I’m a fan of Brady Singer. Kid’s got a good head on his shoulders. Except today I’d like to see a few more earned runs. 

 

Can't find the video but Dobnak did this too. (I'm using my clunky Kindle for TD and streaming the game on my phone)

Can’t go wrong with the patty melt. Or the original Whataburger. Get the spicy ketchup! 

Ended up settling on a southern bacon double whataburger (the new untested variety... i guess i like being a guinea pig)

 

I got one of each ketchup, so as not to miss anything.

 

I do like shoe strings! Both fries and catches.

I should know better than to check into a game thread while hungry...

100%. It’s only available for breakfast ? but I had my fair share of those sandwiches during my days in Austin. 

If the signage is right, i can get it again at 11pm.

 

Currently leaving Fredricksburg and wending my way into Austin.

 

Got friends who are busy, and when they got time for me, i'll be there (then to Houston for the night)

If I knew you were heading on 290 to Austin, I would have recommended Pieous in Dripping Springs. Best pastrami sandwich in the south!

Not much luck this inning for Ober. The Twins, on balance, have had pretty good fortune on batted balls this season. 

[stringer bell]

One run shouldn’t be too much to overcome, but so far the baseball gods are favoring the Royals today.

Seriously, you guys are killing me!

This assistant NCCAA coach couldn't be anymore arrogant. Must not be from the midwest.  

[wsnydes]

Cardinals put up only 18 runs on the Pirates this afternoon.

Much different game so far in KC.

[stringer bell]

Gar-ree does not have good speed. 

[mrtwinsfan]

How would you feel if ya drove down to .KC , AND PAID TO SEE THIS lINEUP ?

[stringer bell]

Sánchez has been pretty good lately, but I’d trade him in a heartbeat for Melendez. 

[stringer bell]

Nice play be Miranda. 

[Vanimal46]

Okay! Keep justifying your existence on the MLB roster, Miranda. Nice play! 

[Vanimal46]

Albert Pujols hits 2 HRs today and slowly creeping up to 700 career HRs.

Used and unappreciated

Ober is pitching a nice game, and it looks like he's done now, but I hope not getting some runs for him in that 1st inning doesn't come back to haunt us. We need to get the "B" team on the board somehow. 

[Parfigliano]

I dont understand going with Plan B lineup against KC best pitcher.  Understand resting guys but why all at once and 99% of time on Sunday.

It's what the Ghost of Gardy would've wanted

[bighat]

Nice hit by Arraez, okay now looks like the time to even up the ballgame.

Good one!

[Doctor Gast]

I can see resting Buxton but also Urshela, Jeffers and Correa, I'd think Ober would need all the support he can get coming off rehab.  And if they wanted to give Correa a rest so soon after his return (which I concur) why did they send down Lewis so soon? They have left themselves very vunerable.

[IndianaTwin]

Vanimal, I’m heading to Texas next week to re-check Texas off the stadium list. Food recommendations in the Dallas-Austin-San Antonio corridor? We’re calling it the Take a Tums Tour, so I’m looking for BBQ and chili. 

[bighat]

 

Robot umps now.

[bighat]

Just a sac fly here Kep, just fly out to center buddy.

Kepler. Uffda.

 

That'd normally be Correa's spot...

 

But $35m per doesn't get you 4 games in a row.

[Vanimal46]

Needed to get something out of that rally. Disappointing. 

[bighat]

Unforgiveable hitting today with the bases loaded and less than 2 outs for the Twins. Not good baseball.
