As someone who likes bunting and stealing bases and all... Not sure I understand having someone who is streaking bunt to bring up a guy who is slumping.

Oh well. All's well when a run scores.

That's true.  You don't simply "do", it's your specialty!

And now Arraez. Great job by the bottom of the order, and then the top of the order doing their job. 

[Nine of twelve]

Get 'em on, get 'em over, get 'em in.

The K is a good place to watch a game. Enjoy!

Indeed. It was excellent before renovations, but the updates have made it excellenter. I can’t think of another good stadium where the changes enhanced the experience as much as in Kansas City. A few years ago, I took some nice photos from the outfield concourse, shooting through the fountains. 

Only downside to the park that I can see is that it appears there’s no longer a Gates & Sons on the food list.

I try to take it one game thread at a time. Stay within myself...not try to do too much. Just get fingers to keyboard and put the joke in play, something good may happen. 

[Sielk]

The fine old art of small ball... ?

Always great to have a two-run lead, in any fashion. Don't see too many sac bunts from the Twins, though. 

[stringer bell]

Good swings the second time through the  order. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

2 steps forward...

1 back.

You do it well.  No shame in that!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Let's hear it for tall short stops!

Yeah, instead of GIDP he's only hitting into fielder's choices.

You were saying?

What a fantastic play by Correa

[Brock Beauchamp]

Carlos Correa is a pretty decent athlete. 

[Melissa]

Witt Jr. hits another FC … Correa omg

Rhythm comes to mind.  I don't got any.

Long as Ryan has his, i'm content.

 

On a side note does anyone know about a dictionary of rhythm?

Yeah, Carlos needed every inch of his 6'4" there. ? Great play.

Apologies. I should have known better. Sorry, Joe.

They will just have to extend the lead again. That's not a great way to do it, though. Man, I hate double plays when the Twins hit into one.

I'm still looking for a synonym of 'thesaurus'.

[PDX Twin]

Ouch! That strike three was really strike 3, but cruel on the hitter!

[IndianaTwin]

Adley Rutschman sighting in Baltimore tonight, by the way. Check out him getting the news…

[UpstateNewYorker]

If memory serves Bobby WItt Sr pitched for Texas and a few other teams. 

[Aggies7]

Rocco worries about injuries like my late grandma did. “Are you hurt are you hurt?”

[PDX Twin]

I love Jeffers because he is intense, but he always looks like he is enjoying himself.

Just because there’s no math doesn’t mean you can trot out science. Is that an avian or a non-avian dinosaur? 

[IndianaTwin]

Angel? Is that you back there, Angel? Schwarber wouldn’t have liked that call.

If Cleveland gets that call, is he a Guardian Angel?
