(He popped up, in case anyone was wondering, which wasn't exactly the it to which i referred)

Oh yeah, and an Astro hit a solo shot im the mean time, so is 2-0 deficit.

Berrios thru 5 of the 7 inning double header night cap against Boston. Up 1-0, 70 pitches, 4 Ks, no walks, all singles. Gotta go to another game to watch Twins these days..... or at least Twins I really like.

Thanks for the update!

Typical Pineda start. If his team averages 5+ runs a game, he has done enough. Alas, the Twins don’t look like they will score at all today. 

Stymied are we.

 

But we still got 3 innings left.

Good to see Pineda get the sixth.

Before the deadline I had wanted the Twins to aim higher when looking for pitching for 2022, but the way things are going sure why not bring him back for another season

Cave!

I got no problem with bringing him back.

Don't know. Had the same association myself, just too lazy to look it up...

Nothing worthy of mention on wikipedia, so probably not. And before i speculate how far we are willing to trace the Gant family tree, i will confess it would just be a set up for a bad Gant Tree pun.

Guess that's why it's called a double. Doubled the Astros' score.

Brothers from other mothers, you're saying?

Last chance.

 

And the number of runs to get to the bottom of this (inning) is 4.

Five to win it in regulation, four to win it in extras.

That was mean. La Tortuga's a nice guy - why get his hopes up like that?

It could be a good deal. When he totally tanks and is a liability for even AAA, he could be the mascot. It might be a bit of an overpay then, but they would save money on the costume because Astudillo wouldn't need one!

Dinner's ready. (For the chickens.)

The most merciful thing: They did not draw it out any longer than necissary, 

 

Please let the chicken go. Its services will no longer be required.

I'm baffled on how Polanco was called out on a ball that was clearly foul.

Yup, that looked foul to me too.

They showed a replay right after and it clearly hit foul right away. The first base ump made the call on it when it should have been the home umps call. And I know that the play isn't able to be challenged but seriously this was a blown call. There should be an ump in the booth because this would have been a 10 second overrule.
