    Wow, just freaking wow. Centeno was motoring there to score from second.
  2. big dog
    Kennys actually learned that slide in spring training when Kepler's parents came to visit.
  3. big dog
    And now Buxton takes a walk. What alternate reality IS this?
  4. big dog
    OK, here are two interesting things. 1) I would have bet $20 Rosario would run through that stop sign at third and be out by 40 feet. 2) Nolasco gave up 6 runs in 2 innings against the Red Sox and David Price, and doesn't get a loss.

    OK, new rule. I don't care if there are two outs. Don't send Vargas home from second on anything less than a triple. Replay looks like he might have been safe, but who knows. I say we stick with the new rule. If we lose both Nunez and Vargas to calls where they made great slides to avoid the tag, but the umps called them out... -- nice overturned call there. Saved the big dog from going all Stay-Puffed Marshmallow man on his laptop.

    Wow, that was a terrible play by Holt. He went into the slide and went past the ball- looked like he missed it by at least 6 inches. Nice to see Vargas running on that and making it to second. This game is not over, the carousel of Boston runners on base not withstanding.
  7. big dog
    Yup.
  8. big dog
    OK, my man-crush on Max Kepler is really getting out of control. I just assumed he was going to hit a home run there and was disappointed it was just a triple.
  9. big dog
    No hit, but a nice line drive Sac fly. I'll take it. And he knocks Price out of the game. It's about time.
  10. big dog
    I never thought Price would make it to the 6th inning. That (apparently) bad call on Nunez at second base was a big, big play.
  11. big dog
    I've seen so little of Plouffe lately I don't have any comment on his defense. I've given up on him as a part of the team anyway. I wonder if Polanco should be taking some balls at third.
  12. big dog
    There's a nice catch over the dugout railing by Sano.
  13. big dog
    I thought he got a second Sunday hop right to him, lumbered to the bag, and made a decent throw. Just like the play he made to end this inning. He seems to be fine on easy grounders, but that can't be too hard a skill to find. This popup thing is bad. We're lucky he wasn't killed in the outfield, I guess.
  14. big dog
    Mr Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall! Geez I get tired of seeing pop flies turn into doubles in this park. Yah its historic blah blah blah.
  15. big dog
    And there's the popup to third that Sano missed by a mile. To be fair, it looked like a popup to second before the wind took it. -- and to be even more fair, Rosario and Nunez both made great efforts to get there while Sano watched. Rumors of him being a third baseman appear to have been exaggerated.

    One report on Chris Sale was that he didn't want to wear the team's throwback uniform and the team didn't care. So he apparently cut them up. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/chris-sale-involved-in-clubhouse-incident.html

    Well, Ricky certainly lit himself on fire tonight. The Twins get 4 off Price and they are behind after 2 innings. Let's move on, please. Time for a DFA. Let's not bother trying to get someone's 42nd best prospect for him.
  18. big dog
    First strike to Vargas looked well outside to me.
  19. big dog
    Let's go Kennys "clap clap clap-clap-clap"
  20. big dog
    Dick says it is raining less than a mile away from Fenway.
  21. big dog
    Dozier flew out to Martinez. Looked like Martinez spun in a circle trying to track that down.
  22. big dog
    Grossman hits what looks like a routine fly to right-center, and it blows way past the right fielder and hits off the wall for a triple. Meanwhile, at home plate the wind is blowing litter into the third base stands. Looks like an interesting night ahead. Sano + popup = ???
  23. big dog
    Kiriloff has had a heck of a first month. Wow. Lots of good news in these reports, thanks.
  24. big dog
    I'm not going to draw any conclusions about the recent events until I review the Zapruder film. Did Antony push Ryan under the bus, or was it a stumble? Hmmm....
  25. big dog
    Big win! Go Twins!
