Wentz should've stuck with football...and he hasn't been great at doing that lately either.

Got a hit off the D-backs position player Saturday night

Whoops didn't even know he was playing with us already. I was off the grid Saturday night. Well let's hope his hitting streak continues then.

The streak continues!

[CRF]

This Loop-Low guy is just wonderful.

Ok, whomever had Jordan Luplow starting out like this...I would like to have a conversation with you about tomorrow night's MegaMillions drawing.

Caution--López has given away big leads a couple of times this year, once against Washington and also against Oakland. I don't expect any problems, but it has happened before.

Then why bring it up? Let's enjoy what's happening

Isn’t the drawing tonight?

Team has fallen on face on games like this earlier this year, road game following a sweep at home.  Good for Rocco getting team up for this one, hopefully smelling a little division blood in the water.

I'm holding out for the big bucks.

Did anyone make a Carson Wentz pick 6 joke yet?

What's that? Verlander's contract for 2025?

You're to late.  I got it this morning.

No, that one is still available.

A little drama is good for the viewing experience.

I think this team has given us enough drama.  Time for boring!

Ohtani's.

[CRF]

Should not have been E-6 on that grounder. 

[RickOShea]

Dog days of Summer in full swing.  Still seeing the snarky comments.

Probably correct, but Correa has had a few balls he got leather on and wasn't given an error.

Right.  What can you do with a measly $1.55 billion anyway?

That I could almost believe.

Exactly!  That will only buy so many Tootsie Rolls!

8 hits, 7 runs, 4 extra base hits and only 1 K thru 2 innings.  Not a bad start boys.  Woud love to see Pablo cruise thru 7 shutout innings now.

I see what you did there.

Money can't buy happiness...but I'd be miserable for a lot less than that.

Amen to that!

Crazy , I missed the first 2 innings and find out the Twins have exploded for 7 runs , then score another in 3rd inning  ...

8-0 , am I dreaming ????
