Gum said 101?

[USAFChief]

Raley bitching about getting called out on strike 5.

[ziggy]

I like Santana at first base. His glove seems to work.

[Patzky]

If it had gone quicker I'd say send him out again for the 8th. 

 

Don't want to see Sands at all but could get Okert..

[USAFChief]

If Alcala can maintain just a little command, he's a real nice pen piece.

I missed that news….. Cepeda is woefully underrated.

His career actually has some Olivaness, though a couple years earlier. He was phenomenal through age 32, but only had one season with more than 75 games after that point. That was in a renaissance year thanks to the implementation of the DH in 1973. His most-similar player on b-r.com is Eddie Murray through age 33 before tailing off to Carlos Lee at career end.

His Hall of Fame balloting (and general reputation) was significantly hurt by an arrest for smuggling marijuana, but he was finally elected by the Veteran’s Committee.

Alcala pitched last night. Zero chance he comes back out in the 8th.

[Patzky]

Saucedon is back, twas Kepler who sent him splattering at Target Field. Looks like they're going to get reacquainted

I could handle enough runs to give Castro his third game on the mound. Maybe he can hit 20 there too. 

EDIT to add: To clarify, I mean enough runs BY THE TWINS.

I like him at first on hustle plays as well. 

[Patzky]

Not enough Saucedo? Just add Bazardo. Unless of course you've got a little Eddie Guardado.

[Patzky]

Little too close there.

[Aggies7]

Wtf was that

[Aggies7]

Ridiculous how these guys have so little control. All in the name of max velocity and spin. Going to get someone killed 

[TwinsCD]

Buxton has raised his BA 42 points in the last 15 games.

[IndianaTwin]

Buxton just missed three of those pitches. And fortunately, the one just missed him. That could have been ugly. 

[Aggies7]

4 pitch walk to the ****ing 9 hitter with a 4 run lead

[TwinsCD]

What does Rocco have against Staumont?

[Patzky]

Christ sakes. Then when he throws a strike it's a ball.

[USAFChief]

This has been Okert pretty much all season.

And his slugging percentage about 100 points.

(Apologies if that’s too mathy.)

 

[IndianaTwin]

That’s a nice response to the Mariner TV graphic noting that only Crawford and Rodriguez have not struck out tonight. 

[Patzky]

I mean wtf 

[USAFChief]

I don't often bitch about balls and strikes calls, but COME ON.

No kidding . Guess it worked out ok but damn.

[TwinsCD]

Wow, how do you not challenge that?  I thought he was safe live.

[Aggies7]

First replay he looked safe, why would you not challenge

That’s a huge break
