How does Puig not take at least one fastball to the ribs every series?

 

Even Morris just gave Puig a pass, hell has frozen over.

The Dodgers' announcers talk a lot about the drills that players are doing on game days and what each player is focusing on. I wonder how well the Twins' coaches are doing with creating innovative and personalized drills.

I heard the Twins were working with Rosario to switch from Black and Decker to Dewalt.

I'd prefer the pitchers just go overboard showboating after striking him out.

ba-dum-tschhhhh

The Dodgers' announcers seem very confident that they will come back and win.

 

4) Books. Anyone read anything good lately? Just thought i'd ask... I keep meaning to read. It's the summer after all, with summer reading lists for everyone and their mother.

I don't read much other than the Bible, but I do go through a lot of audiobooks.  Agent Zigzag was a great, true spy story. I like Daniel Silva's Gabriel Alon series, Louise Penny's Armand Gamache series, Alex Berenson's John Wells series. All are very different, but the writing is a step up from Baldacci, Patterson, Clancy & Co., etc, and about three steps up from Cussler (who I still occasionally like to listen to.) 

 

Our library has audio books available for 10-day download on two apps - Overdrive and One-click Digital.  The don't have nearly the selection of Audible, but they're free vs $15/month.

Maybe even given enough time they can convince him to upgrade from Dewalt to a quality tool.

They have our bullpen scouted real well.

Like you?  

 

You're a quality tool.

Is that why Roberts rigged that double switch yesterday to make sure Belisle wouldn't throw in that game?

After the last two days it's hard to be too confident the are wrong.  That 1-2-3 6th by Santana helped.  I see he's hitting in the 7th, so Molitor must be developing a realistic view of the bullpen too. 

We need insurance runs.

uffda.

 

ANOTHER 0-2 hit.

Puig is 6-9 in this series.

Gibby catches that one.

I'm the energizer bunnies of 'tools', I keep going, and going...

 

 

 

 

...and going, and going...

 

 

 

...and going, and going, and going...

 

 

 

...and, hell, I'm out of juice.

Puig again - a DP would be nice (or a shot to the ribs.)

Emphasis on the plural.

Granite in center is such an arm compromise. Dodger Stadium has the fever

Attaboy Erv.

He should have pimped that Puig strikeout.

What a great pitch!

Pretty sure that doesn't drop with Byron out there.

Granite. Noodle arm. We need Buxton.

Easy for Buxton. Crap!

Granite. Afraid of the wall.

I think I'm off to bed while I can still imagine the bullpen holding onto a 1 run lead.

 

g'night all.

 

Easy for Buxton. Crap!

 

Yep, wasn't Granite's fault at all...but thats a ball that Buxton absolutely catches.

I have heard of the Bible, but the others are new to me. Well, i assume it's Tom Clancy? Again i've been spoiled by movies. I have read a bunch of Alistair Maclean a while back.

 

Local libraries have books on cd available for 3 weeks, which is enough time to take them on a road trip.

 

I should also take advantage of that soon...
