Older son Bashbury in attendance at tonight's game.  Younger son Cashbury would be except Amtrak from NYC let him down and he's stuck in Philly; no game there tonight unfortunately.

Just a really bad team.

[USAFChief]

Vazquez is valuable for his defense....

He could probably hit up the local sandlot and find similar displays of baseball

[Patzky]

Incredible. You couldn't make this stuff up. Good thing Vashky hits like he does to excuse his defense.

Let's hope the ducats were comp'd.

I can't drop this. Rocco has a guy with a sub-.400 OPS hitting 3rd.  And they want me to buy tickets for that.

 

I mean, come ON.

 

The idea is to get fans in DC to buy tickets tonight.  "Come see who the Twins are batting third!"

You would think it would help, but judging by my son's photo, it's pretty sparse.

Positively Target Field-ish.

"Chief sent me" always does the trick.  I'll tell him you said Hi.

[USAFChief]

I'm sort of fascinated by this. Vazquez's OPS now .372.

Three. 

Seventy.

Two.

Tell him to do something to get on TV.

“Both teams came in struggling”

And only one is leaving!

Gotta go, ladies and germs. Trivia night with Chief Jr Jr.

Chill out.  Only 277 games remaining on his guaranteed contract after tonight.  It'll be all over with before you know it.

No cheating. Keep that phone down!

The game will only be memorable in Twins lore for the one time one Caleb replaces another on the mound.

He knows he'll never top Stew Thornley climbing the foul pole at Met Stadium.   The gods still walk the earth.

Caleb "Ferme La" Boushley.  Those French 101 lessons still haunt me.

[Aggies7]

Margot can reach out and touch .200

Oh, sure, he's hitting a lofty .198.  But it's an empty .198.

You jest, but I think he’s technically our hottest hitter right now 

[CRF]

Just about time for Elly May Clampett.

[Aggies7]

You wonder what rock bottom is 

[Patzky]

Willi is going to have to get that last out.

And people scoffed when we traded for him.  Sheesh.

When you realize the Nationals roster is something like 58% old friends.
