Oh yeah...

Remind me... What is the 8k post supposed to be about?

 

 

Dragons, Butterscotch and what makes rain fall. 

[FLTwinsGuy]

Nova stinks...come on guys

[h2oface]

OK. Get Buxton home now!!

[VATwinsFan]

Beating themselves again? Interesting schedule.

Oops. I of course meant Gardenhire's Motown Masher's who had a perfect 0-10 record against Cleveland.

Complete game last outing against the Marlins.

[Riverbrian]

 

In their current 32-12 run Cleveland is 19-2 against KC and Cleveland and 13-10 against everyone else.

 

Yep

 

Now look at the KC side. 

[FLTwinsGuy]

Didnt look like it hit Kepler

[MVP Nick Punto]

Hmm, lucky to hit the batter?

[FLTwinsGuy]

I'll take it

[MVP Nick Punto]

Is this a 3 Stooges skit?

[operation mindcrime]

Hahahahahahahaha Thank you Moncada!

[MVP Nick Punto]

2 outs is a good time to get serious.

Poll:

 

Which play induces more laughter:

 

Buxton scoring from second on a wild pitch

 

or

 

Buxton scoring from second on a dropped popup?

[LVTwinsfan]

Kansas City is 13-17 over the their last 30 games.

 

During this stretch they are 2-9 against Cleveland.

 

That makes 11-8 against everyone else.

 

Is Kansas City the worst team in baseball right now?

yes

[tvagle]

 

Great diving play.

Right decision (They weren't getting a DP with Engel running and after a dive).

Terrible throw.

He made a great diving stop...decided to go for two...prepared his feet to throw that direction...was the sign to go home and that caused the worst thing he could have done...he THINKED...didn't reset feet rushed the throw

 

In the 2nd inning get an out and he would have...there is no time for a second thought in that situation and Schooper confused him

[MVP Nick Punto]

Well, I'm a lot happier with Aldo's pitch count, now.

[h2oface]

It's like a curse to get the bases loaded. Best to do anything you can to keep a base open.

I seriously can't decide. 

 

At gun point... I'll go with the dropped popup. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

One run isn’t awesome in that situation but it’s the White Sox. I suspect other opportunities will come.

Dropped pop up... play was already dead on the hit batter.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Sox have sure gotten that leadoff hitter on quite a bit the last 2 games..super annoying

[h2oface]

KC has sure been pesky against us. I think we are 6-3, but the run differential is slight.

[Blake]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, spoil things on a technicality.

[LVTwinsfan]

that kind of proves my point, thanks

[Riverbrian]

 

yes

 

Ok

 

I'll just say that it's a lot more complicated than they played a bunch of crappy teams. 

 

Everybody is capable of beating everybody on any given night and if a team goes on a run like the Indians, Giants and Cardinals are currently on... I'll tip my hat to them and I really don't want to work that hard trying to diminish their accomplishments. They are winning baseball games and I give each team full credit. 

 

I'll just say a month from now when you look at the hottest team in August... It'll probably be 3 teams other than the Indians, Giants and Cardinals.
