It’s a game again!

Fangraphs article today about the Yankees pitchers said this guy was due some regression, glad we can help him out with that.

Only 18 more innings to navigate this series. 

Math?

Nice shot by Polanco but I still miss the Home Run Bugaloo back when Cruz and Sano got homers.

Yeah, Taillon is a good, solid MLB starter. He's not as good as his 2022 season has been.

[Aggies7]

Second bad pickoff throw of the day. Bizarre

[stringer bell]

This is a tough way to compete. They have been behind since the second hitter in the game, so seemingly climbing uphill the whole time. I'd love to see them tie the score or take the lead this inning.

Sanchez has been up in some very high leverage spots. Many opportunities to get revenge.

 

please do, Gary

[Aggies7]

I’m waiting for Gary to just pulverize one

I'd definitely put Buxton on the IL and try to get him healthy. I'm comfortable with Celestino in center and an injured Buxton just hasn't provided enough value at DH to justify the Twins strategy.

I think at this point a 10 day IL visit for Buxton and a recall for Kirilloff is justified. Celestino could play CF, Kirilloff could play 1B and Arraez could DH. I don't think Kirilloff would be any less of an option than Buxton right now.

[Aggies7]

Not even sure how he got a piece of that one 

[h2oface]

Why can't our guys get revenge against their old team? It happens to us all the time!

[RpR]

Big at bat for larnach

[stringer bell]

Probably the right choice to stay at second for Kepler. 

[Aggies7]

Just realized it’s still only the 5th. Going for 10pm here on the east coast

[h2oface]

Is Baldelli gonna continue to throw AAA/AAAA pitchers? Or do we get........ yikes...... Theilbar?

[stringer bell]

This is a lefty that Larnach should be able to handle. Well, he made contact anyway.

[h2oface]

Another chance for revenge. Urshella!!!!

Nope. It only works for the guys we trade or get rid of.

[Aggies7]

All these missed opportunities. Not good 

[MMMordabito]

That was a missed ****in' opportunity.

[stringer bell]

Opportunity missed. Too bad. I guess you don't use your best BP arms down a run. I do think Thielbar is better than that ERA.

[Vanimal46]

I clearly know nothing. Cano is doing great

Rocco’s rules: cannot use prime relievers close and late when losing.

I said the same about minaya

[Aggies7]

That’s a strike. Cmon

[USAFChief]

Donaldson can be on my team any day.

[LVTwinsfan]

Bremer thinks he’s a ball player  

[Aggies7]

Can Rocco get himself run here? This umpire is brutal
