@ashbury … if you are around, just letting you know, I just had a slice of thawed lamb torso

Delicious I'm sure.

In anticipation, and certainly not as jinx, of a Twins victory, Mrs Ash and I will be enjoying leftovers from the grilled chicken we had the other night.  And now... off to help prepare this sumptuous repast.

Coretes now @ 60 pitches thru 3 IP, keep making him throw.

I don't know if Polanco can hit like this all year, hopefully long enough until the next guy can.

He wouldn’t have to do it all it correa could do much of anything at all

Ryan getting some generous strike calls

I think the ump is just cold and wants the game to go faster

That really needs a fancy foreign-sounding name to sound the least bit appealing.

Edit to add:  The Google translation to French is "tranche de torse d'agneau décongelé."  Still sounds gross.

Was it topped with lamb torso?

Baseball Savant shows him only getting 1 called strike off the plate, and 1 borderline.

It was not.

The real question is what wine and/or dessert pastry you paired with it?

A sweet rosé

[Shaitan]

I haven't been paying attention. What's the pattern to the Vasquez/Jeffers rotation? R/L splits, certain pitchers, or seemingly random?

La torso de lamb

Nicely done!

That sounds better than what Google came up with (I edited my previous post), but I'm still voting for the pizza.

Seems to be cold over most of the country. It was 88 here Friday now 40s. Dry lip weather

Well, it’s what I would have if I had any

[stringer bell]

The hitters that inning looked like they had no chance to get a hit.

You get a A for the though, an incomplete for the follow through!

It’s chilly here. Why I’m likely to not try and go to a game next week. That and my work schedule is insane 

[Aggies7]

Too many hittable pitches on 0-2 counts from Ryan 

[Aggies7]

Oh dear 

[Squirrel]

Gallo would have he that

[Aggies7]

Hangers and bangers thus far from Joe 

[stringer bell]

Donnie Barrels (not) flashing the leather. 

[Squirrel]

Ugh

[Aggies7]

Need a roller quite badly 

[wsnydes]

Solano with his best bullfighter impression there.

[Aggies7]

Do they still do kangaroo courts in clubhouses? Ryan would be fined through the nose for these 0-2 pitches 

[stringer bell]

This has the look of a make-or-break inning. 

[Aggies7]

Be vetty vetty careful here, Joseph 

[Aggies7]

UGH times a million for the love of god solano
