I had just rewound the MLB.tv feed, looking to compare to the first inning. I don't like the looks of it, tbh.

 

But, TJS scares me, and I'll never be able to sit back and relax. I know it's just a phobia. Can't help it. Every time Big Mike shakes his arm like trying to work some kink out, I'm worried.

So what you're saying is that you're worried after literally every pitch he throws.

[PDX Twin]

That was a homerun in a certain ballpark in New England.

[Don Walcott]

Yet another great AB by Arraez.

I’m dumb.

[Don Walcott]

I’m dumb.

Or just neurotic.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Or just neurotic.

[ashbury]

Or just neurotic.

Yeah, I've always had lots of anxiety about catching that disease.

[ashbury]

Lindor. Uffda.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

That was still rising when it passed the flagpoles.

[PDX Twin]

Why are we grooving pitches to the heart of their order?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Big Mike getting hammered pretty hard

[PDX Twin]

Do Puigs go "ouink, ouink"?

[operation mindcrime]

Why are we giving Lindor a pitch to crush? I thought we'd learned our lesson with Mookie!

[GCTF]

Plutko.

 

Sounds vaguely dirty.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Justin sounds like he’s trying to talk himself into Pineda pitching well

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Nice pitch big Mike

Big Mike getting hammered pretty hard

 

Couple hard-hit balls, Lindor really got a hold of one. Aside from that he seems like he's pitching pretty well to me.

 

More noticeably, over the past 24 innings, the Twins have just managed to scratch together 4 runs. Only two hits yesterday, as well.

 

Offense is definitely struggling and not playing well.

[ashbury]

 

"Right in the wallet, Suh."

[bighat]

Bad strike 1 call there on Eddie.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Even when Sano strikes out like that, it’s such a testament to how far he has come in the past two months.

[operation mindcrime]

ARRAEZ!!!!!!!!!!!

[bighat]

Attaboy Cron, big hit!

[ashbury]

Cron comes through!

[operation mindcrime]

CROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[operation mindcrime]

Where's Garver?

[ashbury]

Where's Garver?

Pining for the fjords.

I was shopping at Wal-Mart one day and noticed

a little old lady kept following me around.

 

I stopped, she stopped. Furthermore, she kept staring at me and smiling.

She finally overtook me at the checkout, and she turned

to me and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease;

it's just that you look so much like my late son."

 

I answered, "That's okay."

 

"I know it's silly, but if you'd call out 'Good bye, Mom,' as

I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy."

 

She then went through the checkout, and as she was on

her way out of the store, I called out, "Goodbye, Mom."

 

The little old lady waved, and smiled back at me 

Pleased that I had brought a little sunshine into

someone's day, I turned to pay for my groceries.

"That will be $121.85," said the clerk.

"WHAT?! *#%#** I only bought 5 things!!"

 

The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd be paying for her things, too."

[Blake]

 

Cron comes through!

As expected.

the few pitches he’s left over have gotten tagged real hard. He’s not getting away with mistakes. Pitching well overall
