Are we still talking about Corbin?

His first season under his FA deal was as a 29 year old.

Corbin Carroll. I name swapped.

I see that Clay Carroll is still alive and I hope enjoying retirement down in Clanton AL.  Heck of a reliever for a long time.

Question...on the Belzer commercial in the malt shop. What does Belzer say at the end? He says "Usually we share, but"... then he says something...and I can't make out the rest of what he says. It's bugging the hell out of me. One of you guys must know the answer. HELP PLEASE!

Star Wars Night at TF; May the (Twenty) Fourth.

Can't even do simple promo nights right, Mr St Peter.

I'm glad Margot stole second.  Less chance of Miranda passing him during the home runs trot.

Twins scoring is a two-two train.

Maki, "got you throwing the curveball, Joe" 

[ashbury]

Willi's turn to shine!

[USAFChief]

Nice outing, Mr Ryan. 

That's enough for this evening.

[ashbury]

Goodnight Mr. Ryan?  Heck of a game.

[RickOShea]

all we're trying to do is save private ryan.

[Cornholio]

Did Ryan pull the zipper up on Maki’s shirt during that mound visit? LOL

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So ya think our bullpen can hold the lead?

 

Or do we need more insurance runs?

Yes.™

Man, Jax's first two pitches had me wondering if he would make it through the inning.  Then 3 straight Ks.  "Effectively wild," I guess.

Jax looking sharp.

[RpR]

AH,  Julien adds to his team leading K total.

I wasn't looking, after the first two pitches and a quick glance back when Ruiz got called on a marginal non-check swing.  You might have been right and he was sharp once he worked out his landing spot or whatever was bad at first.

Gotta admit with this score I have one eye on the screen, lol.

I remember back with Buxton GIDP was basically impossible. That was a lot of fun, haha. All I have to say is thank goodness for Patrick Corbin. When you give up hits to Margot, Farmer, Santana and Vazquez in the same game, you know your legit MLB days are over.

[ashbury]

With this score I keep expecting to see a parade of Pollyannas streaming through to tell us "they knew it all along."

I knew Patrick Corbin should have been DFA'd all along!

He'll be a Twin next year.

Are you saying we've never seen that movie before?  He's reliable, he's cheap, he'll be available.
