He’s only fought for the Twins so far this season.

Grandal doing his pitcher at-bat impersonation.

I know this team will be streaky, especially missing two key offensive pieces. But this streak of horrendous hitting is getting old.

Ways to fail: Rely on your starting pitching to win the game. Don’t worry about offense.

Horrible call on 3-0, but then Leury takes a 3-1 pitch down the middle.

WTF

Leadoff double doesn’t score. Piss poor situational hitting continues.

Soft-tossing lefty with a good slider. Could be a long night for the Sox. They need to not let him get to the slider with 2 strikes.

Moncada was hauling ass to get that ball. Even Stone complimented him.

It's a real concern. A lot of anti-vaxxers are most likely also anti-maskers. So, I would bet as soon as they heard the CDC's latest guidance they disposed of the masks knowing no one is going to challenge them. They'll never change, at least most won't, so it'll be up to the rest to get vaccinated so they won't matter (as much).

He already has twice.

I was surprised yesterday. I'd say about 30% or more of the employees were not wearing masks. My daughter knows a couple people that work there, and they said it's not mandatory for fully vaccinated employees. My son works at WalMart, and employees are still required to wear masks for now. I think we'll start to see more and more places drop the mask mandates, even though no one is checking to see if people are vaccinated. With close to 50% of the 16+ population fully vaccinated, I would think that the majority (more than half) of folks without masks are vaccinated.

Went to Mariano's yesterday. They now have a sign on the doors stating that masks are not required for fully vaccinated people. I wore mine in and wanted to see what percentage of folks were wearing masks before I made a decision. I'd say it was about 50/50. I eventually took my mask off, but it felt really weird not having on one.

I haven't started a game thread in a couple years. Hopefully this will get the Sox turned around. 7:10 PM first pitch. Kwang Hyun Kim (1-1, 2.73 ERA) vs. Lance Lynn (4-1, 1.55 ERA)

Hendriks was put into a near impossible position, but he needs to locate better. Bad series all around.

Need a magic act here.

Very difficult situation for Hendriks.

Sox getting their asses handed to them in NY is hopefully a wake up call.

Heuer is alive I see.

Yawn

Especially in the state this team is right now.

They had plenty of power, but about 70 HRs and 200 RBIs are on the shelf.

Even Steve Stone is getting pissed off about the DPs.

Team looks completely flat right now.

Ferfucksake.
