Concur

Get 2 runs, hit the leadoff batter, walk the 3rd guy. Suboptimal.

[Jham]

So LaMonte Wade is a .384 on base percentage guy now? Top 10 in the NL?

Twins obviously didnt see that coming.

It was an HR, which has been an issue, obviously. Otherwise dominated, though.

It was more entertaining than other dinner adventures

4 of 5 leadoff Men reach base, luckily Pitt is 0-9, with risp.

"Gonna do him left handed. Only way i can be satisfied. I use my right, over too quickly."

Tryna not be a snooty Twins fan.

[USAFChief]

I'm pretty surprised to see Lopez on the mound, and IMO it ain't a good idea.

 

edit: well it worked, but I still don't think it was a good idea.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Concur.

Ya mean like this?

Jiminey Christmas, that was tight! Glad there wasn't any damage.

[mnfireman]

It wasn't pretty, but 6 shut out innings from Lopez.

Rocco was counting on one hand the number of innings remaining, and on the other hand relievers he’s willing to put into a tight game.

So Pablo gets the 7th too? Maybe the 8th?

[USAFChief]

By the way, meant to bring this up earlier.
