Can JO go another?

[Don Walcott]

I think Berrios looks good tonight. Against a tough team, bad ump, and with poor defense behind him. He still can go 5.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

Max probably should not be playing either. 

Max is just fine,  

[ashbury]

I just opened a bottle. You're welcome to come over. 

 

That's gonna have to be one hell of an Uber ride...

How good a bottle? Might be worth it.

[Pius Jefferson]

 

3-2 in the 4th...…..are you serious?

 

You aren't......right?

 

Until they prove otherwise against New York damn right I'm worried. 

[wavedog]

Yes that was a strike they finally called - sit down and shut up

[Badsmerf]

12 pitch inning... and much cleaner... wish he'd had a couple more of those earlier.

 

To be fair... Not getting strikes called makes it tough.

[MMMordabito]

Yeah, the defense has been substandard for a good chunk of the season. Shouldn't be too surprising at this point.

Agree, but playing a healthy player at second base probably makes this a good defensive game so far. Sano has made some nice plays. Gonzalez has played those E5 caroms perfectly.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

(Shakes the man violently)

SHAKE OUT OF IT MAN!!!!

[twinsnorth49]

 

Finally got that low strike!

 

Wonder what made him change his mind? It's the same pitch he's called a ball like 8 times. Maybe he didn't blink this time.

Max is just fine,  

Based on...?

[bighat]

Its just 3-2. Don't panic yet folks.

[mrtwinsfan]

1 bad pitch to  encarcion, after he got lucky on a foul ball  h.r.  other wise  ok at best to me

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Game of inches. Schoop would have provided a slightly better throw, I'm convinced.

Agreed

[wsnydes]

How good a bottle? Might be worth it.

You make a good point.

 

I'm also partial to single malt highlands. That may also influence the decision.

[GCTF]

Homer Simpson taught me not to say anything unless I'm completely sure everyone around me agrees.

 

So...

 

**** the Yankees.

[twinsnorth49]

All in all, if Cron picks that ball, it's 2-1 Twins and Berrios is in a good spot. 

[mrtwinsfan]

if rocco pinch hits for arraez ??????????

[Craig Arko]

Dear Bob, I'd love to hear more about everything Yankees. I think underwear style and colour is the only thing you've missed.

They’re wearing fishnets.

[howeda7]

What are you swinging at? 

[mrtwinsfan]

Should of 4 Cron  My god

[twinsnorth49]

They have to stop swinging at that ****. Come on already. 

[Vanimal46]

Ugh... Quit pressing boys. Non competitive pitch.

[bighat]

How do you swing at that, Cron?

[Badsmerf]

Finger me with the Yankees bullpen Bob! Yaaassss!

[wavedog]

Good Grief Cron!

[D. Hocking]

 

I hope something unfortunate happens to Bob Costas very soon.

 

I am listening to Gladden right now, somehow I suspect he would feel the same way.  I don't see them going on a bike trip together.

[wsnydes]

Agree, but playing a healthy player at second base probably makes this a good defensive game so far. Sano has made some nice plays. Gonzalez has played those E5 caroms perfectly.

Don't really disagree, but my point is that this isn't exactly a defensive stalwart even with fully healthy players.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Make him throw strikes Luis

[tvagle]

Can't believe Cron

 

Loosen your collar dude...save the choking for the World Series
