Kudos Joe Ryan for returning us to the days when starting pitchers were men. Joe tosses a 3 hit shutout and the Twins win 6-0.


Is that even legal?

The guy doing color for the Sux is some guy named Bill Burr. He's supposedly a stand up comic. The guy is trying desperately hard to be funny and just failing miserably.


Interesting. He's an extremely well respected comedian and actor.

Really? Never heard of him. He was seriously awful in the booth. Must not be his milieu.


He's very well known. But I've never been a fan. I can see where he'd be extremely annoying on a baseball broadcast.

It had been over 1,800 days since our last one. Berrios in 2018, I believe. I think the 2nd lowest on the list was like 700 days or something.

Now it's been zero days. Love this team! We're back!

He kept circling back to jokes about places for men to murder their wives. Minnesota made the list because there are 10,000 lakes to dump them in. Thick Boston accent too. Just thoroughly obnoxious.

Rocco needs to get tossed more; we won.


I'd prefer if he gets tossed during pre-game warm-ups.



More like tossed from the team.

Might be a false alarm. The tweet has been deleted.


They probably had to clear it with AARP first.

He was busy filming HUMANA and reverse mortgage commercials.


I hope the scoreboard falls on him during his minor league work.

PA just asked Kyle Farmer about his first hit with the Dodgers, which was a walk-off hit vs the Giants, if it was at Dodger Stadium or in San Francisco.


I'm kind of surprised that anyone still listens to PA. He became pretty much unlistenable about ten years ago.

Buggs Moran came in and lasted a third of an inning, gave up a run and they got him out of there before he could do any more damage. Lewis and Kepler homered to give the Twins enough offense.

Next closest guy is Ronald Acuna, batting .329. Next closest OB% is Juan Soto at .425.

Arraez leads all NL second basemen in all star balloting by nearly 175,000 votes.


Conversely, Pablo Lopez is 3-4 with a 4.40 ERA. As I said at the beginning, he's just a guy!

Stewart bailed him out.
If they had another average-plus RH reliever in the minors Moran would be gone. He provides little to nothing.

Yet continue to be 26th out of 30 teams in runs scored.

Moran is beyond worthless. They always bring him after the starter and he always gives up runs right away.

Fortunately Rocco had been ejected or Moran the Moron would have been left in the games .
