That looked like a swing in real time. 

[Aggies7]

That was a Bert blyleven cookie if I’ve ever seen one 

[Mill1634]

Nothing like PH a guy with a .606 OPS for a guy with a .630 OPS

[Danchat]

Would be nice to have Royce Lewis in the lineup in a time like this... over the struggling rookie who everyone said would be in AAA by this point... and now we're resorting to PH'ing Gordon with his .600 OPS. Prove me wrong!

[Aggies7]

Might as well pack it in if you don’t score here

Much faster, harder to double up

[MadHits]

C'MON NICK!!!

[Mill1634]

Worth noting that Alex Kiriloff has 2 XBH for St Paul tonight. Homered earlier, and now hit a double. 

[USAFChief]

I hate this offense.

[stringer bell]

Oh man. 

[Mill1634]

Yeah, that went about as expected. Nick Gordon is NOT a good hitter. 

[Aggies7]

PUT A BALL IN PLAY YOU BUMS

Good to see that.  Hopefully that means he's getting used to the new wrist.

[stringer bell]

Snap!

[MadHits]

LOLOL WTF 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

How do they not score?!

Happy now that Kepler did? ?

[USAFChief]

And I ask again...how does Sanchez not score on a single to left center? 

[Mill1634]

Unbelievable. Bases loaded and you K, K, and hit a 4 hopper to the 1st basemen. 

[wsnydes]

Two games in a row now.  Key spot late in a game with the bases loaded and no outs.  And they get nothing.  This is not just a bullpen issue.

[Aggies7]

That’s absolutely embarrassing 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Ump's strike zone got ridiculous in the 8th.....

[Mike Sixel]

Inconceivable.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

[MadHits]

Shoulda ran Nick for Gary

He held up to make sure the ball was going to fall in.

He's not a good rapper either!!!!!

[Mill1634]

Seriously, what are we doing? We gave this way by refusing to pull Duffey, and then again by rostering a "fan favorite" who isn't a good baseball player because we're worried about the 1.1 SS being unable to adjust to 2nd or 3rd base. Just pathetic by the front office and by Rocco.
