How long after the expiration date for V8 would you use it in a bloody Mary? Asking for a friend....

I’m sure the vodka (if the quantity is sufficient) will kill any germs.  Might be a requirement to continue watching.

Did appreciate the Morneau tidbit about the Cardinals catching every break this series. They've just been better than the Twins in every facet.

This strike zone is interesting...

Miranda's career is done. Teams have figured out you don't need to throw him anything remotely close to the zone. Royce Lewis and Brooks Lee need to get back soon.

I don’t know about done but I can’t recall him getting out on a strike. That’s the stuff that gets noticed in a hurry.

At least 20%, everytime

Morny get paid by the word?

Looked like he was shrinking the zone a bit in the first. But it really doesn't matter at this point. Twins are totally lost.

No matter the service?

Ober's velocity is down, fastball sitting 89-91. Gonna be a long season if that doesn't improve.

It has to be pretty poor for me to dip below that. But I refuse to tip on takeout despite it becoming the norm since Covid 

[Patzky]

Mini rally ..

[wabene]

Wallner wants to drop the slow start rep. Good to see

[Vanimal46]

Need ya Buxton…

Saw an older gentleman in the bar - didn’t appear to be wealthy.  He bought four drinks - for himself and three friends.  Left a dollar tip to which the bartender snorted in derision.   The whole tipping think is out of control 

[Aggies7]

Remember when Byron was a serious offensive threat

[Patzky]

Fizzle in the Lou

[USAFChief]

Brutal AB for Buxton.  K's without seeing a single pitch in the zone.

[OvertheHill]

0.91 run expectancy. 
Not with Rocco’s squad.

Yeah, if I'm in a setting where I get service worth a tip, I do. 

But not when I don't. 

And in places like fast food? Seriously??

[OvertheHill]

That 2-1 wild out of zone swing of Buxton just tells the story unfortunately. He swung like his approach was “I’m swinging uncontrollably at the next pitch regardless of where it is”. 
 

Of course he strikes out.

Took the ones 4 inches out of the zone, whiffed at three 2 feet out of the zone. 

[Vanimal46]

This game has Randy Dobnak written all over it.

[Vanimal46]

Ober tipping his pitches? He’s getting crushed out there

Nah, not luck, Peter. The Twins aren't a very good baseball team.

Seems weird that Pablo and Ober get hit so hard. Maybe the Cardinals have those loaded Yankees bats.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Anyone else not surprised that we found a way to not score last inning?  I'm definitely not surprised. 

I'm already done with this clown show of a game.  Time to find something more interesting to do, like watching paint dry.
