Im guessing Twins pretty happy with 5 IP 2 ER from Keuchel.  A scrap heap success.

Yeah, once you get past the junkyard dog, sometimes you can make a decent find.

[Parfigliano]

Vasquez is not as advertised.  O or D wise.

[USAFChief]

I tried starting a hide and seek league here in Tucson, but it didn't work out. 

Turns out good players are really hard to find.

Where did that come from?

Also an old Wally Balloo bit.

Did you work under the name USAFChief in the Catskill's?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well, at least we aren't losing.

No, Just USAFChief.

(or at least reminiscent. That interview as i recall went on to address other issues inherent in starting a pro hide and seek league)

[Parfigliano]

Mets broadcast very impressed with the juniper backdrop in CF

[USAFChief]

So why are we pinch running here?

[USAFChief]

Before reaching the big leagues, Red Foley supplemented his income as a country music artist.

 

[IaBeanCounter]

Do we bunt, double steal or GIDP

I don't know... Why are we pinch running there?

Are those the only options?

[USAFChief]

I love Little League.

Stevenson is faster than Wallner.

 

[mrtwinsfan]

well that was fun to watch

[Parfigliano]

That was text book Mets baseball creating that run.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We score!

 

Pretty sure that is exactly what Rocco wanted with the pinch runner

Especially when we score off the play!

[RpR]

It is a new Twins tactic, if you fall down while running, for any reason it confuses the other team and makes you faster.

[Nine of twelve]

It’s better to be lucky three times in the same play than good. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

More runs here would sure be nice here.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I didn’t expect Willi Castro to get on base 31 times this season much less steal 31 bases. 

[USAFChief]

Julien has really cooled off.
