So, where does it lay*? Is it on the front office**? The manager***? The offense****?
*"lie"?... no, I'm pretty sure it's "lay".
**Actually, for once I don't think so.
***Wasn't homeboy supposed to be one of the best baserunners evah? Sure hasn't translated.
****At the very least, I know it's not on my beloved Eds.

June 17, 2018: The Rose
Eddie got a walk, then 4 hits off of 4 pitches. He also made some running and fielding blunders. Like Molitor said, “He’s just going to do things. Kind of the way it is. Most of them are good.”

June 16, 2018: Klubbed
In Joe's return, the Twins forced Kulber out of the game relatively quickly, and after a small rough patch managed to shoot the arrow. All this against the squad that we're trying to suck less than to get into first place.
Anyone know how I'm supposed to feel about this team?
