It is a wonder how Schoop and Grossman last year did very well  and this year, are struggling; do not say age as Cabrera is doing just the opposite this year.

Perkins just said about calling pitches: "All that matters is the opinion of the umpire." We need electronic pitch calling, because then all that will matter is whether the pitch went through the strike zone. As god intended.

Okay, phew, back … not sure what I’d do if I couldn’t watch JRy pitch!

Every player has a different life span … and this is Cabrera’s last year … making the most of it

I don't think you would.  It gets a little personal and vulgar.

That doesn't qualify as not negative then.

Depends on your point of view and how touchy you are.

I was... hence the 40% comment in the intro.

But thanks for bringinging it up, so i didn't have to feel like i was obsessing over a detail.

There's only one way to find out, I guess.

All I'm asking for is to enjoy the game, not to endure endless negativity.

Fitting that Cabrera and Pujols retire together, IMHO. Two best right handed hitters I’ve ever seen. (I saw Aaron and Mays…but they were well past their prime.) ‘Generational’ doesn’t do them justice.

Nice DP turned right there....

wow, great catch

My game feed crapped out ?

Nice AB Luis

ignore

A stolen base?  By a Twin?!?

 

MOAR!!!!

When I went this stadium the wall was the original one and flag pole was in play

If Ryan gets this 3rd out soon are the gonna let him face the order 3 times?? Seems to be pitching well and getting some K's.

The chemistry isn't there (obviously), but this PxP has been pretty dang good for a fill in.

Hope so.  Fewer outs this pen need get the better.

I think with Ryan and Gray, and Bundy on a good day, they have been letting them go longer … but we’ll see

Kepler is one of the most stubborn hitters I've ever seen.  tim and time again he hits into the defensive shift.  Even faling a bunt, once in a while, would open things up.  He doesn't hit the ball over the fielders to keep trying to beat the shift.  Not a team  player from the plate.

OK, Joe Ryan, runner on 3 with 0 out. Let's see what you've got.

deja vu, baby

 

Hmmm. I thought the procedure was to make a challenge by having the pitcher come to a set and throw to 2.

What kind of ******** is going on here

Missed it but it wont be overturned

The decision to challenge that call was questionable at best.
