How did I know that Milner would come in against this specific spot in the batting order. 

I must be a lucky guesser. 

I'm going to guess that I am 5 foot 9. 

I'll find a ruler and measure. 

Let's see if I'm right. 

I am right

5 foot 9

That also explains my occasional struggles against my 3 year old son in basketball.

Could have left Larnach to strike-out....

This AB for Royce just looks primed for hanging slider to go out to left field in the upper deck

You have a ruler that can measure over 5 feet?

Must be a he'll of a big junk drawer you keep it in.

[RickOShea]

Ohhhhh, Mr Kepler is upset.  He's mad that he can't figure out how to adjust.

@SwainZag, did we ever find that groan emoji?

My wife measured me and she rules the household. 

[CRF]

That "F" Bomb by Kep after hitting into the DP...was the most emotion I've ever seen him show.

Ober gets thru 6.  9 outs to go, who we going to see?  Either way a couple insurance runs would be delightful. 

Maybe Stewart, Lopez, and Duran?

1/1 so far....

[RickOShea]

is it me, or does it seem that most home plate umpires use the 'choo choo" hand movement, when calling a third strike?

[USAFChief]

I'm not sure I trust it yet, but Stewart has been a real godsend for this pen, no matter what happens going forward.

Ah... Come on now. 

My wife measures everything. Hair length, Eyebrow Length, arm length, Snore Decibels.

Then she posts the data on Facebook Market Place trying to find someone who will buy me. 

3 People showed up last week. I had to hide. I'm not going for that price.

More like Carl Willis than, say, Joe Smith?

It's always good to know one's true value!

[wsnydes]

Lovin' it!

[mrtwinsfan]

And todays Winner , Stewart

[stringer bell]

So much for seventh inning struggles.

I'm kind of the Max Kepler of husbands and my wife is the Thad Lavine of whatever she is. 

No Value so she keeps rostering me. 

[SwainZag]

Good Grief, Brock Stewert!

[Danchat]

So, we ready for Pagan to defend another 2 run lead in the 8th?

🤪

[stringer bell]

Probably Jax for the eighth.

FTR, I strongly distrusted Joe Smith's 1 month of pixie dust DP ball magic.

Stewart has some stuff to back up his run.

[stringer bell]

Vázquez had about a four-game streak when he was hitting the ball hard. It seems to have played out.

I was trying to come up with a setup guy/middle reliever who had sustained success for the Twins. There haven't been many.
