You've got a little list?

Someone came around on him...

Welp, at least i can't blame the runner on 2nd rule for this...

Colome! We got yer back!

As expected.

Oh? Wonder who claims him now?

I am still trying to figure out what Astudillo is wearing....

Double play!

And that runner is a Dodger now?

Only time our runner on 2nd has scored was in Oakland on Buxton's dinger, right?

That'll do, Duffy! Sorry i don't have the Simpnos character image...

Ah, so we put him in at the start of the inning rather than late in it.

3-3 in.... what inning? 7th inning stretch.

I'm still waking up... Wait 'til i get going. Naps are weird.

Cheap building material?

Kirilloff is sure Larnach is ready?

3-0 after 2.

Astudillo! Ain't no passing craze.

2-0 after 1. Cleveland.... CBU

And Kepler stranded at second. His double might even have scored Arraez from first if he read it well and were still there... Ah well.

For those of you not watching, he tried to steel 2nd on full count. Donaldson took a strike, and it looked like Arraez beat the tag to the base (but close enough to go either way), but crumpled away from it due to injury.

I hope not. He let go of the bag in reaction to the injury, whatever it was.

Play ball!

I hope Polanco gets better soon. For some reason hearing the question, i was tempted to answer as though he wore glasses and a striped shirt in a pictoral kids book.

This is an early bird game thread intro, largely by necessity as i have something from noon to 2 and typically am foodening or driving up until game time. So today i promote the values of preparation. I am not entirely sure what they are, myself, so it is likely my means of doing so is by way of cautionary tale. I can't even post the line ups, it is so early. All i can say is Maeda and Bieber? Epic pitching match up. Hitters might not wish to fall behind. Swing early and often. Enjoy! Ps. Is it Duke of Earl, or Earl of Duke? Yes: Now keep those hits a-comin'! TWINS 1. Luis Arraez (L) 2B 2. Josh Donaldson (R ) 3B 3. Max Kepler (L) DH 4. Miguel Sano (R ) 1B 5. Alex Kirilloff (L) RF 6.
