    Do not swing, Simmons.

    Willians wears one. Couldn't resist the alliteration.

    The kid is a hitter. New game now boys, let's get after it.

    Winnah! I missed the first part of the game as the lawn needed to be mowed. The first thing I heard coming out of the TV when I came inside was Dick uttering the words "ten-run lead." Of course, I assumed the worse but was happy to find the better. However, there were two games from the past that haunted me. Fortunately I knew better than to mention either until this game ended. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CLE/CLE200108050.shtml And, of course, https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CLE/CLE198409280.shtml

    It has been over 5 months since the Cleveland team announced it would be changing its name, then partially reneged saying it was too late to have new uniforms made. (I guess it takes more than 2 months to fabricate uniforms.?) Well, here it is 5 months later. They'd better make up their mind about the name change very soon because there are "only" 9 months until uniforms are needed for spring training. Has anyone heard what the new name will be?

    It's not necessary to understand why the game is becoming more pitcher-dominant, but for the good of the game I think it's time to try to rebalance things. We need fewer K's, fewer BB's and fewer HR's. Lower the mound, move the rubber farther from home, soften the ball, and enlarge the strike zone.

    About the same as a 4-0 lead in the third inning of an actual game.

    In the midst of gloom Miguel Sano is a huge beacon of light.

    The Twins were 5-4 after the games of April 11. They have gone 9-23 since then. We have been cursed by the accursed virus-that-must-not-be-named.

    Duffey did not throw at Mercedes. That pitch went exactly where he intended it to go. (IMHO.) Sixty years ago the first pitch in Mercedes' first plate appearance would have been in his ribs at 90 mph. Whether or not that is right and good, both players, both teams, both managers, and all four umpires would have accepted it as part of the game. And that would have been the end of it. Of course, sixty years ago no team would have had such little pride as to have a third-string catcher lob 45-mph tosses from the mound. And, of course, even if that had happened no batter would have swung at 3-0 in that situation. It all comes down to sportsmanship. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Or something like that.

    Totally bungled by Rortvedt. First, don't throw the ball because there was another runner advancing to third base. Run him back. Second, get out of the way. Third, expect a good ass-chewing by the manager back in the dugout.

    Hit hard! Deep! With Dick a ball 20 feet short of the track is deep when a Twin hits it but is a lazy fly ball when an opponent hits it.

    Astudillo looks like his hand hurt him to swing. Not a good sign.
  14. Nine of twelve
    A's were all in the dugout. Laureano wearing his helmet holding a bat. Love it!
  15. Nine of twelve
    So are the jerseys.
  16. Nine of twelve
    Safe.
  17. Nine of twelve
    Moreover, Dick said this pitcher has not walked a batter yet this year.
  18. Nine of twelve
    Ball three? Better watch out for the makeup call on anything close.
  19. Nine of twelve
    Three players contributed to three runs. OK with me.
  20. Nine of twelve
    I think you are probably correct, but the replay didn't show exactly when he contacted the bag. His left hand was near it but I don't think he got a finger on the base until right about when Simmons' glove brushed him.
  21. Nine of twelve
    The tag didn't get applied very quickly but the baserunner didn't make contact with the base very quickly either.
  22. Nine of twelve
    Down two runs late. Two on, two out. Sano batting. Three-run dinger. This is how it is supposed to be.
  23. Nine of twelve
    Winnah! Thank you Mr. Sano.
  24. Nine of twelve
    As an aside, Tony Randazzo behind home plate has shown us that there is a strong need to have electronic strike zone sensors, and soon.
  25. Nine of twelve
    Resist, resist. Do not say anything about a blind squirrel.
