    And, the game ends with the Twins holding a 3.5-game lead in the division.

    !Mierda! Now Duran needs to bear down and the lineup needs to produce big time in the ninth.

    Just as Perkins just said, not enough experience playing left field on Gordon's part. Should have played to field the ball on the bounce.

    Stop me if you've heard this before: Twins vs Texas, one team takes a 3-0 lead, the other team scores 6 in an inning to take the lead. Edit: ninja'd by Danchat.

    Will that work for you?

    Miranda to the Rangers: I know you are but what am I?

    Brooks Urshela.

    Conversation in the booth about position players pitching in blowouts - it would have been interesting to see what Dave Winfield could have brought to the mound in that situation but it never did happen.

    This is almost what I think. Smeltzer is a very good pitcher when he has perfect command. But if any part of his mechanics or command is off he doesn't have the physical ability to do well at the major league level.

    Group of people who have among the best seats in the house behind home plate, and they are paying no attention whatsoever to the game. Half of them have their backs turned.

    I don't think I totally agree. I think low scoring games are almost always due to good pitching and rarely due to poor offense. I'll paraphrase a famous bit of writing. And now these three remain: batting, fielding and pitching. But the greatest of these is pitching. Thus has it ever been, thus shall it ever be.

    The man is utterly incapable of describing what is happening on the field. Beyond not knowing the score, outs, or inning you don't know if runners advance, you don't know if runners score, you don't know which base the throw is going to, and often you don't even know which base the batter advances to on a hit. He does OK as an analyst, he tells some good stories, and he'll share the occasional bit of good insight. And he can be funny. Just bring in a third announcer (Atteberry?) to do PBP when Cory gets his innings off.

    Perkins talking about throwing the ball to first on a bounce because it speeds up the ball. ? I can't believe anyone actually thinks this is true. If this actually happens you could underhand a ball on turf and it would gain speed with each bounce until it blasts a hole in the fence. True, a bounced throw slows down a little bit less than on grass but it does not speed up.

    Corey Seager - pipe dream or hallucination?
  16. Nine of twelve
    Intentional unintentional walk to Arraez.

    Hmmm. That's not my view. It seems to me that many, probably a majority, of the people who post on this site are the ones who are playing Fantasy Baseball.
  18. Nine of twelve
    NIce one. I'll bet you fooled some people. He's a detriment to their pitching staff. 28-16 in games when he appears is far worse than the Yankees' record in games in which he doesn't appear (31-7, 132 win pace).
  19. Nine of twelve
    Disagree. You assess any and every trade by comparing the total outlay and the total return. And we don't know the total outlay or total return until the players involved retire, are released, or leave in free agency. Or are traded, in which case the outlay and return in those trades have to be factored in.

    I appreciate facts. Like this. Opinions are fine, I suppose (this sentence being one). But facts are irrefutable.
  21. Nine of twelve
    If possible.
  22. Nine of twelve
    OK, name his replacement.
  23. Nine of twelve
    He's not what this team needs.
  24. Nine of twelve
    This is not intended as criticism, but just an observation. When ball three is delivered, Dick Bremer always says who the on-deck batter is.

    Mutually dorsal home runs!
