Sooo close, Mitch. Do it again next time.

Disagree.  Hit it further instead.

It's the famous picture of the first ever black hole:

I thought this was.

Yes, but, if he puts the same swing on the same ball, a couple millimeters of distance on where it contacted the bat could change that inning significantly in our favor, so I'd like him to swing at the same ball the same way he just did.

The seats are hard-wired to the speaker system and come with headphones. Plus, the seats are actually potty chairs in order to cut down on the running to the bathrooms. Oh, and Wally the Beer Guy hands out GAS-X with each brewski. Other than that its pretty much the same as the rest of the seating.

Why am I just now hearing about this?

Sano's grounded out in his last 3 ABs - worked the last 0-2 count to 3-2 before the groundout. We should find that encouraging, he's making contact, no snark.

[Jham]

Somehow this is the first time I've gone to a game by myself...

[Jham]

I feel like the creepy guy from the Perkins commercials...

How do we know you're not the creepy guy from the Perkins commercials????

Cool man - I was kinda thinking about doing that. I don't live in the cities but I visit my family there a few times per year. I often consider hitting up a game solo but haven't pulled the trigger. Seems like fun to be honest, how's it going?

Definitely.  Those 3 groundouts have been much more helpful to our offensive output than if he had struck out 3 times.

Dan Gladden: "Ball hit to the outfield, Jack Cave with the catch."

It's great. way relaxing. way cheaper. Makes me wanna get an AM Walkman, a taped together pair of rca headphones, a scorecard, and a golf pencil.

My shorts aren't quite that tight.

[VATwinsFan]

10 in a row by Perez.

 

That's more like it.

[MVP Nick Punto]

All right, Perez has picked it up the last 3 innings, and is arguably one catchable ball being caught away from 5 shutout innings. Time for the offense to pick it up for him.

I also understand that many of you probably have no idea what I'm talking about...

But how do we know??

[70charger]

I used to go to games alone from time to time back when I lived several blocks from Target Field and the team was terrible. If it was good weather, you could usually grab a nice seat for $10, and get some nice atmosphere and a very occasional win for not much money.

 

Also, I somehow feel compelled to add that it isn't creepy at all.

I'm sure it's not creepy when most people do it, but I'm not sure I'd trust that to be the case for members of this board. Especially someone who's been around here as long as you and thus probably has a lot of Chief rubbed off on him...

[Jham]

But how do we know??

I have been known to throw down on some hot Tremendous 12 action...

[Jham]

Well I'm in the left field bleachers. lots of room. I'll buy a beer for the first person (of appropriate age) to come find me and talk baseball. Wait... NOW I feel creepy...

I wouldn't still be around this board if chief had ever tried to rub me.

 

Just sayin'.

Winner?

[bighat]

Nice outing by Perez.

[Aggies7]

Good job by Perez

[MNT1996]

This is the Perez that we have the potential to have. Just needs to stay consistent.

[Blake]

Wow, might Perez go 7 innings?

 

Be nice if the Twins got the May version of Perez back.

[mrtwinsfan]

Good job by Perez

[Jham]

I know the rays are better than the Red Sox, but is still feel better if these 2 series outcomes reversed...
