Never would have guessed Burger only 10 ops points behind Robert at this point.

If everything holds it would Guardians and Sox both 4 games behind the Twins at +7 and -1.

Two double plays the key for Lopez and Graveman... Just don't like the 4 run lead then having to bring Hendriks in with runners on base.

Guess the feed in US is a couple minutes ahead.

Uh oh. There's trouble here.

Well that would be even more egregious...somehow.

Burger shouldn't be playing 2B at the big league level.

Following in the tradition of Damaso Marte and Matty Thornton...

Internet problems in China. Who woulda guessed it?

It can never be easy with this team.

It can never be easy with this team.

It can never be easy with this team.

Better to give up two run bomb than walk. Aiyo.

Wow a clutch hit against his old team. That must be satisfying. Lux slipped or really close at home with Abreu.

Ethical dilemmas...cheering for Donaldson to strike out against Twins.

He's going to get inevitably get exposed as an everyday player.

Price in.

Can we at least pretend to tag up to get a potentially errant throw from Bellinger? Mendick hesitant now after last week. Can't even move the runner into scoring position. Sheesh.

Could have had Escobar instead. 1.1 fWAR.

Reynaldo Lopez warming up. 1-2-3 set down in order for 5th time.

No choice. Bullpen can't cover all those innings unless you want to surrender the game.

4/39 must be the worst MLB stretch with bases loaded for any team over a two month stretch in history.

But the pitchers have a big differential pitching to McGuire...especially the high leverage guys. Plus Grandal can't even catch more than 50-60% of the time.

At age 34, and with his injury history, absolutely nothing is a surprise.
