I don’t think they give too many errors when the fielder slides,

Where was the slide? It was waist high

What is it with the mental block of the 7th inning or 3rd time through line-up? Do what you've been doing all night - attack, get ahead, keep the fielders involved - lather, rinse, repeat...

Everyone talks about the “third time through” all around the league so it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy with some guys IMO. They don’t expect to pitch this deep in to games,

[Parfigliano]

Nice to see someone else not score with bases loaded 0 outs

[Aggies7]

Wow that’s a good job

[sampleSizeOfOne]

If i wander off, y'all got this, right?

[wabene]

Very nice work by Pablo

[TwinsCD]

Houdini's got nothing on Pablo in the 7th.

You've been here the whole time?  That's a rarity. 😉

I was on the cusp of posting we had 'em right we wanted 'em, but it smacked of hubris.

Sliding on a knee when the ball hit his glove

All teams seemingly struggle. The Phillies had two chances to break Wednesday's game open in the first and second (2nd and 3rd no outs, and bases loaded one out). We see the Twins fail, but everyone does seemingly too often.

Good stuff from Pablo in the 7th. And dare I say it, Vazquez heating up!

Still an E-8

[wabene]

Brooks Lee 3 for 3, I like the sound of that

 

Er 3-4 nevermind

[stringer bell]

Seattle has been struggling to score runs all year and lately have been dreadful, they scored eight in the first inning against the White Sox.

I know they give out a lot of hits on things that are errors nowadays, but I still think that’s ruled a hit 90% of the time

I think his 3 for 4

[Parfigliano]

A game or 2 back I bet Vazquez wouldnt hit over .200 for the year.   Now he has his best game hitting all year.

Bet he wont hit over .235 for the year.

It is still fun to say.

 

I also harken back to Tenacious D song about Lee.

[wabene]

Wonder why they dry humped Alcalá.

Easy now, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around Six String Samurai and the enigmatic Jeffrey Falcon, lol.

[TwinsCD]

And that's why Lee should be the #2 SS.

He is hands down their second best middle infielder/3rd baseman, defensively.

Thought i'd stay until they put Thielbar in...

[Aggies7]

Can we stop messing around 

[stringer bell]

Don't give them momentum! I really don't want to see the high leverage guys have to throw.

[Aggies7]

Having to burn Jax in what was a 6 run game wouldn’t be ideal

[mnfireman]

Was hoping Staumont could finish this....

Good call!  Perfect time to give Larnach the opportunity against a lefty.  As one the posters wrote in a different topic earlier today.... it's plain old fashion  stubornness.   Being stuborn is a horrible trait for a person in management regardless of the occupation.

Being stubborn is one thing...being stupid is a completely different problem.
