h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Fulmer is a mess. Great pick up. A good throw by Gordon and we would have not given Fulmer so many chances to not come through. At least it was only one run with the DP.
IndianaTwin Verified Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 For El Jucho, see No. 4: https://sfbayca.com/2018/08/16/hits-and-misses-for-giants-players-weekend-nicknames/ “A Dominican slang that appears to have no direct translation in English. It describes a person who is aware of everyone and everything around them at all times and pays close attention to details.” Mainly, I think it means, “six runs in 5.2 innings.”
Richie the Rally Goat Community Moderator Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 4 hours ago, PDX Twin said: For the team with bleached stockings from Chicago, Johnny Cueto makes the start. This has been the 36-year-old’s first season in the American League after 14 with the Reds and Giants. He brings in a 3.15 ERA and a 7-9 record in 22 starts (23 total games). MLB.com says that his nickname is “El Jucho,” for which Google Translate provides no clues. Can any Spanish-speakers on the site help with this? Or is it something unprintable in English? Johnny “The Juice” Cueto
PDX Twin Verified Member Posted September 29, 2022 Author Posted September 29, 2022 This game is certainly NOT running on adrenaline!
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Miranda doesn't stand and watch his hit.... he is off! As he should be. Good for him.

RpR Verified Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Billy Hamilton steals a base and scores a run.

h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Is 4 runs enough for Lopez?
stringer bell Verified Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Arraez' 2-5 leaves him .0001 behind Judge.

Unless one of the guys below them goes completely nuts in the few remaining games, it's down to these two. If Arraez could have just found a way to hit about 55 more homers, he'd be running away with the batting crown. So unfair.
ashbury Verified Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 According to mlb.com, we're in the middle of the 9th with the Twins leading 8-4.
RpR Verified Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Actually a pretty good game, style of baseball that should have been played a lot more often.

ashbury Verified Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Just now, stringer bell said: Tomorrow sets up as a battle for second place in the riveting Central Division race. /s/ I'm going to be pissed if the White Sox draft ahead of us because they found a way to tank the final couple of weeks after falling out of contention.
stringer bell Verified Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 BTW, going into tonight's game, Arraez' OBP in the second half was .309, his OPS was .691 with a BA of .277. His overall numbers are still good, but not All-Star good.
RpR Verified Member Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 I hope the Twins sweep the series but we are going to Detroit and Detroit is doing real well right now. If they can win 5 of the last seven they will actually manage a .500 season

Do you want the short version or the short shorts version? Some people got injured. New folk came up. We lost more than Cleveland.
