[Nine of twelve]

 

I'd love to see Miguel square up one of those 98's.

...Please, I ask, return the favor, and don't everyone keep banging the same drum over and over as we have (more than justly) done the past couple of days....

We don’t play Houston for a while yet.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Twins brought their spectacles, they’re watching some of those closely

Its called “pitch take poker” to see if the pitcher will throw me the same thing next at bat

Welcome to the club—I assumed you were already a member!

Thats what I would say too if I struck out looking at a 98 mph fastball right down the middle

[bighat]

It's just not that much fun watching a team that strikes out 20 times per game. Put the ball in play for godsakes.

[ScrapTheNickname]

At least one lost isn't the equivalent of 2.7 losses as it was last year. I'm glad that over.

[USAFChief]

All the K's are...mind numbing.

You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched bats when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Twin when the game is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! [stops suddenly, strikes out, dons a Golden Sombrero]

I swore off alcohol for the pandemic, so I guess I should watch more of these games.

 

[ashbury]

Wow. That was quick. Thanks Jose!

[Mill1634]

What an inning from Jose...complete dominance

Berrios is dealing

[Danchat]

I was thinking "wow, this game is going fast", but it still took 30 minutes to get through 2 innings, which would lead to reaching the 9th inning at the 3 hour mark... man, I wish baseball games could be quicker.

What you should do is get vaccinated.

 

Bottom's up!!

A few more innings and we'll be safe in the fireswamp.

Pitcher's duel.

Oh, I don’t know. It’s fine if the Brewers keep whiffing.

How about a ground out. Please someone make contact!

Bum advice.

Lulling the fielders into a sense of security.

Is this a True/False question?

 

(Edit: let me explain to people why this is funny...)

[Mill1634]

If you ever have someone ask why baseball is dying, show them the past inning and a half. My god. 

[USAFChief]

[Danchat]

Berrios' mission at the plate there looked to be to draw as many pitches as possible. Well, it worked!

[bighat]

6 strikeouts in a row. Not sure if Im more bored or angry. 50/50. Bangry, maybe.

[Danchat]

 

Check your math.

 

 

Whoops, that was a brain fart! 8 * 30 minutes = 2 hours, not 3!!

Spot on. Horrific and unwatchable.
