Last day of Mary Lucia....so sad. Also, I might have to stop giving MPR money, she's not the first to leave with these comments.....

Good stuff to end the 4th

I don't know.  Not sure that its possible have too many ugly hats, women's shoes and Rick Astley!

[2wins87]

Huh, very surprising to me that Whit Merrifield is 33 and Benintendi is only 27.

Both broke into the majors in 2016.  Didn't realize the age difference was so big.

Shoutout to Nick Gordon, nice work!!

Eh ... it is possible to have too many women's shoes ... I would know ... which is why I pared way back to 50-60 prs

Edit: ninja'd.  That's what I get for typing "Yup!" I guess.

Why be verbose when prolixity and loquaciousness beckon?

That's embarrassing.

 

[AceWrigley]

So . . . is Nick Gordon our best player right now?

[RickOShea]

I even wonder if Rocco even knew what happened.

[Muppet]

OK. Ryan has pitched 4 innings. Is it time to bring in Duffy? 

[wsnydes]

The Royals scouting for this series couldn't be more perfect.  The amount of balls hit right at guys this series is remarkable.

Ooo, another TD headline game?  I'll play.

"No."

He is having a good game, throws an accurate but short throw, is this not how they are expected to play?

[RickOShea]

Baldelli leans over to Wes Johnson.  "Remind me to give Gordon tomorrow night off".

[LVTwinsfan]

Who is Rocco going to bring in first to try for the blown save today?

[umterp23]

Correa with some large paycheck outs so far this year.  Overall team not hitting the ball well.  Gordon, nice surprise.  Joe Ryan looks very good as a young arm for the Twins for years to come or when they decide to not pay him.

That must've been very difficult for you Imelda!

**Rocco breathes**

Twins fans:

 

[Tibs]

I like Joe Ryan

[bighat]

I'd be very shocked if the Twins manage to win this game. It's just awful, nobody wants to step up.

 

[RpR]

Twins are fielding very well today, if they can't hit, at least they are doing the basics well.

[LVTwinsfan]

Twins are schooling the Royals on the bases for a change

[wsnydes]

Gotta keep running their Witt.  Take your chances.

But, I'll take it!

Witless move there.

Hello everyone. Sorry I'm late. Seems like Ryan is doing ok?

I want Gordon in left when Buxton is back in center. let's see what happens. Send down Larnach to get consistent at bats.

sorry for the serious post, this thread has been a great throwback in terms of humor!

I concur.  I also want him hitting leadoff in front of Buxton, or at the very least, hitting 9th in front of Buxton.
