6 runs with 2 outs and nobody on is remarkable 

Truly, the best fix for what ails the pitching staff is for this offense to come alive.

Yeah seriously. You should go see a doctor if it took you that long 

Maybe just add some fiber to your diet?

Nice shut down inning 

[RpR]

AH, I see Lewis is having one of his very good nights tonight.

Hopefully, Witt does not.

Now I look silly for bragging on the cubs

Silly is a much better look then many of the alternatives.

Maybe the article he was reading was too good.  Or he was hung up on that last square in Immaculate Inning.

Had to go to the bathroom. Did I miss anything?

You or Mrs. Chief are probably the best judge. Is there any, uh, unexpected stuff on the floor? 

[Aggies7]

I don’t think Mr Singer has it tonight 

[Craig Arko]

Pablo Day and potty evening. :D

Jeffers, WTF...

[TwinsCD]

Wasted AB's when you stand there and look at strike 3.

How many catcher’s interferences is that now 

Learned something new tonight. Apparently "XI" is the abbreviation for Catcher's Interference. I did hover off the header to verify that's what it means. Otherwise, the catchers apparently have three elevens.

Not uncommon but his Home Runs , so far, make it less annoying.

He obviously has not been able to thread the needle on his pitches.

Good find.  Would that now be 3 for Jeffers after tonight or are they that quick to update?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Pablo looks much more confident with a lead. He was jittery at the start. Not what you necessarily want from your ace though.

Thanks for showing the graph.   See it reminders me that Camargo is certainly having a poor year at the plate in AAA.  I wonder if he is worth a 40-man spot next year?  But I suppose you need 3 catchers on the 40-man.

Baseball-reference.com only updates once per day, so this is his third. 

[BH67]

Cubs within one at the 7th inning stretch in Cleveland (8-7). And Cleveland's star trio in the pen have to be tired.

[Shaitan]

That is that, 3IP with 20 pitches now?

They've gone through previous offseasons with only two catchers on the 40-man, signing a veteran backup or two on minor league deals. He seems like a non-tender guy to me -- his roster spot will be more valuable than he is.   

[TwinsCD]

That's one way to get Witt to take a day off.

They seemed reluctant to put him behind the plate on his callups this year*, so if he's not hitting and they don't trust his defense, he has no value.

*Though both callups were more because he was the only position player on the roster and he didn't really have a position to play during those cups of coffee.

But I also think they have a lot of fat they can trim first. I think he stays on the roster unless they shakeup the C position significantly.

[Patzky]

There'll be payback for that one
