This mustache really ties the room together

[Muppet]

I’d be scared to see what this guy looks like without his mustache.

Royce continues to hit ball hard

Platform shoes are the equivalent of silicone implants.

I always wanted to try it at least once, ever since seeing I'm gonna git you sucka (with goldfish, of course)

 

but yeah. My minimal experience with even slightly raised footwear leads me to believe i would be extremely satisfied very quickly, and not do it again.

Miranda is so lost. Just in swing mode. He's been making contact, but not good contact. Needs to get to STP ASAP.

It was a valued mustache...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

C'mon! Get Lewis in!

[Nine of twelve]

Beautiful bunt.

Concur.  He's got to be in a not-very-good head space right now.

And he's putting his team into not-very-good advancing runners mode, too.

Busy day between classes again- but good to see Dylan Bundy got through 2.1 innings before the implosion began. 

[USAFChief]

I have had time to grow a mustache from scratch watching Bundy pitch.

Shows what i know.

You would have had to grow it like this:

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We didn't get a run in when we had runners at the corners...

 

But neither did they.

 

When was the last time symmetry solved something?

It's the Spongebob Movie, the character Dennis played by Alec Baldwin.

What is STP? A baseball hospital? They have the Twins' best baseball coaches there? Maybe a guru with baseballs tattooed on both arms and one butt cheek? Do they like chant and rub their tummies? Or is it more like a treatment center? Is it open to the public because I haven't been able to hit a slider for at least ten years now.

[Muppet]

Kepler on first. 2 out. Celestine and Lewis up next. If there was ever a time to steal second… this is the one. They won’t do it.

[Buffy the Twins Fan]

Oh wow just realized Royce's double had an EV of 111.7!! He is mashing!

I'll go with St Paul.

I don’t think a non twins/a’s fan would sit through any of the games these two teams have played. These are some mediocre, and worse yet, boring teams

[Mill1634]

Moving Winder to the pen for Smeltzer in the rotation is ass backwards

[Mill1634]

Jake Cave approves of that dive

[Buffy the Twins Fan]

Wow Max was so close!! That would have been crazy

[Vanimal46]

One guy continuously yelling let’s go Oakland is driving me up the wall. 

[Mill1634]

Welp

[USAFChief]

 A 2-0 Deficit feels insurmountable. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wait...

Kevin Smith plays for Oakland?

 

Really?!

 

[Aggies7]

I would point out that the A’s have the 11th best ERA in baseball but then I realized they’ve played about 13% of their games against the twins
