OK, but at my age don't take all day.

Andrus?  

He's been around forever and had many productive years.

Bingo.

And there's your five. Votto, Freeman, Andrus, Cruz, and McCutchon.

[Azviking101]

Time to get Ober some rest 

438 feet to Miggy is embarrassing. He’s about the worst player in baseball nowadays 

[Jocko87]

Matt. Sheesh.

Belt-high, center-cut...very few MLB players miss those.

Old Friend Spencer Steer put Cleveland up 2-0 on Cincy. He froze on a line drive to left that sailed over his head for a double, led to 2 runs.

Miguel Cabrera's last 2 games at TF, barring a miracle finish to 2023.

Miggy leads all active MLB players with 3145 hits.

Today's quiz: who are the next 5 on the list?

(Hint: Miggy is a little over 1000 hits ahead of 2nd place, but only a little more than 1100 hits ahead of 5th place.)

Goldschmidt

Your age? At my age I may not see the end of the game and not because I shut it off.

[stringer bell]

Didn't Andrus get his 2000th hit in a game against the Twins earlier this year?

Your age?

Last time I saw my doctor I asked for some advice and he told me "Don't buy any green bananas."

One good thing about my age is I've had to learn to multitask.

I now can sneeze and pee at the same time.

Something we can all aspire to!  Hopefully it doesn't take me 176 years too.

I have every confidence in you. I bet you are able to do it at 40.

[USAFChief]

Return of the ass bats.

[RickOShea]

1 hit in 3 innings. Another Cy Young performance against the Twins, so far.

They're so unlucky

The thing about growing old is, the insults and indignities just never stop.

I called the incontenance hotline the other day, and the lady asked me if I could hold. 

Ha ha, lady. Everyone's a comedian!
