My gosh, what's our swing and miss rate this game?

 

Holy cow...

Which is, oddly enough, the rough translation of this menacing Aztec bas relief...

Well, without the "Vasquez" part, yeah.

Holy cow...

 

Is this where I say "yes"?

[Mill1634]

So which reliever is getting sent out after tonights game?

[BattleYourTailOff]

Woofff. Looks more like the 2015-2016 twins offense the last few games.

[nicksaviking]

I’m missing the HR barrage. Those were the days.

Yes.

[USAFChief]

Mike Morin.

[drock2190]

I didn't know the Twins had Arraez. He needs to play over Schoop who's ice cold of late. 

[USAFChief]

Throw that pitch 8 more times.

[a-wan]

Throw that pitch 8 more times.

Doesn’t he need to CHANGE it up a little bit?

[USAFChief]

Of course it hits the foul pole.

[Aggies7]

Sigh

[70charger]

****.

From Baseball Reference:

"A platinum sombrero for five strikeouts or a titanium sombrero for six strikeouts may be awarded but they are much rarer than a golden sombrero."

We are entering into a world of exotic precious metals.

[USAFChief]

Awful pitch. Awful.

"Mister we could use a man like Joey Nathan again..."

I'm guessing that's not what you had in mind.

[a-wan]

Is Alex Burnett or Kevin Frederick available to pitch?

[nicksaviking]

Wouldn’t Littell be that natural long man? Is he only up in case the team happens to have a 15 inning game?

[Aggies7]

Is Alex Burnett or Kevin Frederick available to pitch?

Tony Fiore? Bob Wells?

[David HK]

Guess I'll go fill the rest of my grades into this antiquated system that I hate.

 

Probably more fulfilling than this game.

 

Making Boston bullpen guys with ERAs in the 6s and 7s look like world-beaters. Well, Twins-beaters anyway.

 

Really, with the BP that we have, somebody's gonna give up something. But they'd done a whale of a job tonight, above their expectation. It's the O that has let the team down tonight, and last night, too. Somebody posted about that earlier- it seems they don't know what do to if they don't hit dingers right now.

 

**Apparently somebody remembered how...**

The good news is that the run differential hasn’t been hurt too much lately despite the struggles

[LaBombo]

There's a pall hanging over the stadium as people slowly realize they're going to be tired all day at work tomorrow, but without the little kick that comes from thinking about the cool extra inning win.

Three outs left. Use them well.

Redemption time, Mr. Sano.
