I've spent about two weeks in Austin this year. We walked into a couple of hole-in-the-wall barbeques walking around downtown and the food was excellent.

The rand-o places are the best! I mean Guy Fieri built a whole career on that fact

This is why you don’t punt on a game in the 6th inning

Bingo!

I actually don't mind the lineup.  I am more irritated we left Cano in to die in a one run game.

That and Kepler's putrid at-bat.

Sure, there are larger bungles than what was written in pencil. To an extent I don't mind it that much either, but maybe that's because I've been conditioned to expect these kind of Sunday lineups. If I get to nitpick, it'd be nice if Buxton and Correa were staggered.

[h2oface]

Good thing Baldelli left Cano in for so long (for KC fans that is). At least the rest of the team isn't giving up on the game.

[CRF]

Imagine if Rocco didn't plan on losing this game?

[bighat]

Alright here comes Correa!

Rocco was saving him just for this!

[shortround81]

Is Biggie Smalls on this team? "Don't Call It A Comeback"

I sit on the other end of that.  I'd rather rest them the same day and get as many days with both in the lineup as possible.  Just my preference, no major argument or evidence behind it.

[glunn]

It would be nice to see Buxton bat if Correa gets on base.

Ditto

Rocco did give up on this game in the 6th. I’m sure the program told him his odds of winning were slim, so might as well let them have it. Good job boss

[Aggies7]

What a complete meltdown by KC 

[Vanimal46]

Still alive! Let’s go Celestino! 

[bighat]

Ridiculous that Buxton isn't PH'ing for Celestino here. Only the Twins would leave him on the bench.

Feels kinda weird when the KC manager just concedes these games, eh?

Expand  

I mean, if you want to compare cano and Barlow I won’t stop you. This is their third pitching change of the inning so not really conceding anything 

[glunn]

This game has become very winnable!

[Vanimal46]

BASES LOADED. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. COME ON ARRAEZ!

[bighat]

If I could pick any Twin to have up right now, it'd be Luis Arraez.

Let's Go!

Can’t do it. It’s Buxton’s day off.

Celestino is having a helluva game.  I'm not sitting him for Buck there either.  Now..when Larnach comes around again in a key spot?

Yeah, then I am.

Clarke started this whole mess. Should have kept their foot on the gas and play their best relievers.

No one would likely use their best reliever in a 6 run game going into the 8th inning.

[bighat]

Another TERRIBLE strike call by this home plate ump.

[bighat]

Twice now. Unreal.

[TheLeviathan]

Woof, robo umps please.

[Unwinder]

Is there some way we could get umps that are "robo" in some way?
