Central time games start at 7 am at my house. Ah, morning coffee and the Twins!

In the time it took to grind some beans, we're already behind. This is gonna be another one of those Joe Blows games again, ain't it? Might as well take the dog outside for a 💩.

It’s noon here for me, no complaints :)

Is Dobnak really that good ???

I doubt it. The offense has been sputtering since the AS break too 

[Thumbs Down Guy]

If only we had kept Dasan Hill!!! Certainly he could best RANDY DOBNAK!!!!

Do they run the bases in the opposite direction down there?

Kauffman Stadium is old...1970s, but has gone through a couple renovations including recently  

Absolutely beautiful 

Easily the best stadium of it's era, and virtually all of the others are gone.  I recall reading that the Royals want a new park, which is kind of a shame.  Not enough luxury boxes, of course.

I think of him more as a novelty

One tough Rodent at least.

It really stood out in the concrete donut era of stadium design

Nope, still as beautiful a game as ever. Just less people in person here who appreciate it 

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Dang we suck, I may have to rename the Post trade deadline thread, The Tank Part Duex.

Nothing against Dobnak - I hope he does well, but I don't know that I could stomach losing to him twice. 

At this point, I don’t really give a flip if he does well 😆 

[tomb77]

I've been a fan of the Twins for decades. I don't know what it is, but every fringe soft-tossing pitcher in the league pitches the greatest games of their career against the Twins.

By fly ball do you mean 103 mph line shot?

Even more reason to run with full effort.

No, but when guys swing out of their shoes at pitches out of the zone, anybody can put up Cy Young numbers....

[Patzky]

The Guards and Sox are doing their part. Cmon guys! Wake up and hit. 

[S Bart]

So much talk and pizzazz about the pitching lately....and the hitting does not seem to be examined..maybe it is short term....

Is that more cricket territory?

[S Bart]

Maybe Pete needs to have a meeting with his starters on how to make it through the first inning

Right now, he has a  .96 ERA.

[Patzky]

Joe got no heat in the heater tonight. Does he got swerve in his curve?

“So there are these things called strikes… you’re supposed to throw them.”

[jkcarew]

KC’s last win was Dobnak’s last start. Against the Twins. Were just swept by the Rockies.

 

What? Me worry?

[Patzky]

Made it work. He's getting them ready for Bailey and Kremer. 

[SS MagicMark]

Better inning there.

Yup, that starts again in the next month plus. Rugby and futbol are also huge, but lots of people here love golf and basketball as well as netball too (basically basketball without the backboard). But I haven’t found many that love baseball yet. Doesn’t mean I don’t

Still gotta score but it's a good trend.
