Yup. Quick throw from Arcia in Right to Santana at 2nd base was called safe originally, but overturned after a challenge.

Suzuki on base with a strange demonstration of conservation of momentum: Ball off his elbow, into the catcher's mask. Catcher's mask flies off, and ball drops to the ground. And then Suzuki gets thrown out at second, presumably on a take and run call? Oh well.

Did i just see what i thought i saw? A strike out on a foul tip, where the glove fell off Suzuki's hand. (Oh, and a tie game on another solo dinger... an offset fence post, rather than strictly matching. Why can't we have nice things?)

Matching goose eggs halfway through the fourth... (Well, the fourth has yet to be matched.) Good little pitchers duel so far.

Skinny is good. Leastwise, it isn't inherently bad. Here's to running circles around 'em!

Schafer makes a few nice catches out there.

I was wondering... is "in scoring position" a misnomer, if they never score?

i don't know either, it being missed and all. But the game isn't quite out of hand yet...

Congrats to Dozier as well. I am optimistic we can make up 1 run...

Not that i'm sure i get it either, but speculate it is some complex linguistical humor where "fine" operates as both an adjective and a verb. That said, I'm wondering how people get their hands on tomorrow's paper, as some of those are intriguing...

Looks like he did it. What does he get? A spent?

Ode to the infield single...

What are they batting? (My mistake... sheep produce wool, not goats.)

Then Bourn went and got a double. And scored on a wilde pitch? Alas, it was only a pen-ultimatum... (And i can't say anything about jokes bein' bad without pleading the 5th) Anyway, we still got a run lead. Feels so clingy all of a sudden.

Maybe it's a baby elephant? Have you heard a baby elephant walk? More likely they're just thinking ahead. Says something about the prevalence of bulk discounts in the modern day. Anyway, yeah, i hope Dozier deslumpifies too.

Oh well. 4-6 sounds a little better than the previous scores of the game. G'night!

That-a-Plouffe (and Vargas and Arcia for getting on base) We now have at least set up a save situation....

Is there any other way to dream? Reminds me of a line from Harvey to the effect of "because no one brings anything small into a bar."

i'd be satisfied with other players also following his example.

Well done, Oswaldo!

Did it just work? That may also have been the reason to put Vargas behind Mauer... We want a little more of that sort of stuff to get back in the game.

Meaningful late innings. Could the be harbinger for meaningful Septembers?

Fisher King (Actually don't think i've seen Good Morning Vietnam, so i should)

Kids are more surface area for tattoos. Not that i think that's really a good idea, or a justification... Just making an observation.

Wow. Escobar doubled his double?
