Farm goes 4-0 again . 2 nights in a row.

Lots of good news in the farm system today at least.

I think Balta explained it at one point. Like he was only 1 of 2 who qualified or something like that.

Haul doesn't seem like the right word. He'd have to be very good to just get a nice return. He's pitching well now but a long way to go till the TDL and plenty of good teams he'll be facing.

You know bad umpiring isn't all on the catcher. Maldonado while batting took a 1st pitch strike that looked 6 or more inches off the plate. That was a pitch that framing had nothing to do with as are many bad balls and strike calls. Sticking up for bad umpiring is ludicrous . All the bad umpiring scorecards aren't dependent on how a catcher frames it, only on bad calls. If an ump needs a catcher to frame it properly to call a strike then they are worthless.

LOL I was just thinking BBB .. Byron Buxton Bomb upcoming.

Back to a 1 run game.

Benetendi. That's amore !

When you're 3-19 you don't expect to win this game.

Maldonado is bad enough without the ump starting him off with a strike on a pitch that might have been the worst strike call of the year, of which there have been plenty.

Vaughn has a bit of a hitch in his swing. Hands still in one spot then pulls then back before he swings.

12 , 8 of 11 and tied career high with 10 K.

11 in a row by Fedde, 7 of the last 10 by K. 9 K now ,1 behind his career high.

That's Fedduccine to you Mr. Spaghetti !

The Twins announcer even said "Twins catch another break."

Wasn't close ump !!

A 3 run HR ? who are these guys ?

@Harold's Leg Lift⁸

Mason Miller, closer for the A's hit 103.3 mph while striking out Volpe, Soto and Judge.

Granny incoming !!!

9 - 5. What a way to make living.

JR JR JR JR JR JR. How many difference making free agents can u sign when ajj JR allows you to sign are C level free agents.

Gotta agree with you. Hate on JR all day long. But the players were just looking for jobs and there are guys on the team we should want to do well.

Don't want to stick up for the mess JR created but we all knew this team would be a mess and the best bets for surprise seasons usually come from the pitching be it a break out younger pitcher or a rebounding dumpster dive. Getz knew what he was getting, a bunch of projects and some decent defensive players who couldn't hit. There's a difference between what you do and what you are able to do. Maybe I could've kept this post shorter by just saying JR 10 times.

No hurry
