    Good thing we don't have any players named Rodgers.
  2. Nine of twelve
    That would only be one start.

    Gotta get him out of there if it's a blister. With the off day Monday that gives him until Friday to get it healed up.

    Could have been three but Cron has a poor sense of direction.
  5. Nine of twelve
    At Wrigley Field.
  6. Nine of twelve
    Yes. Stewart back to AAA.

    BTW, with Garver and Schoop being a bit gimpy that leaves us with only Castro on the bench. It's lucky that we have Astudillo on the roster.

    Cron should have been standing on first base. Infield fly was called so he did not have to be in position to try to advance to second. A major leaguer should know that. I'll give him a break that it was a brain cramp but I'll bet he'll be reminded about that in the dugout. Edit: see post #37.

    Hey, thanks for paying attention! Yes, it's the second time recently. Unfortunately I have trouble restraining myself from pointing out mistakes that should not be made.

    Warning, nitpick alert: On the unusual play in the bottom of the first Dicknjack referred to the contact between Merrifield and Astudillo as possible obstruction. This is incorrect. Interference is when a baserunner illegally interferes with a fielder or a ball in play. Obstruction is when a fielder illegally obstructs a baserunner's progress. It may not seem like a big deal but these guys have been involved with baseball in one way or another for probably 100 years between them. They are ostensibly professionals. I don't think it's too much to ask for them to use correct terminology. Thank you for indulging me.

    Sano should not be bashed for his defense on the near-triple play. As PDX said he played it correctly. His responsibility during a rundown is to stay at least a few feet toward home plate from third base. If he's standing on the bag it creates a potential opening for the runner in the rundown to get back to the base. If anything it should have been Polanco or even Rosario backing up Sano at the base.

    Sano with a no-doubter! Two games in a row with a dinger. Hope he is turning the corner.

    I assume this is the game thread? (It is not designated as such in the title.)
  14. Nine of twelve
    I don't know exactly what it is, but there's something about this thread that makes me think about Dr. Neau.
  15. Nine of twelve
    I dunno. Ask google. (I have no shame either.)
  16. Nine of twelve
    It's not the rule but it's not really an exception either. It's just a particularly striking example of how even very good teams have bad stretches.
  17. Nine of twelve
    My first bit of advice: put quotation marks on both ends of what you are referring to in a sentence.
  18. Nine of twelve
    Watching that inning was not fun. I try to remind myself that the baseball season is long and there will be stretches of bad outcomes. To wit: the 2017 Dodgers finished the season at 104-58. Yet from Aug.26 through Sept. 11 they lost 16 of 17 games.
  19. Nine of twelve
    Hey, support the Twins' sponsors. Pizza Ranch for the win!
  20. Nine of twelve
    I'm not going to do the checking, but I think this is the first time this season that the Twins have lost more than 3 of any 6 games.
  21. Nine of twelve
    Just now commenting on the rundown: A better fielder (like every other player on our roster, for example) would not have attempted the throw that Astudillo tried to make. The third run may have scored anyway with the runner on second base but why make that throw when the runner had just been called out?
  22. Nine of twelve
    Without Jerome Howard the 3 Stooges would be a minor footnote. Curly was perhaps the most gifted comic actor in the history of film.
  23. Nine of twelve
    I haven't seen all of them.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Ho hum, another home run. Seen it a hundred times this year already.

    http://www.startribune.com/the-ex-rays-tampa-bay-gets-ok-from-mlb-to-explore-montreal/511580082/ This piece with an AP byline was posted on the Strib website today. Maybe it's not significant, but then again maybe it is. If I were an owner choosing between Montreal and Tampa/St. Pete for a location for an MLB franchise I'd choose Montreal for sure.
