    And that!
  2. Nine of twelve
    Yeah, kind of like that!
  3. Nine of twelve
    OK, boys, it's time to take hold of this game.

    That was masterful pitching by Harper. He has earned his way to more high-leverage innings.

    Why would a baseball player want to wear a loose necklace while playing?

    Is North on line tonight? This looks like it could be the Canadian spelling.

    Poorly-executed rundown by Detroit allowing Schoop to get to second.
  8. Nine of twelve
    Time for Schoop to show us something here.

    Ka-boom!

    WArning, nitpick alert: Looking at the graphic being posted about security at Target Field -- there is a misspelling. It's not duffle bag, it's duffel bag.

    I said something similar to this on another thread but I think it bears repeating. Context matters. If the game is close and late a batter should do what he and his manager feel is appropriate for the situation. If baserunners are needed and a bunt is a way to get a man on base then do it. I see that the game in question was a 3-0 game and in my mind that's close. The question of whether to bunt or not should be approached from the standpoint that there is a 3-run deficit, not from the standpoint that there is a no-hitter. If the bunt breaks up a no-hitter that's just collateral damage. I seem to recall a game in which Tony LaRussa was managing the Cardinals, and one of his players stole a base in the third or fourth inning with a big lead. There were hard feelings at the time, but as it turned out the opponents came back to make it a close game at the end. LaRussa was asked about the sportsmanship of stealing a base with a big lead and he said something to the effect that if the other team had agreed to stop trying to win the game then he would have too.

    I know this is venturing off-topic but I've come around to the point of view that this is OK if it's a close game because in that case the primary purpose of doing it is to try to give your team a chance of winning the game. Breaking up the no-hitter is just collateral damage. Edit: And BTW if it happens in the first 3 or 4 innings nobody would think twice about it.

    The Minnesota connection is a nice story, but what would truly make this a good pick is seeing him succeed at the major league level in a few years.

    You omitted Sano. That makes ten. There's also Arraez, but I don't count him because he's not currently on the roster.

    *Exhale* WWCD!

    Having Parker warming should be enough for Rogers to bear down and end this game.

    Grammar alert -- they ain't no apostrophe in youse.
  19. Nine of twelve
    That's OK, as long as he still has his own left arm.
  20. Nine of twelve
    Oops, didn't notice.

    Glad Rogers has his "A" stuff tonight. If Cron gets on base, or Astudillo, Buxton comes in to PR and play CF in the 9th. In fact he should play CF in the 9th no matter what.
  22. Nine of twelve
    That bender by Rogers faked out the ump.
  23. Nine of twelve
    Can Kepler pinch hit for everyone in the lineup?
  24. Nine of twelve
    I am experiencing a feeling of unease.

    Dicknbert talking about the rotation being pushed back with an extra off day. Who's up tomorrow in the Rochester rotation? I see Smeltzer going back down with Stewart or someone getting called up for one start. Then whoever that is will go back down when Pineda comes off the IL.
