Looks like it's just you and I, @ashbury lol

Got a beer bottle, let's clink them.

Strasburg is obviously very good but he's also given up at least 4 runs in 9 of his 29 starts.

If he has a slightly off night, who knows what might happen?

And then there is Perez.

Wonder if Strasburg opts out of his contract. Should the Twins be interested if he does?

More bad luck than good in the first. Eaton's ball was perfectly placed, more than hard hit, Soto's single just out of Polanco's reach and and 14 hopper from Zimmerman. Dozier hit the ball on the nose.

Which ignores the first two baserunners, and is kind of my point, above. You put yourself at the mercy of luck.

 

Arraez with good wheels down the first base line after Rendon bobbled it.

Rendon double clutched. That made the difference.

Looked like he lost it in his glove. I'll take that difference

Take care of those hands (paws) SQUIRREL!

That was the pitch to hammer. Nice swing, just missed it.

 

 

To Victory.

Hate when the home plate ump doesn't check with the first or third base ump...

C'mon Turtle!

I saw that as a failed check-swing, live and also in the replay. It's not just the wrists. The bat passed beyond the front of the plate. Too much shoulder movement to save it.

Don't know how many chances they'll get.

Positive outlook: Twins made Strasburg throw a bunch of pitches.

At least they made Strasburg throw almost 30 pitches. Could get into that porous Washington pen early tonight.

Oh it was a strike. He went, but still, doesn't hurt to check, right? Takes two seconds.

Marney's recap of why Perez did so well in Boston rings just a bit hollow at this point in the game.

 

I'm still confused.

 

_{^{/ no I'm not, but I'm worried you said too much and am trying to add an anti-anti-anti-jinx.}}

I'm against anti-jinx jinxes because I'm opposed to them.

Strasburg throws 29 pitches in first inning.

 

Like the set of steak knives in Glengarry Glen Ross, I suppose that’s a nice consolation

 

Oh it was a strike. He went.

Well you and I should submit our resumes to FSN, because Dick and Justin were moaning. You decent on PbP? I probably serve better in the color job.

Unassailable logic.

Approximately 8 more, unless they're leading by end of the top half of the ninth.

When I am not ninja’d ?

It's early yet. Might actually be positive compared to what may happen in later innings.

I've done it for high school basketball for a buddy once, lol

Better second for Martín.

As good as Arraez is with the bat, when he plays second, I really miss Schoop's fielding. Dude is slick and pretty much makes all the plays that are hit to him.
