    Jurado has a pretty mediocre track record, and has been worse in his past 15 games, and even worse in his past 7 games. Golden opportunity tonight to put a little distance on the Indians. Let’s go, Jose, pitch well.

    Hell, a pitcher could “pitch” a perfect game without throwing a pitch!

    Do we care about wins now?

    Hold on a second, did you say that Willians WALKED? How about Brusdar heading to Texas?

    Nats scored 10 runs in the fifth, knocking Bauer out after 4.1 innings. His ERA went from 3.74 to 4.12 after getting hit for 9 runs. On the bright side, as he left the field, he didn’t throw any balls into the bleachers.

    Is this still the game thread?

    They are too busy for the likes of us, so I don’t think that will materialarraez.

    On an unrelated note, I’ll be at Nats Park this afternoon to see Strasburg and the Nats take on Trevor Bauer and the Reds. I’m thinking I should have bought tickets in center field if I wanted to catch a ball.

    Looking over Gio’s career, I was surprised at how consistently good he’s been. Having lived in DC and being spoiled with Strasburg and Scherzer, it’s easy to forget how solid he was. I had felt he really fell off in the past few years, and while that is partially true, he still has been quite good for at least half of the past several years. That said, he’s a slow-throwing lefty, I think the Twins should be able to put up some good swings and some crooked numbers against him today. He’s also given up an unusually low number of homers this year...time for some quick regression?

    I speak for everyone, when I say way, way too soon.

    The prospect rankers clearly felt he had Arraezted development.

    There is dialogue in Chinese with subtitles, but I think the majority was in English. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I was able to understand.

    There are all sorts of problems with this theory, I can’t even begin to enumerate them all.

    It’s charming and funny. The main character is the same actress who played the very quirky cousin in Crazy Rich Asians. Takes a very different role here, in a good way.

    The fact that he is (legitimately) in the conversation for this is kind of the point, and, in and of itself, quite remarkable. All that, and no one can really pronounce his name, either!

    I thought The Farewell was excellent.
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    Ok, then good. Things back where they are supposed to be.

    I pulled the time-honored anti-jinx out for this evening.

    Am I the only person wondering how Cleveland is going to pull out the win tonight?
  20. AlwaysinModeration
    Lots of teeth gnashing around these parts over falling into second place after having an 11.5 game lead. Allow me to note this: The Twins are one of five teams in baseball to have over a .600 record. Obviously, Cleveland is one of them. The other three have leads of 9, 10, and 18.5 games. Unfortunately the Twins are in the only division that happens to have two .600 win teams. The Twins are a good team. Cleveland is a good team. Minnesota started out hot, and then Cleveland got hot. I think it’s gonna be a dogfight down the stretch. Buckle up!

    I was wondering when someone was going to mention this
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    Today is Tuesday, August 13. The Twins have fallen into second place in the central for the first time since, I believe, April 19, nearly four months ago, when the Twins were 9-7 and Cleveland was 11-7. Let’s hope this is a short-lived stay in second place, and after tonight, the team re-emerges in their rightful spot atop the central division.
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    No.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    Actually it’s about 65-70% likely that they score a run with runners on second and third with one out. The average run expectancy with that situation is 1.4 runs.
  25. AlwaysinModeration
    The toughest thing to stomach is that it would have been such a huge boost to walk off that game after being down two in the ninth against Hand. It’s almost like blowing a 9-3 lead to the Yankees.
