I was offered a job doing that before. 

I wasn't sure why they offered it to me so I turned it down. 

The whole thing was kinda fishy. 

Nice. I just got a job offer to be wait staff at a local diner. They thought I’d bring a lot to the table.

The entire situation smells, IYAM.

[MMMordabito]

Farmer's made 8 outs in his last 6 PAs. He's actually worse than his numbers indicate.

[USAFChief]

Jeffers has really turned himself into a good big league hitter.

That can't be right.

 

Seems like way more 

[Azviking101]

Farmer has three hits and 3 GDP,  so 47 outs in 47 at-bats.

Buxton last 7 games: .409/.435/.682 (1.117 OPS) 1 HR, 4 RBI.... just horrible

Buxton last 15 games: .267/.277/.467 (.744 OPS).... not superstar, but above league average

After a slow start to his season, Buxton has hit just fine and is playing outstanding in CF.

Buxton lucks into streaky weeks. Anyone actually watching him can see that he’s just guessing up there 

28/1 K/BB ratio

Right, Buxton probably barely cracks the top ten things to complain about on this team.

Miranda has been looking good.  Santana with another RBI.  Twins up 4-0

[David HK]

🤡😂🤡  This Jo Adell--  What a clown!

Could have left tried a lot harder on a bloop to RF, then tried to catch one with his @$$!

Almost feel for Sandoval, with the Angels "throwing the leather" around!

Miranda should 0-3 in this game. To his credit, he has made contact and gotten two balls to fall.

I don't know what Adell's rep is as an outfielder. He's an impressive looking hitter and I know he's got plus power. Wallner for Adell might be a trade to make if the Twins want a right handed hitting corner outfielder.

4-0 Twins. Through 5 1/2

The BB/K ratio is alarming, but he's gotten some hits lately

I'.m following on Gameday, so a misplay shows up only as a double

If I'm doing math correctly, that's a 1.000 batting average!!1!

[mnfireman]

From completely dominating and throwing a no-no, to second and third nobody out, Ober falls off the cliff fast.

[h2oface]

Farmer now = officially worthless.

[David HK]

Shoot.  Good job by Bailey so far, though!

Adrianza is still in the league?!?!

[stringer bell]

Sanó must still be having problems with his knee.
