Cowser by two innings from now:

Gausman has the strung out John Hawkes look from 'Winters Bone' going on. Good movie, btw.

Thank God it's pride month! You go Moose. For the humor impaired, please ignore this post.

This ump sucks. 

And water is wet. 

I just don't understand all the low strike calls from umps this year.

You see how tall a player is and where his knees are when he walks up to the plate.  You've normally got a while to do so before he sinks into his batter's crouch.  It's not like he's growing and shrinking in height during the at bat.  🤷‍♂️

They changed a bunch up there. 

The whole stadium looks different. Still not top of my bucket list of stadiums.

Westburg so solid at 3rd. Unlike say the SS on occasion?

Oh no. Now I’m going to be hearing that all game. Thanks! 😆

Arnold: Gausman delivers, ball outside.
Brach: You know it seems like he throws a lot of balls outside to start of at bats
Arnold: It's 1-0.
Brach: Back when I pitched it was 1-0 a lot.
Arnold: The delivery.. Flyball to RF, Santander gets under for the the first out.
Brach: Santander is a good outfielder, he really gets under flyballs well
Arnold: Aw, look at that kid with some cotton candy
Brach: When I played kids always ate cotton candy!

What drove me crazy in that AB is that Gausman put two fastballs in an identical place, clearly outside to Gunnar. The first was called a ball, the second called a strike. A clear example of why Robo Ump is important.

      They likely sell out for a 7pm game. Tough schedule being at 4pm but that coupled with how bad/boring they have been the last 3 months, it’s not surprising they didn’t sell out. The excitement is just way down this year for good reason and that’s on the team, not the fans. Nobody wants to go watch your favorite team struggle to get 5 hits and 3 runs. You can watch that on the TV for free.

      Just a casual reminder that prior to the two very good performances in those definitely meaningful games in MIN, Jackson had a .325 OPS in his 45 previous PAs. In that same rough timeframe, he also had three arguable late-inning gaffes (two fielding, one baserunning) that changed and/or cost us games. I get that we’re feeling desperate, but…forcing him into the lineup over Westburg or Urias feels like an ultimate panic move.

      Put me in the Holliday at second column for today.  Bat him ninth and cross your fingers he keeps last weekend's improvements going. I think we need someone from out of nowhere to get going if we want to do anything in the playoffs - Holliday certainly on the list of candidates for that, along w/ Kjerstad.  Who knows maybe Holliday is ready to break out and become our Evan Carter for the rest of 2024.  Worth a shot after yesterday's abysmal performance. Henderson Westburg (moves to 3B obviously) O'hearn (1b) Santander Cowser Mullins Kjerstad (DH) Rutschman Holliday   That's a lot of lefties in a row, but that can be abated somewhat with pinch hitting later in the game, if needed - Mountcastle/Slater/Rivera/Urias is not a terrible RH bench and any combo can hit for Kjerstad or Holliday or Mullins. Have to move Rutsch down.

      Not disagreeing with you, but need to point out that San Diego has done a lot of winning lately, almost catching the Dodgers. That gives your fans a lot of faith to show up for a playoff game.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      The ball Mullins hit.  Was the wind blowing in yesterday because I thought it was gone off the bat?

      I live in South Carolina so it's not a convenient drive, but I did buy ALCS tickets right away last year (obviously that didn't pan out) but didn't purchase any tickets (yet) this year. I could see myself making the drive up if they happened to win the next two for a ALDS or ALCS game. But with how the team has performed the last half of the year I can honestly say I was significantly less excited this year than last.  Of course, I did watch every pitch and followed all the reports and media leading up to the game so I'm still invested, but it's certainly a bit different.

      Gunnar isn’t going anywhere for at least 4 more years after this. I’m all for signing him longterm. Whether Gunnar is signed or not has nothing to do with how they played down the stretch. If he had a 10 year deal that doesn’t make him or anyone else better.    From a fan standpoint clearly inking a home grown star to a longterm deal will go a long ways. I am hopeful new ownership will do these things.
