I'm listening, is it sparse on this cold night? 242,888 / 14 games played through May 2 = 17,349 per game played.

I'm thinking of going tomorrow via Stubhub if Billy Hamilton is in the starting lineup.

And just like that it's a tie ballgame.

 

 

I meant attendance right here in the game thread . Only 13 when I last looked. ?

Cease has had a 4-0 lead and 3-0 lead and blew both already this year.

Maybe Moncada gets it maybe not. It's certainly not a given but nothing wrong with Jakes defense or effort on that. It was double plain and simple.

Not the easiest play, but the ball went right under his glove, on the dive

He also hasn't gotten more than 19 guys out, in any start, so far.

Nick Gordon is the new Jake Cave.

We're letting Nick Gordon hit HRs....

Dylan Floyd lmao

Nick With 2 hr’s is pathetic pitch

Cease down to 3rd in the rotation in ERA, now...closing in on Kopech for 4th.

Alex Colome vindicated.

Yup and sometimes fly balls go right over your glove. Game of inches, still has nothing to do with his defense. He tried , couldn't get to where he needed to be fast enough. If he's playing 6 inches to his left or 6 inches back he might get it.

 Nick Gordon bombs Cease 4-3.

Sure feels like Cease at times has the mental fortitude of Gavin Floyd, for sure.

No reason to catch it, Yas. Just do what you wanna do.

Got it.

They played 14 home games through Tuesday. You're likely looking at 13 separate gate events, which includes a straight doubleheader to make up the rain out home game against Philadelphia two Mondays ago.

Nick Punto Denny Hocking Lew Ford Albert Blanco... although infinitely more athletic

Thanks for being stupid, Minnesota.

Limited lateral range and quickness... that's the consequence, losing those 50/50 balls other fielders make outs on. 

I’d bench Jeffers for that.  Just insanely stupid against a pitcher hugely struggling with your best hitters all up.

Missed hit and run? 

Certainly fellow catcher couldn't think Grandal is so oblivious he could just walk into 3rd?

The runner on first didn't go.

God I can't stand Grandal. He singlehandedly has turned this game around. Had a guy picked off 1st and couldn't make a throw. Then he calls for a fastball 1st pitch to Buxton. Cost us 3 runs.  Brilliant. I thought Cease looked unhittable in his 1st couple of starts when he was calling his own pitches. Does anyone know why they changed to Grandal calling pitches? And now a butchered passed ball. This guy was the worst waste of a long term deal (other than Kuechel) in recent history. Yeesh.

Burger has had a rough L15

Good lord man, that is basically a BP fastball down the middle, Burger. Have a game.

0-2 fastball right down the dick and the burger boy didn't swing.  Guess he's a little out of sorts right now.
