That was Bell's first RBI since the 5th.

He still leads though, right?

[RpR]

OK, tie game, now they had best play like professionals.

[Church of Kreidler]

Wouldja look at that... A tied game

I'm surprised, truthfully. 

[Patzky]

The Kody K was Killer

[Aggies7]

Well that kind of fizzled

[wesnewy]

we will take a tie after what it's been the last few lol

[Church of Kreidler]

I mean, with Bobby Witt out... Could the KC series be doable?

[RpR]

Some here complain about swing at the first pitch, but the lack of said same does not help at all.

Um, compared to a two-run lead, or three or more?  I guess by definition, yeah.

/ edit - on second reading, that was the joke, right?

For NHL fans, many analysts say a 2 goal lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey during playoff season.

I can’t imagine a more dangerous lead than 1-0 early in a baseball game 

[Vanimal46]

Ober can we get 6 out of you tonight?*

 

* A question I would ask myself if I were the Billy Haywood of the Twins

Tied it, that's something! But then we got tight.

 

[RpR]

Ober's fast balls seem to be all ober the place but if he wants mimic The Wild Thing, he has to get closer to the batter.

Royals just swept the Giants.  I know the Giants have more faults than the Bay Area, but it still was a sweep.

Ober's fast balls----  you okay ?

[Patzky]

Well the equivalent of losing your starting kicker. He ain't Jeffers.

We did great with Jose Ramirez out! Lol, I thought the same. Kurtz may be getting back by the time we play Oakland 

[Patzky]

Bailey sniffed the K.

He might consider not throwing anymore fastballs.  Sweepers, sliders, curves.  He needs to get below hitting speed since he really can't get above it.

The way this is going we’ll be lucky to get 4 out of him tonight

The rules say the pitching rubber has to be 60' 6" from home plate, and it's a balk and/or automatic ball if you start your delivery from anywhere forward of it.

[Western SD Fan]

Rare bad throw from Jackson.  I think he has been our best catcher at trying to control the run game.

He's tall though..

[Patzky]

Once Ober gets those Ks he's a bulldog 

[ashbury]

An inning where we didn't allow the opposing team to score a run!   I believe that is referred to as a "shutout" in baseball lingo.

[RpR]

Time for Rodko  Roden to earn his keep.

He is now above the Mendoza line.
