No Buxton + Wallner worked well last night, let's see if it works a second night!

I'm pleasantly surprised. 

[Mortimerkenny21]

A"s beat Boston again, like someone said, "those weren't gimmie games." And Cleavland lost today, this could be a tough one tonight, but it would be great to gain some ground. Hopefully with some hot bats!

[SwainZag]

Let's hope that Maeda flips the script from his last start.   Love they are running back pretty much the same lineup that raked last night.

With 66 games to do it in.  Run the table, win the division crown, with a game to spare!

If the Twins run the table, they would win by at least 7 games, because Cleveland would lose the six head-to-head games.

Even better.  So, just do it, dagnabbit.

Interesting that Buxton isn't playing. It may be that he's just going with the same group that scored 10 last night or it may be that they're contemplating something or have something in the works. Kuechel's opt out date is Friday so there may be some roster juggling coming. Polanco also has to be close to returning, and maybe closer if he could DH when he got back with the Twins. Probably nothing, but one never knows.

Math! Way to go, SB!

When his team scores 10 runs a manager shouldn't mess with the batting order. If it ain't broke don't break it!

Math does not care whether it's encouraged or not. Math is the way, the truth, and the light. It was, is, and ever shall be, world without end.

I meant the USE of math!  Not math itself!🤣

Berrios/Darvish on Toronto radio 590, no score top of 2nd.

Quote

The Mariners announced a few roster moves prior to tonight’s game, selecting the contract of right-hander Devin Sweet and recalling fellow righty Prelander Berroa, with both players set to make their respective major league debuts as soon as they get into a game.

The Mariners are calling up Berroa of the Sam Dyson trade for the first time, potentially to play against the team that he started with.

OK, that's fine. But that's not what you said. I was going by what you said, not by what you meant.

In the part of the world where I was brought up, many people used such terms.

Old school cartoon.

Did Elmer Fudd Say Dagnabbit?

In the cartoon universe, yes, Elmer Fudd did say “dagnabbit.” The etymology of the word is based on Fudd's catchphrase. https://blogdigger.com/elmer-fudd/

Have sourdough naan dough resting. Lentils (daal) to follow. Naan will get my just harvested garlic, butter, and chopped parsley.
