Yup 100 loss seasons are to thrilling.

They are good for a laugh, and none of those guys are a core to a really good team.  We know what they can do, and it's not good enough.

I have been bettered.

But learned something new.

The rookies to this point are not even close to that good and the only one at AAA that is doing quite well is Cave .

Darn tootin'

If i win, i wanna say i deserved to win!

 

Taking the high road, and getting to Scotland first!

[RickOShea]

Bremer's losing his sight and hearing.  He continually calls medium fly balls to the outfield, as being long, high drives.  Balls hit to the warning track are called as medium fly mediums.  He mis -hears the crack of the bat, as well.  He's not trying to mislead the audience, he just needs some attention to his physical well-being.

[RpR]

Gordon is either cementing his position with the Twins, or as high class trade bait.

Atrip down memory lane: " Anyone got some Aqua Velva?"  " No but but I gotta take a dump if that will help".

I think it's been like this for several years now...

Great job by Cotton

Honestly ... the crowd is just as bad ... I've learned to kind of ignore Bremer, but when I hear the crowd get excited from the other room, and I rush in to see, and it's nothing more than stand fly out, I think ... like announcer, like home crowd

Good point !

[RpR]

BOY, that Urshela sure was a bad trade.?

[Squirrel]

Okay ... humming a tune right now... 'ABC ... easy as 1, 2, 3 ... '

[notoriousgod71]

What's the point of pinch running for urshela here not representing the tying run?

[RickOShea]

You replace your best defensive third baseman, who has decent speed, with a guy who has slightly better speed.   So, the hell with ninth inning defense?   Urshela, would also be sitting on third.

[RickOShea]

The more moves rocco makes to try and out think the opposition, the more chances for mistakes.  Leave Urshela alone.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

There is a rumbling on the bases...

[RickOShea]

Safety squeeze, anyone?

 

[RickOShea]

Nah, let's see a high cheese strikeout.

[PDX Twin]

Predictable. 2-3 with no outs, the pitcher wants a K, and Buxton complies. Worst guy to have up there in that situation with his current approach at the plate.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Half way there...

[Squirrel]

Closing in ... chip, chip, chip

Sounds like my golf game, which often featured three chips in a row.

I don't play golf so I have no idea what this means ... heh  

[h2oface]

Time for another Kepler dinger!

 

Man, that was a horrible at bat. A horrible first pitch called high strike not in the strike zone, A called strike in the low part of the zone, and a horrible swinging strike in the dirt.
