Bad game all the way around. Go get em tomorrow.

Jake really battled there. 

Unfortunately he has been overmatched this season in the major league.

Hey where were you the other day? I purposely put a video from Corner Gas, hoping to draw you out...

Hmm, if I had to guess, something to do with baseball. 

Sorry I missed it, I love that show!

I want to know where that guy got the M&M's jacket, and if it comes in different colours. 

You only mention it because you wanted to show us that weird Canadian spelling of "colors."

I SO don't want to criticize Sano since he's literally the only one generating offence today, but you couldn't have done JUST ONE of those in any of your 7 at bats yesterday?

 

Even with hitting 2 homeruns this place still rags on him. The dude just can't win lol

It's a hoot, I must admit. My wife and I laugh like loons when we watch it.

Ugh. A frustrating loss, but aren't they all frustrating?

 

One of the biggest factors in the loss tonight in my opinion was the two errors by Adrianza - they lead to 3 unearned runs, costing us the game.

 

Correct

Yeah....I'm the weird one....

[jz7233]

Castro and Schoop really need to be sent to IL when Buxton, Astudillo and Gonzalez come back. Cave needs to be sent back to Rochester.

Point taken...

[mickeymental]

eight game lead at the midway point? fine by me.

It just highlights what's so frustrating about him. He can go 0/7 in a game we lose in 18, then grab 2 homers the next day in a game we also lose. Let's be clear: yesterday the offense on the whole failed the pitching staff. Today was a team effort. I just think a guy who can go 0/7 twice in a 10-day span has a LOT to work on and it isn't made up for with one good game, and I would totally trade him for a decent offer.

Berrios is no ace. He is what he is, Odor has settled back, Gibby is either good or bad. We'll have a hard time hanging on like this. The offense couldn't have stayed that hot for the season, so we need to win games like this. I think the fun part of the season is past.

I would prefer to trade Schoop first though. Schoop is the last person I want to see when RISP. Schoop and Castro should take a trip to IL list.

Yes, but could you get even a decent offer for Scope™?

Nobody's trading us anything for Schoop - he'd only leave this team as a "throw in", much like Logan Forsythe was when he came to the Twins last year. He doesn't have a contract and that's the issue. Essentially the Twins would have to give up more in order to move him. That said I'd be fine with arraez stealing his job and having Schoop in a backup role.
