70 pitches........ that's enough, right Ehire!

[Squirrel]

C’mon, Perez!

[Riverbrian]

 

Well, that was a full-fledged jinx right there, wasn’t it. My bad.

 

Yeah we need to post some Jinx guidelines for better guidance... The Playoffs are coming. 

[Don Walcott]

Perez has a way of making 0-2 counts turn into 3-2 counts.

[h2oface]

 

I saw that pitch as on the inside corner, but maybe I fooled myself into not being relentlessly negative all the time.

 

The one he hit was - middle vertically inside power lane..... it was a couple pitches back (second pitch to Cuthbert) that the right down the middle swing and miss happened. Typing delay.

Now, watch, the playoffs will get canceled.

Would posting jinx guidelines create some sort of jinx paradox? That would probably be bad.

You are right... it would. 

 

There isn't an easy answer to this problem. 

[IndianaTwin]

Let's be optimistic. Extra innings would give more bomba possibilities. Martin is being a team player.

“That’s bad.”

[big dog]

Bomba!

[Don Walcott]

Castro!!

 

Was about to say he was due, but I didn’t want to jinx it.

[Riverbrian]

CASTRO!!!

What about the Twinkies?

[h2oface]

Yankees have 15 outs left, now one behind.............

[Riverbrian]

 

Castro!!

Talk with Big Dog... Give him a hand would ya. 

[big dog]

What about the Twinkies?

Nicely done

[IndianaTwin]

Only Gladden could come up with the idea of someone who "gave himself a big high-five" as he rounded first. Apparently he clapped his hands together? 

[Nine of twelve]

Tres bombas.

[big dog]

What about the Twinkies?

That would be a big Twinkie.

[big dog]

Castro!!

He was due like that library book I have from 1986.

We are currently dependent on Lance Lynn to shut down the Yankees and prevent any more HRs from being hit.

That plan is so crazy it might actually work

[Blake]

 

I have two wishes today. 

 

Health for all our players. 

 

And Home Runs... Lots of Home Runs and even more Home Runs after that. 

How about these home runs?

 

[h2oface]

Now through 4.5 innings, the Rangers with Lance Lynn (now at 71 pitches and 8 Ks) on the mound..... 12 outs left for the Yankees. A one homer lead for the Twins.... MORE BOMBAS!!!!

Delicious irony, or something.  Mostly unrelated, but last night I was flipping through Gameday, happened to notice Luke Bard was pitching (to the Astros,) and by the time I could confirm it was indeed Luke, and not Daniel, or William S., he had managed to give up a three-run homer.

 

So, by that sampling of ex-Twins preventing potential playoff opponents from hitting homers, I have little faith in Lance.

[big dog]

If Perez were a Batman villain he would be The Nibbler.

From what I can tell, Lynn is having a very good season.

[Don Walcott]

He’s had one helluva year. Hope he finishes strong.

[Riverbrian]

I'm currently in Middle River, Minnesota. Just completed my Fantasy Hockey Draft. 

 

We got the Vikings on TV... I have the Twins and Yankees on Game Cast and every time a deer walks by the window... I lose internet connection for some reason.
