Took the train to and from, last night. Beautiful experience. 30 minutes station to station. Was in bed an hour after last pitch.

 

You took the train? Just like Butch Cassidy. 

[stringer bell]

But he gave it back.

Donde esta las bombas?

[Riverbrian]

That Camera Shot of the Boston Bullpen with 17 relievers sitting in it. For some reason, reminded me off my high school days. Driving around with 10 of my friends in the Reliant K. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Eovaldi was supposed to be on a low pitch count. We haven't done a good job of making him throw pitches or we could have probably had him out after 3 or 4.

The Twins must be reading your posts in the dugout

[John Kelsey]

Why do I feel like Cron and Schoop are both about to strike out?

[PDX Twin]

Bases loaded and no outs. They have us right where they want us.

[LVTwinsfan]

Cron missed his pitch

[ashbury]

fielding out of order?

It's possible for the catcher to be responsible for a balk, so maybe there's a first time for a center fielder confusing the baserunner and getting the call.

[LVTwinsfan]

Pfft

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

ah nuts

I like the outfield shift explanation

[ashbury]

If Butch had thought to sign up for the Senior discount, he wouldn't have needed to take such extreme measures.

[yarnivek1972]

Perez’s pitch count is great, but I don’t think there is any chance he makes it through the lineup a third time unscathed.

I don't know... You haven't had a chance to get your prescription re-filled?

I found a gif of both teams scoring on a home run here.

 

That’s all I got.

 

[ashbury]

Cron makes the tough plays look difficult.

Pesky Betts

This homage to the Pesky Pole needs and deserves more likes.

[LVTwinsfan]

Could have gotten a call there

[LVTwinsfan]

Lots of pitches that inning, 10, I think

[ScrapTheNickname]

Kepler grounded out.

Arraez stings the ball?

 

[VATwinsFan]

Could not have asked for much more from Perez.

 

Is putting him out there in the 6th living dangerously?

[yarnivek1972]

The two teams are a combined 1 for 28 on balls in play.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Arraez might be the most intense hitter in the box I’ve ever seen

[ScrapTheNickname]

If Araez only had enough plate appearances he'd be in the running for ROY. Darn it.

I’d have someone warming for Betts but he should be able to face the 8 and 9 hitters.

One of these years I'm going to dig through archives and see if I can figure out on which side of the Revolutionary War my ancestors fought. Based on the essential conservatism of my father and me, I'd guess the British.

 

During the time of the revolutionary war.

 

My Ancestors were in Prussia, involved in the serious knock down drag out debate with other Prussians over the necessity of the "P". 

 

My other Ancestors were in the Lillehammer area of Norway. Training for the fish slapping competition. 

 

[LVTwinsfan]

Pesky pole homer , probably a foul ball anywhere else

[David HK]

 

Time to hammer the stake into Cleveland's heart and drink adult beverages from their jewel encrusted skulls.

 

Is that a bit harsh?

Only if you drink adult bev's out of one skull, and use another one to hold your nachos.
