Mrs Ash and I spent an unanticipated night in the state of Texas yesterday, due to a good-luck/bad-luck set of circumstances involving the weather and a connecting flight through DFW.  We know better - don't fly through Denver to see family at Christmas, and don't fly through Dallas for summer vacations.

They need to build a roof over the entire state.

And of course, we remember General Sheridan's statement long ago: "If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell."  Personally, I can't see the difference that he was able to discern.

The BBQ, however, is legit.

Heckuva AB Jose.

[Parfigliano]

Impressive PA Miranda

[Aggies7]

What an at bat (plate appearance)

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

That's a great AB from Miranda.

[stringer bell]

Okay, I was worried Jose would chase and pop up or something. He had a great at bat.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Come on, Larnach...

[stringer bell]

Three strikeouts on the change up.

Not to be

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Great plate appearance followed by an awful one.

[Parfigliano]

Larnach flys out alot until a guy is on 3rd

[Aggies7]

You get the feeling that this is a must score situation 

[stringer bell]

GDP would be a killer.

[CRF]

Blanco is throwing pitches 6-8 inches off the ground and we're swinging at all of them.

[Aggies7]

Phew 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

There it is. C4.

[Parfigliano]

Just missed it AK

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Good thing Altuve is short.

[stringer bell]

Wow, almost a line out, ends up an RBI double and AK brings in Miranda.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Blanco pitch count is up there now.

[Aggies7]

If you showed me the tape of this half inning back in April, I wouldn’t have believed it possible

Only two runs but a tremendously productive inning.

I really wasnt impressed with that place.  Its got no personality.

One of the more disappointing parks for me. I was really looking forward to it and thought the possibilities were great with the train and the uniqueness of the hill, etc.

When I got there it seemed like they had tried to stick every gimmick into it. It felt a bit like a Hollywood movie where they give everybody big belt buckles, cowboy hats and spurs, exaggerating everything for effect. Except they weren’t trying for effect.

Keep it going, Pablo!

Woof. Total meatball.

[Patzky]

Royce is not ready. Help is not forthcoming.

[Patzky]

Has Jeffers not gone to the mound?
