Bremer, after Suarez moonshot:  'Back goes Gallo, but...'

Goes back with what?  A jet pack?  An Iron Man suit?

he needed this sort of launch angle 

[ashbury]

Come on Wallner!

Do the Mariners have a HR snorkel for the home run hitters to parade around in?

They should throw fish at eachother 

[gunnarthor]

Seriously, we load the bases, I go away for a few minutes and we're down 7-3?

Should have posted that earlier!

My sources in the clubhouse sure took their sweet time bringing us that tidbit, didn't they?

Boys, we're not playing the Oakland Freaking Athletics tonight, so be ready.

Playing at Seattle, a split would certainly be acceptable. It looks like today's game is going in the dumper and that's disappointing because they had a 2-0 lead and had done a good job against a good pitcher 

I hope Rocco gives Buxton one of the next days off, maybe two.

Well that was quick, anyway.

[Aggies7]

Good grief, a leadoff HBP usually rattles the pitcher, not the offense

Seriously, am I missing something about him? Why aren't the Twins giving him at-bats?

I'd go for 2 months off.  He provides nothing.

[Danchat]

We have to get Buxton and Kepler out of the lineup, at least in the short term. They're costing us too much with their ineptitude. Even if Wallner strikes out a whole ton, at least it's someone else doing it. Julien needs to be the every day DH with how he's hitting, and get Buxton on an IL/mental health break.

Because we have such an awesome offense already, that we have no room for him?

He actually provides into the negative.  He has mastered the art of non producing outs.

Twins have adapted well to the pitch clock by stepping up the pace of their blown lead implosions.

There's been the odd comment or three about that very subject 

[RickOShea]
