[bighat]

Attaboy Adrianza.

 

Let's tie it up Mitch. Good time to break out of things here.

[Nine of twelve]

C'mon, Mitch. Be somebody!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Garver!

 

(just practicing)

[Danchat]

Garver is 0 for 15 against Duffy in his lifetime, why the heck is he hitting leadoff today?!

[USAFChief]

Run into one, Garver.

[bighat]

 

 

Duffy isn't soft tossing.

Can I revise to "mediocre lefty"?

[h2oface]

Consistent? Evens out? BS

[PDX Twin]

Are we really going to burn May in a lost cause? No one fresh in the BP for tomorrow?

[h2oface]

OK May. No gopher balls.

[bighat]

On the flip side, lots of people have accused the Twins of only using our mop-up guys when they're down. They've been burned before on that, too.

 

Using May right now says that we're trying to win this game.

Hey.... what? There are only like 15 pitchers. Someone has to pitch.

 

Whoops...... make that 16

[Nine of twelve]

Apparently Pizza Ranch's advertising budget only allows for the production of one bad TV spot per year.

[USAFChief]

Run into one, Garver.

Heh.

 

Or get dominated. Again.

Using May when Merrifield batted in the 4th would have said that we're trying to win this game.

[USAFChief]

nice throw bux

[Nine of twelve]

Safe. KC should have challenged.

[USAFChief]

must have came off the bag

 

Or did Polanco's throwing hand block the hand of the runner getting to the bag?

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Does that make you pres and me vice pres?

 

Or vice versa?

Of course, naturally.

[h2oface]

Exactly, Morneau! Stop reaching out to tag. Stay at the base and they have to slide into you. 

[USAFChief]

The Cards took 41 rental cars to Chicago?

[USAFChief]

probably got a pretty good upgrade on the last few.

[h2oface]

Hits off Alcala's fastball. Hits off his slider. 

[PDX Twin]

Alcala should neutralize some of the acid comments about the Twins' bullpen...

[h2oface]

COME ON, BOYS! WE NEED TO SWEEP TODAY! WE NEED TO SWEEP THE SERIES!

REVENGE!!!!

[Don Walcott]

Jorge hitting .417 leading off innings. Why not try him as our leadoff hitter?

[h2oface]

Don't let a guy with a man bun get you out!

[USAFChief]

Dick: why do we want Marwin to go the other way??

 

We're down 2.

[USAFChief]

Yeesh...

[Nine of twelve]

A gift from the Blue. The one behind the plate, that is.

[Aggies7]

I never want robot umps, but wow they’ve been brutal this year
