Does anyone still call it a 'duffle bag'.  Sorry for going old school.

Seems to be really hard for Miranda.  Why would anyone throw him anything but fastball up out out of zone on 0-2 or 1-2 count

[mrtwinsfan]

Miranda,  How is it ? that yo keep swinging at the same pitch above ur shoulders,  they all watch there at bats as soon as they hit the Dugout,   Slow or No  learning  ??

Sounds like the start of a viral hip-hap-hop sensation like all the young folks listen to on the AM radio these days.

12  pitch a.b.   rocco ?

[RickOShea]

I don't understand why first basemen don't step on a runner's hand on pick-off attempts.

[Nine of twelve]

Nice!!!

[RickOShea]

Thank god for 7'9" Joey Gallo.

Same reason sharks don't bite lawyers.  Professional Courtesy.

Do the Sox actually have a team ERA over 6? If so, the fact that we've struggled to score runs against them is even more frustrating.

Too bad we don't face the whole team's pitching staff, each game.

[stringer bell]

.4999 swing by Kepler.

With enough offense, there's a chance they could!

Just under.  You might be thinking of the incredibly sad Oakland A's, at nearly 8.

[ashbury]

Bremer's doing his best to jinx the Twins bullpen for 3 innings with talk of 6 consecutive wins for Ryan.

Nows a good time for the bullpen to be lights out again 

[RickOShea]

Here we go.  I guess Ryan's lost it.  Now the procession of relievers who are bound to cough up a few runs and a hair ball.

[RickOShea]

Ahem.

[rwilfong86]

Meh.
