Ugh get some lift on that Sano!!

[Gibby]

My church is rowdier than this ballpark.

[DaveW]

Sano! 40% k rate tonight, but a great example how K Rate isn't everything. (Cough cough) Call up Arcia Or Vargas'

[DaveW]

My church is rowdier than this ballpark.

we are at the stadium, 90% has cleared out. Insanely long game. Work night etc etc

[ScrapTheNickname]

I know this has been alluded to before, but the way Sano looks the Twins will never be able to pay him when the time comes. Therefore, one can't help envisioning him (please, stab me in the eyes with a knitting needle!) in a Yankees uniform one day. (The kid will deserve all the money he can make, it won't be his fault. But still. I need my mind wiped clean.

[S.]

That was a terrible at bat.

[USAFChief]

 

That was a terrible at bat.

Not so much terrible as "overpowered."

[FattCrapps]

Is this guy at the game?

It's sad watching Hunter limp to the finish....

[ScrapTheNickname]

How low can Hunter go?

 

My prediction (the only one I will make this year) stands: By this weekend Buxton is playing OF and Hunter is sitting.

Mauer's contract will be done by the time they need to pay Sano.  That should free up some extra money to pay him.

Oh, you are out there. I was in my youth. Great place.

[SwainZag]

Now would be a good time to see Eddie swing at one at eye level and pull it over the RF wall

[USAFChief]

Next time someone tries to tell you velocity isn't important, show them this inning.

 

Then take him to BBRef and show him Betances' K rate.

[mikeee]

I've decided that the Yankees have a pretty good bullpen.

It's going to be even more sad all next season.

 

(But seriously, please don't extend Hunter. Please.)

Let's hope. Though it's a long long way off.

[howeda7]

I think they come up with an injury and DL him until September. In all honestly, I think he needs it anyway.

[DaveW]

Jepsen- extend this game maybe (please!!!!!)

Jim Hoey says "Hey."

[DaveW]

LLR due up against Jepsen. Uh oh.

[howeda7]

This season has been Brett Favre 2009 and 2010 rolled into one....

It's going to be even more sad all next season.

 

(But seriously, please don't extend Hunter. Please.)

 

[USAFChief]

They'll wait till Buxton's hot streak is over, and call him up just in time for the inevitable slump to follow.

[DaveW]

I know Perk isn't a LOOGY but would it not make sense to bring him

In here?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Molitor foresaw extra innings, else he'd have pinchrun for Sano.

 

Shut 'em down (or up. Both are good) Jepsen!

[Jham]

If I have to watch A-Roid hit another walk-off...

[amjgt]

I have a sick feeling in my stomach to start this inning

[USAFChief]

 

Jim Hoey says "Hey."

a)  Hoey didn't throw 99, and 

 

 That he could throw mid-90s was the only reason he even got where he did.

 

 

[DiscGolfer]

Usually games that are 4 hours long are in the 12th or 13th inning

Jim Hoey says "Hey."
