Julien 5-15 and a W against LHP.  Think Rocco noticed?

A friend of mine has a gambling problem. He stopped going to the casino for two weeks and he noticed that his bank account was in better shape. 

So... he did the obvious thing with the extra money... he went back to the casino. 

I think Rocco noticed. I also don't think it matters.

Benitendi's 1st game in LF?

He’s a Gold Glover. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We seem to have gotten better at hitting where they ain't?

Its not easy to be 3-20 without major problems hitting, pitching and catching the ball.  To their credit they haven't been playing their usual error riddled D yet this series. 

Maybe saving it for tomorrow?

Other than that, how was the play?

Benitendi may be the worst LF defense ever

To be fair, Farmer and I would both have walked there.

Hello Kittie day?!

 

Waddabout Badtz Maru?

They're 28th in team ERA. I think they just suck all around...

Well they face better competition than others?

I'm shocked anyone is shocked by this lineup. 

Garrett Crochet is left handed. The players not in the lineup are left handed hitters. 

Rocco does this consistently. He's doing what he always does. 

Garrett Crochet currently has .500 OPS difference between lefties and righties. 

 

Is that half an Ops?

 

Where'd the other half go?

[PDX Twin]

Would this White Sox team be below .500 in AAA?

I really don't know. I also don't know what happened to the other 98 of 2% milk. 

[Parfigliano]

Stewart 11 pitch 8th inning

Not to be confused with a Gold Grover. Grover may wear bling, but he's blue . Through and through.

More empty seats?

So the calf gets more than half?

I think so? It's really hard to bat .500.

[Parfigliano]

It hit him

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Can't stop Santana, you can only hope to complain about him.

Well, the selfish one, maybe...

Unselfish ones might share.

[Linus]

Laz Diaz cementing his reputation as being a horrible umpire. And he is better than Angel Hernandez.

All this talk about Veal, Shell Fish and Milk is making me hungry.

Hilarious + true.

[stringer bell]

Lots of struggling hitters in the Twins' lineup. Here's how they've done today;

Castro 2-4 HR & 2B, Vázquez 3-4, Margot 2-5 2B. 

Now the bad news: Farmer 0-4 (3 Ks & GDP), Santana 0-4, 1 BB

[Parfigliano]

Winner.  Stomp them tomorrow too.
