OH cussy stinky poo, Kepler got another hit.

You've been accused of being a bot before, but there is no way chatGPT came up with that comment. You are undeniably human!

The middle of the 7th.  2 innings of hitting left if your pitchers get the job done.   

Umm…three innings for the opponents to make you wish he was still in the game.

[ashbury]

Solano in for Gallo.  The People's Choice here in this situation.

[tony&rodney]

Farmer trying to pull outside pitches. Horrible at bat.

[Aggies7]

That was an undesirable at bat by farmer 

[USAFChief]

Man, Farmer needs a better AB there.

[Aggies7]

Horseshoe

[cHawk]

A timely mistake.

[wabene]

Wild Thing!! 

[ashbury]

Rocco's pinch-hitting strategy comes through!  

[Parfigliano]

PB Gift run

[Twodogs]

We really need to get rid of Kepler.  Oh wait a minute.

[Schmoeman5]

Well that's not how it's drawn up. But the Twins will take it

Lol but he was taken out to replace his glove in the infield.  You want him to hit, but you want Farmer's glove out there.  So you get 2 innings of the Twins batting and 3 innings of them in the field.  

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Assuming the inning ends here, Correa could get a leadoff hit/walk in the 9th and turns out Taylor could sac bunt in Juliens' spot

[Nine of twelve]

C'mon boys, one more time.

We deserved one after Gray gifted them in Game 1.  It's only fair right?

[tony&rodney]

Two walks tonight on strikes. 

Those passed balls/ wild pitches are why it is so important to move runners to third base every chance it is possible.

[RpR]

Regardless of if that box on TV is official, this ump. is odd in his calls.

And if the game remains 3-3…what then?

Also, I hope Kepler keeps making me look stupid

Kepler: "Challenge, accepted."

[ashbury]

We''re back to Bad Carlos tonight.

[Aggies7]

I hope we don’t need those runs we didn’t score right there 

[Nine of twelve]

The game was 3-1 when the substitution was made.

With the lineup looking good the spot is sure to come up. A month ago it would never make it. If they can bat around who cares?

If it was 3-3 at the time I think it would be safe to assume he would still be in the game.

He was asking about the Murphy HR...it was a HR in 29 of 30 MLB parks, only Arizona's was it not.

JRyan?

He could've been dinged on that foul tip rendering this discussion irrelevant 

[tony&rodney]

So many turns in a season. Now it is Emilio Pagan to save the 8th inning.
