Can Morneau and Perkins go on any more about Miranda's play at first base?

At the game, surrounded by Bosox fans. Luis’s HR quieted them down a bit!

Thanks for the photo.

 

Yeah, i know a thing or two* about Boston fans...

 

 

 

 

 

*Maybe 3 if i think hard.

Are we out of the game at 5-2 in the 5th? I hope this team has more moxy than that.

We had the tying run at the plate in the bottom of the 4th!

One might say the bats are putting us out of the game, tonight (so far).

No.

 

But Moxie is a New England beverage. Is it available in Minnesota?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So is Bogaerts their version of Nick Gordon?

[USAFChief]

Moran is simply not prepared to pitch in the major leagues. 

 

 

[Sutter50]

Explain please

 Please is a word one uses so as not to appear rude.

There aren't many days left in the minor seasons, is there? 

 

Maybe he can pitch unprepared?

is not this better?

We would also accept the phrase "if you please"

Minor League Baseball announced that the Triple-A baseball season will expand to 150 games in 2022, six more than the previous 144. It will be the longest minor league season since 1964.

Usually seems like that is the case with our minor league relievers, they can put up great numbers then get demolished. Cano stunk even worse and now he's getting trashed in BAL's AAA system. Seems like the best bet is failed starters becoming good MLB relievers, like we've seen Duran and Jax pan out this year.

Perhaps....but then there is also this:

Alright...

Someone besides Arraez try knocking in runs.

 

He shouldn't have a monopoly.

Thanks!

 

I think i saw that at some point. I just haven't paid adequate attention in... i don't know how long. I must have missed that.

 

That probably also is why September callups are down to 2 players? (i think i heard that too)

In case any of you missed it, this wonderful story aired yesterday on All Things Considered:

I would have been one of those still there at 4am probably (unless my wife had gone with me).

I watched the Pedro Munoz walk off in the August ‘93 21 1/2 inning marathon. I was in huge trouble with my parents when I got home!

Racking up the k's per usual, the stuff is good just gotta dial it in. Could happen

[AceWrigley]

Moran auditioning for Archer's starting slot??

[LVTwinsfan]

Chuck and duck

[Mortimerkenny21]

They pulled LaRussa from managing duties due to health conditions after the last loss. Poor guy probably not fit for duty anymore. Doctors advised him not to manage.

How does he not get a triple on that, he must have admired it for a while

[wabene]

Will Dalbeck trade his golden sombrero for platnum? 

[mrtwinsfan]

Niky

[AceWrigley]

Nick Gordon, Red Sox killer.

Yep he sure did 

[nicksaviking]

Dang, would have been on third if he wasn't watching, but he got the team within one run so, it was a better outcome than I expected.

[USAFChief]

Nice double. 

Terrible try for a triple. You're the tying run, Nick.

[AceWrigley]

Alex Verdugo, Nick Gordon killer.

[Azviking101]

Day off tomorrow, bullpen pretty rested, and Rocco sends guaranteed mess of an inning Megill in after going 23 pitches yesterday. Rocco is a computer on the fritz. 

[kydoty]

Ugh, just as I thought.  Gordon followed up a great play with a stupid one by not running it out.  Should’ve easily made it to 3rd base had he hustled out of the box.
