I remember back in my youth, water beds were all the rage. Mrs Chief and I tried one, but I just couldn't get used to it...wayyy to bouncy.

Looking back, I think maybe the problem was I filled it with spring water. 

Should have filled it with di- STILL- ed water.

Nice PA Max

Magic number remains stuck on 67.

The pitch that just hit Wallner would have been a swinging strike by the other DH...

I was thinking along the same line but came up empty

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Holy cow slow game, Batman. I thought they had a pitch clock this season 

Most of us 9-to-5ers are going to need to move to the west coast tonight,  just so we don’t have to go to bed after midnight again 

[mrtwinsfan]

Gonna be a long game with this Umpire,

Kinda like the numbers you posted for Stevenson 

I said managers see more than computer numbers, unless they are using a pen and paper, nowadays they are computer numbers.

 

[RickOShea]

Okay, 2 run start.  Got to keep the pressure on.  Let's step on a few necks, tonite.

Potatoe potato

[ashbury]

Welp.

[Schmoeman5]

Happy Birthday Suarez 

[IndyTwinsFan]

That lead sure didn't age well.

[IaBeanCounter]

What has happened to our starting pitchers?

[USAFChief]

I believe that ties the MLB record for quickest loss of a two run lead.

I hope it's nothing more than a much longer break between starts than normal, due to the ASG break.

At least I hope that's what it is.

I'll have to go through Ricky Nolasco's game logs to be sure.

[Parfigliano]

They are hitting bullets

[ashbury]

Mariners hitters batting .800 so far tonight.  But it's small sample size.

[USAFChief]

Maybe try something other than middle middle, Ohbzie

It looks like Seattle came in with a game plan vs Ober. Hopefully he can adjust

Not for very long, I wager.

[USAFChief]

Looked safe in real time 

[Parfigliano]

Thank you bad base running.  Twice.

Wait wait there’s more

Great job by Ober to bear down and limit the damage.

 

 

Not.

[RickOShea]

They definitely respect our arms.
