[twinssporto]

Throw Eddie into the lineup tonight and Cruz and this team gets even scarier.

[USAFChief]

 

Kepler!!!!! Great to see him hitting the ball off the lefty!

2 out RBI. Nothin' better.

[LaBombo]

Knock knock.

 

Who's there?

 

Astudillo.

 

Astudillo who?

 

Astudillo is smaller than a one-bedroom. Barely.

[twinssporto]

NO WAY SANO SWUNG THERE.  Horrible call

[Mill1634]

 

2 out RBI. Nothin' better.

I can think of a lot of things better, but sure 

[stringer bell]

Adrianza and Kepler starting today? I guess that kind of has worked out so far!

 

Good night, game threaders, bring a W home.

[Nine of twelve]

 

Knock knock.

 

Who's there?

 

Astudillo.

 

Astudillo who?

That was Chief-worthy.

[Danchat]

No Garver, no Cruz, no Rosario in the lineup? No problem! I love this lineup!

[bighat]

Ugh, Sano and that check swing at balls in the dirt....

 

Heckuva inning. Perez let's go 1-2-3.
