Yes....instead of clicking "next" or "previous" page, just hit the little arrows on the right hand side of "next" and it jumps you to the last page.  Just figured this out myself

 

Thanks - and thanks everyone else as well. That double-arrow thing will work for me, much appreciated!

Love the game within a game BINGO.  I was a bit surprised to not see a "downward plane" square.

[gocgo]

Also, is it just me or is the strike zone a bit of a moving target today?

Another super slow game. Excruciating.

 

It's so slow, even the Houston radio crew has decided to spend their time discussing famous (and not-so-famous) twins.  As in children conceived at the same time, not Minnesota baseballers.

[mrmpls]

Alright Castre - your over due

[mrmpls]

CASTRO

[mrmpls]

8 BALLS IN A ROW AND HE SWINGS AT 3 balls= unreal

[bighat]

Time for Castro to deliver or be flipped to the other side of the platoon!

[Doubles]

"Now do you take a pitch?"

 

"Fouled, for a strike."

 

"I guess not." 

[Mike Sixel]

I'm ready for Garver to take over fill time

[twinsnorth49]

Hey look, a hit with RISP.

 

Crazy. 

 

Try it again. 

[twinssporto]

BINGO!

 

I just got a Bingo! Any prizes?

Hey, Mr. North! Have you seen grass yet this year?

[youngtwinsfan]

Gameday says castro struck out swinging, and then says castro out on batter interference. Did something happen or was that just a mistake on their part?

[twinsnorth49]

 

Hey, Mr. North! Have you seen grass yet this year?

Grass?

Seems like Rosario should have a classmate for Situational Baseball 101.

Good call!

[twinsnorth49]

 

Good call!

See, not so hard. 

[USAFChief]

 

Grass?

Oh don't play innocent with us. Weed, dope, smoke. You know exactly what we mean.

[Blake]

Well, I'm assuming that since you live in the hinterlands of Canada and your internet is squirrel powered, and the squirrels have yet to come out of hibernation, that's why you've not been around. And since you've not been around, and the Twins have struggled, it's your fault.

 

[twinsnorth49]

Only took them 3.1 innings to figure out McCullers can't throw his fastball for a strike. 

[youngtwinsfan]

Maybe we get into the bullpen early here? 80 pitches, bases loaded, and a couple walks.

[twinsnorth49]

Not until July.......and that applies to both kinds oddly enough. 

[twinsnorth49]

McCullers has thrown 27 balls this inning and Rosario still almost swings on first pitch.......

Squirrels don't hibernate.

[Jerr]

ROSIE!!!!!!!

[Doubles]

 

BINGO!

I'll send one of our runners over to read back your card confirming your bingo.  Everyone please hold your cards.

 

This is not some podunk, willy-nilly bingo hall, pal.  

[bighat]

Oh heck yes, ROSARIO!

Stuggled? We watching the same team? 

 

And, are you from San Jose? My wifi is fine.

By early I assume you mean innings, not time. I live on the West coast, and I'm not sure this game will finish by bed time.
