Eddie's just not squaring it up like he did in April and May. Finishes the season with 26 HR maybe?

 

I can't remember the last time I saw him hit a double.

LOL! I doubt it. He's ranked 3rd in the AL with 19 homers and 2nd in RBI's with 52.  If he only hit 7 homers in the next 90 games it will most likely be injury related.

Just curious, what is the opposite of “boom stick”?

 

asking for a friend

Boom slip.

 

Or maybe it is the same thing, it just how ya use it. Tacking vs. Jibing.

Wow, gotta hand it to mike there.

 

You are clearly copying me now... Working that hard to come up with nothing... just like I did. 

 

 

You're just jealous because patent office awarded me the trademark...

I thought for sure when Sano was down 0-2 he would make some weak half-swing at the final pitch of the at bat.

 

He did.

Miguel finally caught a break on that check swing!

That was a good call, no swing, and Sano has talent, but if you’re not concerned with Sano-sie’s perpetual check swings...

Porcello has gotten away with so many pitches we’ve crushed all year long.

Yesterday I was ripping on Gladden as an analyst. Case in point:

 

Discussing Porcello making adjustments in how long he holds the set position, he says...

"There's nothing legal about it, as long as he comes to a stop."

 

Dan, "nothing legal" means that you CAN'T do it, not that you can.

 

Two Cunningham fumbles, and also a kneel down with like a minute left in regulation

Oh, and the kick.

On the plus side, we've cut way down on runners left on base and in scoring position compared to yesterday.

 

 

 

This is why I'm not on the Positive Thinking Committee at work.

Rick freaking Porcello, who knew?

wow... good old fashioned pitchers duel. Too bad Berrios is the guy who has given up a run. 

ok that crosses the line, somebody contact a moderator

 

 

(Yes I know no discussion of ...

apologies

There’s a reason Gonzalez and Castro saw pitches over the plate there and Sano didn’t.

Yeah. In most other games we'd still be waiting for Kepler's home run off that last meatball Porcello threw him, but instead it was a smash out to first.

Rick freaking Porcello, who knew?

His agent? His mom?

 

You're just jealous because patent office awarded me the trademark...

 

I walked in the patent office and I said to the clerk. "This office is easily recognizable as an office... Clearly and obviously this is an office.  

 

Security threw me out.  

 

So Yeah... I'm a little jealous. 

 

Rick freaking Porcello, who knew?

 

The FSN peeps had a pretty good idea, because they put together a graphic showing how Porcie had owned the Twins over his last 6 starts against them. I was kinda hoping that meant we were due, but it turns out that I'm wrong. A lot.

They pinch hit for Castro in roughly the same situation Sunday. Castro is (was?) hitting well and we’re at a point in the season where you just let Castro hit.

Let's go Rangers!!!!

Need some hits this inning

What a performance. Get him a run or two, you mopes.

Who knew our #2 pitcher could almost act like an ace...WOW!

Berrios pitched like a madman. Props.

Berrios is filthy! Best game of the year for him, incredible stuff.

 

Time for the offense to do its thing. Hate to waste a great pitching performance.

Berrios pitched like an ace today...against a good lineup. Good to see.

 

Berrios is filthy! Best game of the year for him, incredible stuff.

 

now let's hope the O gives him a win... or at the very least a no decision. hits and bombas… in that order.
