Just walked in to see Santana strike out that last guy. Who scored for the good guys?

Just walked in to see Herrmann nail a runner at second

An Eduardo HR would be nice right about now.

Nunez!!!

This McCullers dude has a very sharp break on his curve. Almost Duffey like.

Just walked inn to see

 

 

NUNEZ!!!!!!

Whoops, he hung one on Nunez. Buh-bye!

If Nunez slapped hands with Gomez when he crossed the plate, what would happen next?

The first thing is, I would laugh.  The second thing, Gomez' helmet would fall off.  Third...got me.

Now I'm leaning towards Duffey having a better curve.

Shortstops not looking horrible lately

Let's go Ervin!  <clap, clap, clapclapclap>

we will chalk that up as an official "call"

Time for Chris Herrmann to blast one.

Santana has 95 pitches.  It will be interesting to see how far he can go today and how much of a leash Molitor gives him.

Aw, shucks. Even Stevie Wonder matches up his pant and shirt sometimes.

CBU from the small frys (or is it fries?):

 

USA 10, Japan 9, bottom 2 at Little League WS.  US put 10-spot up in 1st, Japan came back with 7 in the 2nd.  

 

 

Shouldn't Altuve be playing in THAT game??

* the wave *

 

Oh, not supposed to do that any more, I hear. Where's that copy of Anna Karenina...

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's go, Ervin, let's just finish this inning off.

 

-- really nicely done.  Must feel good to get a standing O walking off the field after his last month of baseball.

*stands and applauds Santana*

 

MUCH better, Ervin.  Thank you.

Yes!  Santana comes through.

The letter of the day is "K"

 

Backward or forward

Man, Ervin Santana really fought hard to get that last out. Bravo. Ice pack and Miller time, baby.

Great start by Santana.   And for the most part,  it was a great Santana-style start, getting ahead of hitters and getting K's and defensive swings.

 

That would be as opposed to a great Pelfrey-style start, having the good fortune to have hitters miss crushable pitches and hit rockets that find their way into gloves.

It's a beautiful day for a homerun, but even a triple's okay!

 

Okay, am I of a certain age?

Triple, Dick?   Nice bit of hitting by Dozierzy, but how is that not an error?

 

Either way, insurance runs are nice even with a good bullpen, let alone the Twins'.

Esco! He be bangin' it from the left side, bro!

It cracks me up how teams still play Escobar so shallow!

You let your hair grow as long as you like, Mr. Santana.
