Game Thread: Royals (Cox) v Twins (Ryan), 7/3 @ 7:10 pm CT

[OvertheHill]

Regardless of how you feel about Keplers caught looking (or not) I just don’t trust too many of these guys guessing on pitches while watching the most hittable pitch like Farmer just did on pitch no. 1. “Working the count” just not a good strategy for this team this year. 3 innings, 4 K’s. 

[OvertheHill]

MVP!

Never mind 

[wabene]

I see Vasquez didn't go the right way down the hall, stopped at room 220 and next is apparently heading to Mrs Mendoza's room

[IndyTwinsFan]

How did that happen?  Probably from not paying attention. 

[CRF]

Castro taking a quick nap off 1st base...nice!

[rwilfong86]

Castro has to keep running there

[mrtwinsfan]

Willi.   keep going.  ???????

Definitely.  Need to force the opponent to make a play there.

Dick: "Kepler hitting lefties as well as righties...that's not saying much, granted. "

He'll have to sit in the corner after the game for that one.

[wabene]

Correa 3 for 3, heating up baby! 

[RickOShea]

Bremer better hope they don't increase the age of eligibility for social security.

[wabene]

Robo ump let's go

You always point that out, and I always get it wrong 😑 

[jkcarew]

Rocco usually pinch hits here in the 2nd inning!

That’s how much he hates Julien’s glove.

Don't feel bad, I get the same from Mrs Chief a couple times a day, minimum. 

[mnfireman]

Buxton having some tough luck again tonight: xBA of .670, .490 & .490 on his 3 PA's tonight, only 2SF and a force-out to show for them.

Wherefore art thou, Rocco?

[wabene]

Welp at least the humanoid ump is consistent

And 2 RBI

Ryan using the off-speed to set up the fastball. The kid makes adjustments.

I concur with Dick.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Buxton with two Sac Flys tonight, which makes him one away from Joey Gallo’s career three Sacrifice Flies.

and the game isn’t over yet!

[OvertheHill]

C’mon big inning!

Think next year will be his Goodbye tour.  Like to see Provos get a shot
