    So that's why we don't PH Arcia. I get it now.

    Dickbert: "This is kind of an unusual move in a one run game." me: It's called "pinch-hitting." Not actually all that unusual.

    Personally, if Nunez had bunted, with one out, I'd have reached through the internet and strangled him.

    Call me an old cynic, but it seems to me a major league baseball team's manager should probably have thought about, and drilled into his infielders' consciousness "who is responsible for what, when we do the shift thing," long before opening day. Such as, runner on first, LH hitter up, shift employed. Seems like that might have some chance of coming up somewhere down the line.

    "And we have a tie ball game," I said. "That's Impossible," said everyone, everywhere.

    So my friend, who's 85, told me the other day he was getting married. "WHAT??!" I exclaimed. "You're getting married?" "Yup," he said. "And get this...she's 18 and pregnant. I have to get married." I just looked at him, sort of...mouth agape. "Listen. Let me tell you a story. I went bear hunting a couple months ago. Forgot my rifle, took my umbrella instead. First morning, a big grizzly is 50 ft away...I raise my umbrella, point, pull the 'trigger' and the bear drops dead." "That's impossible," said my friend. "Someone else had to have shot that bear. " "Yeah," I said. "Think about that."

    I bet dad buys.

    Even when things go well, they go bad. If that liner by Kepler doesn't hit the bag, it's at least 2nd and 3rd.

    Nunez gets thrown out at second on a hit to right, with 2-3-4 due up behind him, trailing 4-0. There's a lot of reasons this team isn't very good. EDIT TO ADD: Mauer watches a FB sail by, right down the middle, on the way to a two strike count, putting him on the defensive, and works a walk...leaving it up to Robbie Grossman to drive in the runner from third. Mauer's "OPS w/ RISP" goes up, Twins don't score. There's a lot or reasons this team isn't very good.

    Careful with the pear references, lest we see Bartlett back in left field. BA dum tschh

    So I headed over to Twinkie Town to check out their take, as I sometimes do. This made me laugh: (headline) J T Chargois Get the Call Kyle Gibson is back too.

    So, if the Twins offered Boston any five players off the Minnesota 25 man, for free, with the stipulation it had to be five and they had to stay on Boston's 25 man, would Boston take the offer?

    The ol' "golden sombrero."

    Dick: "Ooohhh. Close to strike three."
  18. USAFChief
    Dickbert complaining about Tonkin throwing so many pitches. To which I ask...is there a state law, or something, mandating he stay in there? Or could he get guys out?
  19. USAFChief
    buxton catches that.
  20. USAFChief
    He took it to left center as a final middle finger to TR, too.
  21. USAFChief
    I busted a mirror and got seven years bad luck, but my lawyer thinks he can get me five.

    Jepsen looks shell shocked.

    Miguel Sano leads the Twins with 27 RBI. Boston has SIX players with more than that. Including one with more than DOUBLE that. I know it's fashionable to think RBI is a meaningless stat. I do not concur. EDIT: With that 2 run double, make it seven players with more than Sano's 27.
