Has Rocco ever played a hunch?

Some people are very black and white, no gray. I work with a guy like that and I think he makes a lot of work for himself and then wonders why he doesn’t have time. He’s really great at what he does, but I also wish he’d trust himself a little more because he truly knows what he’s doing. But he’s trying to eliminate anything ever going wrong. Hoping he will learn.

We got Hernandez’d

Lopez just hasn't been real sharp so far this year.

Didn’t he start the year last year a bit shaky? As ,not as he’s lights out for the playoffs …

It’s easy to catch up on the game thread when it’s only two pages long

He’s a mess

My sister is a ‘turn coat’ when she married a devoted Red Sox fan and became one of them, then raised two of them. I love them all, but yeeesh, talk about making it difficult

[Aggies7]

I absolutely cannot belief Rob refsnyder is still in the league and apparently doing well

He’s reason 1 through 10 why ML umpires need some kind of check and balances. And why we will go automated sooner than later.

I think finding the right fit works wonders for some …

Hows that for a generic, unprovable platitude?

[Squirrel]

Well, crap. I don’t like this.

[stringer bell]

Tempting fate in the seventh inning. Not liking giving Devers another chance especially after his K last time.

10/10

[Parfigliano]

The batter and 1b ump shouldnt be in this game.  Different reasons.

[Aggies7]

We can’t let the winning streak die because of angel hernandez 

[USAFChief]

The soft underbelly of the Twins bullpen...

Why the batter? 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Whoop, sigh of relief!

[Squirrel]

Phew! 😮‍💨 

[stringer bell]

Keep throwing those sliders Steven!!

Nothing like a 11-game winning streak to dampen the enthusiasm for a little camaraderie.

You live in Chicago. It could have turned out worse.

My own response to that is unquantifiable.

I thought that's what Churchill called Italy 

[stringer bell]

I guess anybody that went more than an inning won't be available tomorrow for the Red Sox. They should have plenty of arms available for tomorrow. 

[Aggies7]

Don’t put Duran in yet come on.
