Gold glover Trevor Larnach!!!!!!!

Rocco manages as if the season is 5 years long. I wouldn't be shocked at all to see Rocco "resting" guys on September 20th in a tight playoff race. He just has zero urgency.

I still like him as our manager but he's way too much of a players' manager for my taste.

I agree with the first paragraph.

Yeah, Sands isn’t ready for this level. He’s being put in an unfortunate situation.

Like...

the back seat of Volkswagon?

Great catch by Larnach, but why the hell is he starting on the warning track against a guy with 13 career homers?

Because he watched the first inning like the rest of us?

Larnach is a far better fielder than I ever would have imagined him to be.

He noticed who was pitching.

All things being equal, wouldn’t you go with the guy with more ML experience? Could have turned out exactly the same but that’s how I’d lean

Yeah, I agree. You're more than likely getting the same exact results, but I don't really care if I wreck a guy like Aaron Sanchez's confidence, where that isn't the case with Sands

Lay out, max

Sure looked like Kepler could have caught that one had he put forth the same effort as Larnach.

In regards to the Reds' Tyler Mahle

Yeah, and diving for that ball would have been well worth the risk. Allowing Judge to hit with a man on base is a big no-no.

Hey that’s a darn good inning, have to say 

Big time confidence booster for Sands! Congrats on striking out the hottest hitter in baseball!

Could be a home run if it gets past him, I think he played it right

Way to fight back Sands! nice K on Judge ?

Is everyone else shut out of mlb.tv too? even though it's the "free game of the day"?

 

Yep, guess they thought I would drive 220 miles to watch this debacle??‍♂️

I can't believe Bumgarner is only 32

Blackouts have nothing to do with in-person attendance, it's to protect the cable providers.

We just don’t want to show the Yanks our best three pitchers, right??

Blackouts for me usually mean I drank too much

Huh. For me, too little.

Embarrassing to watch as a fan, we aren’t talking real serious life here lol

Nope. I just don't get that way anymore. And, it's pretty hard to tell from most of the posts here people don't take it real life serious. 

 

Twins will miss the lefty Shane, but will face a great right hander this weekend.

 

This umpire can’t be squeezing sands, come on now 

Donaldson looks so much more natural in a NY uni.

I can’t stomach that dude

How about a classic GIDP from old friend Josh?

Nope. Dang it. 

Ugh wanted Donaldson to go 0fer
