Berrios is still in the game after 2.5 hours, must be closing in on a CG, right?

[MMMordabito]

What do they call a group of crows, Bart? .... A murder

 

god this umpire is testing me.

That Sano doubter.

With Tom Seaver’s death, Steve Stone shared a good story on the Sox broadcast. Spring training of his rookie year and they’re facing the Cardinals. Bob Gibson throws a fastball right under Seaver’s chin, walks halfway to the plate and says, “Welcome to the big leagues, kid.” 

 

Gibson’s first time up, Seaver puts a fastball right under his chin, walks halfway to the plate and says, “It’s good to be here.”

Really, really good outing from Berrios

Thats a great story, these days warnings would be given, I guess the umps just have to be part of the story

[TwinsCD]

Well done tonite, Jose.

I did a quick Google search but couldn't locate an image of the benches-clearing brawl that ensued.

Problem with that explanation is that the radio waves necessary to transmit the news to you would be on their way to Neptune by now.
 

 

 

 

 

"We built this gamethread on rock and rollllll !"

 

Yeah, it doesn't really have anything to do with Sano's mass altering the physics of baseball, but what a catchy chorus...

[ashbury]

C'mon Eddie. I don't care if you take or swing, but please don't just eat out of the pitcher's hand like you've done so far tonight.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

I believe you'll need to look inward for that answer.

Spoken like a master of Ti Kwan Leep.

[Mill1634]

EDDIE. THE. STICK. 

[ashbury]

C'mon Eddie. I don't care if you take or swing, but please don't just eat out of the pitcher's hand like you've done so far tonight.

That'll suffice nicely. 'Kthxbye.

 

[LaBombo]

 

Well done tonite, Jose.

 

 

His start tonight really helped my fantasy baseball team that I don't actually have this year, but imagine having Jose on despite having to overpay for him, because why not.

Speaking of Gibson, Tim McCarver told a story when he was catching him. Gibson was having trouble throwing strikes so McCarver goes out to the mound. Gibson says, “What are you doing out here? You come out here to tell me about pitching? The only thing you know about pitching is that it’s hard to hit.” McCarver said he never made a mound visit again when Gibson was pitching.

Eddie the Stick.

I guess we made it out of a 6 game losing streak...

[TwinsCD]

Rosie back to his free swignin', homer hittin' ways.

And apparently Vin Scully joined Twitter today and already has more than 100,000 followers.

 

I’d consider joining just to follow him!

Nobody wants to hear about your fantasy fantasy team.

Not sure what you just said but this guy approves:

 

[FlauerPauer]

Rats. 

 

Is it time to bring up Lewis?

[LVTwinsfan]

We’re seeing some great defense in this series by two of the top teams in the AL Central

[SS MagicMark]

The Sox have some bats, but what a clown show in the field.

[howeda7]

Doesn't look good for Adrianza. Can it finally be Nick Gordon time?

[TwinsCD]

Lovely...another injury.  And Arraez did that on his foul ball swing 2 pitches prior to that hit.

Nick Gordon isn't even in St. Paul ... as far as I know

Everyone's kid's Little League team and softball team could have made these plays tonite.  And Buxton probably catches both the Cave dinger and the Rosie dinger.
