Would Ian Kennedy help the Twins bullpen?

[h2oface]

That's clean up time Eddie. Especially after they walked Sano to get to you!

lol, now I have to look it up.

 

It is in Antigua though. Hang on, I'll find the name.

 

You'll get this one: 

 

 

Behind the Antigua mercado in the bus yard!  Watch yourself, those buses will run you over if you don't get out of the way!  I have a great pic collage of all the different bus names/logos from that bus yard, cool stuff.

I know this sounds horrible, but you are better off not feeding the strays. Feeding them helps their reproductive systems ... unless you are going to trap and spay/neuter ... it's actually not helpful to just keep feeding strays as it adds to the stray population. They also then become dependent on you for food.

Yeah if I could do it over again I wouldn't.

 

We're going to adopt mama and bring her to the USA with us, and spay/neuter the kittens and find them homes (when they're old enough). Assuming they become friendly.

I honestly loved that bus station and the mercado next to it. Such good photography, and all those tropical fruits you buy after taking people's pictures is totally worth it.

 

Okay, last one. This was both disconcerting and immensely cool to watch:

 

[FlauerPauer]

Just not good enough.

[USAFChief]

Thats 2 RBI hits from LH batters off Smeltzer.

 

Just doesn't have MLB stuff.

[Mill1634]

Smeltzer with back to back grade A F-bombs

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Rain.

 

Just after they evened the score...

[FlauerPauer]

Looks like it's just an isolated shower/thunderstorm.

[Aggies7]

Horrible timing for the twins and potty mouth smeltzer

[h2oface]

Sign of a good pitcher: Your team scores in the top of the inning.... you shut them down in the bottom of the inning.

[70charger]

"Smeltzer is probably a little bit perturbed with this..."

 

Ya think? I'm pretty sure he's the one who's been yelling the f bombs.

[Aggies7]

We’re gonna trade for a starting pitcher, right?

Are those better or worse than grade f a-bombs?

[wabene]

I like swearing

Trades are going to be interesting as you can only trade players on the 60 man roster according to Falvey.

 

I don't know how that's going to work with starters. It'll also be interesting to see who is available at the end of the month.

[Mill1634]

Good choice to go to Wisler after a weird situation like a 5 minute rain delay.

 

Talk about getting screwed over though

Would sano be a piece for someone?

We're getting Odorizzi back tomorrow, Bailey will be back soon, Hill might be toast. Dobnak's a keeper. Pineda will be back for September.

 

Who's trading their starters away? It seems like most teams are struggling to keep their starters healthy. And we have a very small pool of prospects to trade from, too.

Just floating it out there. Not overly confident in that rotation for the playoffs. This is the year to go all in IMO

I was going to suggest "We'll meet again" as a good rain delay song...
