Good job Pablo. That was going to be tough after the lead off walk.

[wabene]

Pablo is punching the clock today

[cHawk]

Great work by Lopez.

[HokieRif]

Plouffe needs a full-time job with the broadcast team.

I would prefer Trevor over LaTroy, big time.

[stringer bell]

99 pitches. Shohei has been all that was promised.

Yeah, I like him too. Note my moniker photo.

If you ever want to start an argument or even a fight in a bar, just say you weren't a fan of vin skully.  It's like insulting  somebody's mom.

Who’s that?

[stringer bell]

It looks like Willi got a late start on that short fly. That is a couple where he hasn't gotten a good jump.

[wabene]

Gotta stick up for La Troy here, sometimes less is more and there are some good quiet times when he's working. 

That being said I've always complained about Morneau, and his incessant chatter, but he has improved and I've like him this year. Yeah Plouffe is good. 

[Squirrel]

I don’t mind Hawkins, but I don’t necessarily want him the bulk of the time, either. I think Morneau has been really good. I’ve liked Perk and Plouffe quite a lot and hope to see/hear more of them

You don’t know who somebody’s mom is? 🤣

Lopez with a nice bounce back after a long first inning

[stringer bell]

Given the bullpen usage yesterday, I wonder if they try Lopez for the seventh.

He was a Dodger employee, who hung around way too long.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Solid game, which I have been following in and out. What a treat to see a guy like Ohtani in our time. I am declaring the road trip a success (lower case ‘s’ success). Of course, a win today and 3-3 record will look a lot better than 2-4.

[rwilfong86]

Farmer with a nice single. Let's get a rally going

Lol, I know who he was .,, probably just as bad to say ‘Who’s that?’ in a Dodgers bar

Somebody from the X-Files, I think.

Honestly, I like all of the guys for a limited time. Bert Blyleven wore on me after all the years he did analysis and I think any of the guys doing color would do the same after a while.

I knew you knew.  LOL

[Squirrel]

It’s amazing to find, that once you start really cleaning out closets … and I mean completely emptying them … just how much junk you can accumulate and forget you own and then get rid of

[stringer bell]

Stay hot Willi!

Variety is the spice of life!

[tony&rodney]

Anyone else notice how shallow opponents outfielders play versus the Twins outfielders?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Ten bucks says he walks on the next pitch lol
