Well putting Arraez in work well.

Is Dane’s Dairy still there? I’d figure it was a Menards by now. Kalona. They have good pickles there too. 

Still there. Does nature have a more perfect food than a Dane’s chocolate cone? I’ll be partaking within 48 hours.

And Golden Delight donuts? So, I was told that one of the locals went to the doc and complained of this insatiable urge to drive there every day (but Sunday, of course). Doc says, “I know what’s going on. You’re suffering from the Kalonavirus.”

Urshela is tring to hit gopher balls.

My mom constantly made a rhubarb custard meringue. She is an awesome cook, second-best in the world, actually,* but I just couldn’t dig it. Got me soured on all things rhubarb.

Then this lady at church made a rhubarb crisp. Oh my, was I so wrong.

 

*My wife has taken Mom’s pumpkin pie recipe to a whole new level. Sorry, what’s been happening in the game? I lost all focus while thinking about the pie.

Apparently this was a thing pre-game?

Man, Oakland's stadium really is in rough shape.

Possums are good critters. Hope it was to catch and release

But he's a defensive stalwart

A little more whipped cream, but yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Actually, “pumpkin” is a misnomer. Mom used squash, and I’ve convinced Mrs. IT to do the same. I’ve no idea why we’ve never called it “squash pie” — there’s not a lick of pumpkin in it. 

[Danchat]

Cano's stuff looks good, and his command has been fine as well. I'm liking his chances of improving our pen this year.

[Mill1634]

GARY! GARY! GARY!

So?

[Squirrel]

Gone. No doubt on that

[SwainZag]

That thing was crushed

[MadHits]

Wooooo!

[IndianaTwin]

Attendance at 3,138. If even 32 balls make the stands, you’ve got more than a 1 percent chance. Yeesh.

So?

Defense is way more important according to your many posts in that regard

My view has zip to do with Urshela's batting.

Your point is?

[Buffy the Twins Fan]

Wow Cano looks legit

[Buffy the Twins Fan]

Also Sanchez's pitch framing is looking sharper and sharper every game

[USAFChief]

Just wanted to check in with another vote for strawberry rhubarb pie. 

The kind occasionally baked by Mrs Chief, when I have managed to stay out of the doghouse for a significant length of time.

To. Die. For.

 

...

 

 

And rare. Very rare.

[big dog]

I'm grooving on Cano. Looks like a real pitcher. And how did we ever steal this Sanchez guy from the Yankees?

[USAFChief]

Unhook the plow, Gio.

[Parfigliano]

Took away a run there

[MadHits]

damn Gio might be slower than Donaldson

[wabene]

Lewis fired that one

That he could hit .000 and still have significant value on defense.  According to you defense is more important. When Lewis hit his grand salami your focus was on his 9th inning error and how he needs to go back down. That's my point

[USAFChief]

Jax gets the 8th, Duran the 9th. Easy peasy.

Which has nothing to do with this game and Urshela's swinging at gopher balls.

[Mill1634]

This ump has not been good. So inconsistent around the corners of the plate.

[Buffy the Twins Fan]

anyone have predictions on how bundy will do tomorrow?
