Was this something that was planned or did something happen?

I hated losing Povich even more after I saw what he did in first start in the O's system.

Even then I'd say he's a long-shot. Rosters don't expand nearly as much as they used to.

I might have said we will need a couple of touchdowns. I asked for insurance runs today and we got them. Tomorrow I want two touchdowns worth of runs (with the two-point conversions.) I promise to not be all doom and gloom when Pagan comes in to hold that 4-run lead...

I'm glad we won because I had chicken in advance.

Gonna need a couple of touchdowns

Pitches

Must not be reviewable, because I don't think that no-call would have stood.

He tried his best - fastball down the middle. Buxton's bat just managed to dodge it.

I couldn't find all of the conversation, but there are not 30 years in between (because AD is not what many people think.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_Domini

That didn't take long. I should try that more often. A few more insurance runs would be nice.

Still having a lead is good. You can call it that if you want. Adding some insurance would be nice.

It must be that they are just allowed to designate one guy to drive them in for the game. (Way to go Jorge!)

And yet the Twins are still holding on to first. It just seems like if Correa, Buxton, or Polanco get hot, it could be contagious and the Twins could just steamroll the rest of the division.

Is that still legal?

Agreed. We didn't win. They lost.

For the record, I posted that after the play where Cave was safe at first, but before the last play.

Laying down a bunt is also our kryptonite. I guess when you aren't Superman, everything is Kryptonite. Infield defense might be theirs.

You can't?

I think you are losing that argument

That thirst strike the to Buxton was so right down the middle it crossed up the catcher. He tried to frame it to the outside, then to the inside, then finally just threw it around.

I hadn't heard of him before today, so forgive me if I hold off on agreeing until he has at least two at-bat's above low-A. For all I know, he just swung hard with his eyes closed and got lucky.

Yeah, I'm sure we will have to find a prospect in our mid-20s range. Lucky for us, that prospect was in our mid-30s range just last week.

If he keeps looking there he's never going to find it.

You were not alone
