What would it take to permanently trade Bert for Kaat?

I could listen to Kaat every game.  Excellent.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

My vote is a hypocritical yes. Anyone asking me to work 162 days a year when (if) I’m 80 is going to get an earful.

Bert doesn’t do half the games anymore.

[USAFChief]

 

Bert doesn’t do half the games anymore.

He does about half a game every time he's there.

Wow  nice game

[ashbury]

Wow  nice game

It's great to be able to win that kind of game when it's called for.

[ashbury]

They were actually a pleasure to listen to this series.

Except for Remy's grating accent.

 

(But, concur, on your actual point.)

[ashbury]

Hard to believe the heroes of the game are: Perez, Rosario and Astudillo. 

Concur. You left out Cave.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

He does about half a game every time he's there.

equivalent of 120 hours a year, tops

[Blake]

 

Concur. You left out Cave.

I just checked, I don't think so....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I hope we win.

As expected.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Aw...

 

I need to watch it again at some point, but i am pretty sure a scene change follows the line "Hey inigo, i hope we win."

And the next line is a something like "You don't seem to excited, my little pet."

[DocBauer]

Yes.

 

But except for a horrible recent start, Perez has looked an awful lately like the quality SP he was early in the season. Cave has been looking like the guy we saw last season. Healthy, Astudillo is a BALLPLAYER, and Eddie is...Eddie. Wow!

[MVP Nick Punto]

Let's sweep Cleveland and get it down to 10!!!!!!!!

Doesn't magic number count our wins and their losses, thus we reduce the number by 2 for every time we beat Cleveland?

[MVP Nick Punto]

Cron kinda is a high GDP threat.

A threat to the entire U.s. GDP, or just Minnesota's GDP?

[MVP Nick Punto]

Lots of runs needed for Twins tonight

Please post this every game

[AlwaysinModeration]

Devers still hasn’t touched home plate.

 

Astudillo’s at bat, when he took the third pitch, it occurred to me that his plan (or instructions) were to take pitches until he got two strikes on him, knowing that he can always get a bat on the ball. It’s an approach that I wish Eddie would use sometimes as well—they’d both get a bunch of walks, and ultimately, more pitches to hit. Great AB, and great game-winning hit!

Indians fans seen crying after that...

Can confirm. An Indians friend of mine messaged me after the game with: 

 

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR YOU TO LOSE A F-ING GAME :crying-emoji:

Let them know they can do something about it this weekend!

 

The a game is afoot, Watson 2nd.
