When the Twins aren’t on TV, I highly recommend watching The Saint of Second Chances on Netflix! All about the St Paul Saints and the wackiness of owner Mike Veeck.

We get to see Encarnacion-Strand in action too? Hooray for former Twin prospects!

The crowd (or lack, thereof) in Cincy, makes the crowds in Tampa look like a full house! C'mon Cincy...support your team!

At 3rd no less, his first chance wasn't the best.

Maybe one of the Ohio teams becomes another relocation opportunity. Cincinnati has a cool ballpark and exciting young players. I don’t get it.

Are you talking about the short foul pop up that Polanco hit that landed on the dirt in front of the third base dugout that Encarnacion-Strand couldn’t get to because he was shifted way over at the shortstop position? 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Yeah Target field would be fuller than this

And they're still in it. Which makes it more confusing

"Buck Farmer."

One of the few times I wish Bert was still in the booth.

Is that an observation on the game situation, or a follow up on Chief’s joke? 🙂

Probably.

 

Does Chief joke?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kyle gets to face Buck.

 

One less thing on my game bucket list...

That Great American Ballpark is definitely a very nice place. Light years better than Riverfront Stadium. All those cookie-cutter parks were terrible. You're right, they have a good young team and they're in the race. They should be drawing a lot better than they do.

How does one hold a lead?

Seeing the stands in the back ground, there sure is plenty of drawing room.

Wallner  gotta be thrilled that no more  3 man Wall  on right side , he has a bunch of hits lately that  ???  last year

[GusGus11]

Wallner showing an ability to get some singles when thats what the pitch calls for has been big lately.

The answer the judges were looking for was “Yes”, but will accept “Probably”

Let’s ask someone smart

The judges must be easily swayed. What if the response had been "maybe"?

I am pleased to continue a long tradition of barely squeaking by.

Is there another type of squeeking by?

[USAFChief]

SAFE!

MLB umps don't often miss calls at 1st that badly.

Royce   SAFE

Squeaking by shod?

Can get really loud though.

Especially if one's tennis shoes are moist.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

And that awkward half-stride, my friends, is why some baseball players dive headfirst into first base. 

Better that Royce shortened his stride than lengthened it
