[stringer bell]

If it's garbage time, Vazquez and Correa could use it to make some good swings.

I'm impressed with Taylor. He ran his shoulder into the padded wall making that catch and doesn't look like he'll spend the next three months on the IL.

Hmmm !!

[mrtwinsfan]

Thats twice this game   Homerun  then 3  strikeouts, 

[stringer bell]

I'm sick of a lot of commercials on the broadcasts, but I chuckle every time I see the BMW spot with Buxton, Albies, Buehler and Cortes. 

[Robert Floren]

Taylor and Buxton provide speed on the bases too.  

[rwilfong86]

I'll be ecstatic when Perez is no longer playing

Thank goodness Correa’s glove isn’t in the toilet because he has been abysmal with the bat. Stealing money at this point. But he had a hot June and September last year so we shouldn’t criticize

It would be no surprise to see that happen this season as well.

[stringer bell]

Hung a breaking ball. 

[Nine of twelve]

Just thought of something...is there any provision in the batter clock/pitch clock rule for the catcher calling time out?

[Parfigliano]

Im in NM and I had a better chance to catch that then Larnach

[CoastiePilot08]

Weird but ok. Still 4-run lead. 

[CoastiePilot08]

I think Lopez would like it to be 10-15 degrees warmer.

It counts as a disengagement for the pitcher. 

[rwilfong86]

Defense has been less than stellar today.

As has been the starting pitching.

I was surprised  Rocco didnt pull him after 6.

Rocco knew he’d get hammered on TD if he did it.

Just. looked at Taylor's double. I don't know if I've ever seen that big of a brain cramp by that good of a player (Perez).

Pretty sure the brain cramp was on the SS…nobody was covering 2nd. I wouldn’t think Taylor would attempt that if he or the base coach didn’t see that the base was uncovered. Could be wrong since I’ve only seen the replay as well.

[CoastiePilot08]

Come on now. 

[rwilfong86]

The defensive miscues have turned directly into KC runs today. KC shouldn't even be in this game.

[jkcarew]

Funny thing happened on the way to the route.

[CoastiePilot08]

No more runs allowed please. 

[h2oface]

Is 2 outs more important than a run? Is 1 out more important than a run scored?

Never in my book.

Taylor had no idea, 1st base coach was being coy, telling taylor to go,  Good acting !!!

[9moons27]

Has Jax had a clean inning all year?

[h2oface]

Lopez contract drunk. 4 games and he was anointed - all of 4.

[rwilfong86]

Hopefully Jorge Lopez in the 8th and Duran for the 9th
