Good pitching always beats good hitting. Therefore good pitching should always be a priority.

Never mind.

Just curious, what is the opposite of “boom stick”?

I suspect we'll eat up the BP after portabella leaves the game. Hopefully...

I'm pretty sure the Sox fans are thinking the exact same thing about our BP. Unfortunately, I think they have more reason to hope.

doom stink?

Porcello might not leave the game until it ends.

 

He might not leave after that. 

[Danchat]

Whoa... I didn't realize Berrios has had 5 no-hit innings since the 1st inning started with 3 hits. Wow.

 

Boy, Porcello sure doesn't look like a 4.69 ERA guy with 9.5 hits per 9 innings.

This, times a million in the postseason. Different sport, but the ‘98 vikings keep coming to mind wth this team

Did you attempt to post this in 1968 and it just made it through the severs in 2019?

Lol it so does though. Absurdly talented offense covering for a below average defense. Let’s hope they don’t run into Chris chandler and Jamal Anderson

I actually pondered this for longer than I should have. 

 

All I could come up with was... "Depression Tree". 

 

Coming up with an opposite for stick in that sense was hard.

Let's run out the clock on him.

He was due for a positive market correction, and I'm guessing the Twins offense was due for a negative one.

I was going to type Cruz miss-le, but he doubled earlier

Loved that Vikings Rotation!!!

I guess the Like I gave this post is open to interpretation...

It’s funny though, in the end it was their offensive miscues that cost them the championship game.

I've heard this said often and I believe it but I can't help but wonder each time... Is it Good Pitching or Bad Hitting. Or was it Good Hitting or Bad Pitching? 

 

[bighat]

Eddie's just not squaring it up like he did in April and May. Finishes the season with 26 HR maybe?

 

I can't remember the last time I saw him hit a double.

This agression will not stand!

 

I mean... this single first inning run will not stand.

John Randle had one hell of a splitter. 

 

Split a couple of QB's that year.

Yes...

 

Maybe?

[Aggies7]

That’s been a strike all night, but it’s not really a strike

[bighat]

Now would be a good time for a big hit, Miguel.

[bighat]

Awful strike 1 call there on Sano.

You are clearly copying me now... Working that hard to come up with nothing... just like I did.

they quit throwing to Moss too iirc

[Aggies7]

they quit throwing to Moss too iirc

Two Cunningham fumbles, and also a kneel down with like a minute left in regulation

 

Oh, and the kick.
