By not being taller?

Not letting a foul ball fall foul, he landed outside the base line when he jumped for it, he should have known enough to let it go.

Just as bad a move as Celestino's.

[RpR]

If Wallner learns to field, he is big./tall enough to be another Judge.

[mnfireman]

And Wallner picks up Celestino's slack....

No dying until after we win the world series.

Santa Claus told me — this was way back in 1979, but I distinctly remember it— but anyway, Santa told me that he wasn’t shaving his beard until the Vikings won a Super Bowl. Then he did that creepy Santa ho-ho-ho laugh and said “Merry Christmas, kid.” 

Just thought I’d share…..

I thought that last out of the third was a three run bomb but I guess the wind dragged it back into play. Good thing.

[SanoMustGo]

I thought I was going overboard when I said they might only win 3 or 4 more games. I’m afraid I’m going to be right.

Gotta love the soggy doggy smell! We got that a lot in Portland, but are in the empty kennel phase right now.

Wallner did his best Cuddyer impression there by tracking down a liner in the gap that you don't expect a middle line backer with a glove on his hand to go and get.

You don't understand the rules, do you?

Palacios now 5 for 47 with zero extra hits, just 2 walks and 18 K's.

Is it possible to bring up Austin Martin from AA for Palacios just to give him a bit of MLB experience?

We had a little league game once. One of our batters early in the game pulled a deep fly ball that was well foul. (Well, a “deep fly ball” relatively speaking.) 

Pulled it in the air, but definitely foul, into the trees or parking lot or something. 

The home plate umpire, probably just a kid not out of high school, signaled “Fair ball” 

lol gonna be one of those nights, we all thought.

But that would make sense,,

He jumped for it from fair ball line and touched it, therefore fair ball , if he had let it go, foul ball, you do not understand the rules do you.

[LaBombo]

In the batter's box León looks like a centaur with a normal dude upper half and a Kirby Puckett lower half.

This is not a AAA or AA training day, that would be obtuse, that is what sprint training is for, especially if he turns out to be no better than Palacios aor Contreras.

It would also be an insult to the fans, but then then the Yankees were not much more than a AAA team when they beat the Twins.

Who was that dude who used to do game threads years ago that RB would get to do photoshop stuff? We need him for this one.

I will see if I can find the highlight, but I remember it being well inside the bag.  It wasn't a line drive, it was a  chopper.

This team is already an insult. I could care less if they win games now. Bring him up, this team can’t play any worse.

I am a fan, and I wouldn't feel insulted.

Another GIDP.

At least we're good at something.

Urshela pulled away from MIranda in double plays, now separated by two again.
