Read JeffA's recap from the last game. It serves as a better intro than I can come up with. Though I heard Sano was taking grounders at third...

Suzuki! No more no-hitter too!
KURT SUZUKI HOME RUN
I dont know how to react
Mets-Nationals is on ESPN. I kind of love how Natitude (which was dumb) has turned into LOLNats.
The worst part of this is the foolishness among baseball writers that Cespedes should win MVP over Harper who is in the midst of one of the greatest seasons of all time.
I'll root for Harper until he inevitably puts on a Yankee uniform.
I hope he doesn't get the Trout treatment, someone who should have an MVP for every full season he's played ever.
of all time?
He's at 8.7 rWAR and that puts him on pace for about 10 wins this year. That would rank him 55th all time among position players.
second best by a 22 year old behind Ted Williams
I would be remiss if Trout's age 20 season wasn't mentioned since it's a few fractions better than Williams's age 22 and 23 season. Scanning through the list, those are the only two players on the 10+ win list at 22 or younger. I count four more at 23 (Cobb, Eddie Collins, Mays, and Ripken). If not historic, Harper at least has good company.
Did Pelf suddenly decide halfway through this game that he didn't really want t be a starter anymore?
Apparently.
At least Molitor had enough sense to give him a quick hook.
The Twins foolishly gave him a lead.
Its really hard to unintentionally walk Eddie Rosario.
I still believe in Casey Fien.
Heck of a play by Vargas.
Heh, nice play, Vargy.
I wish FSN would rotate play-by-play guys like they've been doing with color commentary.
But that would mean more Anthony LaPanta
And no one wants that.
I was thinking more like Provis or Attebury, but you're right, let's not risk it.
I could go for a Attebury/Smalley pairing.
hey, nice poke, Vargy.
crax.
should I leave before the inevitable walkoff loss here?
Jan (from Toyota) is already one of my least favorite characters in a commercial, but that spoof on beat poetry is my least favorite commercial running right now.
Duensing in. I don't have as good a feeling as I did the previous two innings.
Let's follow that up with a little bit of the man, the legend, Blaine Boyer.
Game #129? We're regressing
Seems like the company line is to make sure the Royals have a baserunner every inning.
My fault, folks. You can blame me.
It's going to be hilarious when they reverse the call after the call in Houston earlier this week.
Was that call at least reviewed?
indeed it was
Blaine Boyer just killed Kurt Suzuki.
It looked like Boyer might have been seeing if he had a shot at a double play?
Hope Suzuki is alright.
I think so. At least until he saw Dozier frantically pointing home.
I think so? He might have, but he made the right choice. Just a terrible throw
He was just continuing to practice throwing while looking in the opposite direction.
On replay, they had no chance at the DP there even if someone had covered second base.
Right. The runner was practically standing on the bag by the time Boyer turned around.
Jim Joyce's mustache is a national treasure.
Fact.

Evening fellas...so, Herrmann & Fryer?
The Twitter Doctors have already declared Kurt Suzuki's ACL torn. I think I'll wait until the team releases some info.
ACL...not ACL...torn...not torn...makes no difference -- schedule the TJ
And be sure to send the bill to Boyer, Blaine.
Heh.
We've got the Eduardo's up next inning; I'm spookying something, assuming we get there *knock on wood*
Still have Sano as a pinch hitter.
For Herrmann? We have fryer.
Moar Boyer fielding antics...no likey.
Well, i like that he was able to do it.
True
Buxton made that look a lot easier than it actually seemed to be.
"Chesler Cuthbert"? What, was Woodhouse unavailable?
He's still cleaning the pool
I was looking for a good ref. You nailed it.
Never a doubt.
Nice little outing by Boyer.
You know, for as few hits as the Twins have, it sure feels like they've squandered a lot of chances.
On the other hand, so far, they've made it through the best part of the Monarchs bullpen without losing.
"Bruised left knee" for Kurt.
Bruised knee. That's good news.
damnit.
Everybody creeps a little closer to the radio....
Now this was the true spooky.
it's not a spooky when you say it out loud/in print. Plus, EVERYONE was doing it! 🙂
Don't be modest.
A low throw to first that skips off the grass can actually pick up a little speed? I call BS, Dazzle.
you don't have my cell number, do you?
I remember Chip Caray talking about the turf at the Metrodome about how the ball would pick up speed at it slipped into the outfield.
These people have a bad grasp of physics.
Woah
YESSSSS!
SANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOONONONONONONONOOOOOOOO!!!!
It's so fun having a JI JIM back
SA NONO
I don't believe it.
DON'T. BELIEVE. IT.
Believe it.
We CAN have nice things!

Eduardo Sano?
when you are spookying "something," you are almost always correct.
He just wanted an excuse to play that excellent Dusty vid.
You're on to me
No complaints here.
TWINS BASEBALL!!
Heh heh heh.
Pretty obvious balk there. Don't know what KC is getting so upset about (other than the third strike then home run thing...never mind, I get it)
Heh heh heh.
They can't complain. Same thing happened to Cotts in the sixth. Two on and two out and had a strike on the inside corner called a ball, but he came back and got the out.
Thanks for the gift, Blue!
I think Sano Lidge'd Morales.
Howzabout a little bull, Dozier?
Where did Sano's ball land?
Still waiting.
Somewhere over the
rainbowbullpen.That never would have happened under Gardy. He never would have pinch hit for his second catcher, especially in a tie game on the road. I love that Molly is pulling out all the stops and not worrying about the very remote chance of an injury to Fryer.
I was thinking this same thing as Sano stepped to bat. When I was talking about pinch hiring for Herrmann last inning, it never occurred to me that he'd actually do it.
I mostly love it because it worked.
Please let the Tigers hire Gardy...
Puppies. Fireworks.
Sheesh. Heart Attack Jepsen strikes again.
I'd be more scared if Dyson put it on the ground.
YEHAW!
I almost missed the end of the game. I was watching delayed on my Roku when I noticed there was a lot of game left after the sixth inning, so I went to the page where you can choose which inning to go to and it said F/11 and I figured it meant the game ended in the 11th. I watched the top of the 11th and decided I didn't want to watch the Royals win it. I came online instead to see the game story of how they won and saw the game was still going, so I was able to watch the 12th inning live. That was fun.
Btw, what's with all the pinch running and defensive moves by Yost in a tie game? Thank you for making sure nothing but bat hitters faced Jepsen in the 12th. That's what Royals fans should be mad about, that and not having a RH reliever available to face Miguel Sano in extra innings. I bet if the Royals had a RH reliever up in the pen, Molitor wouldn't bother to bat Sano for Herrmann.
Kevin Jepsen, on the foregone conclusion to the Miguel Sano at bat.
Mariners working on a 1 hitter against the Rangers.
That gets my nod for game of the year so far, Sano is a beast. And Texas trails Seattle 0-6 going to the bottom of the 8th. September baseball rocks.
Over the seven-run comeback capped by the Dozier homer? Okay, I have to seek this out.
I sought this one out. Not near the comeback, but still, a lot of fun.
Agreed. I think the comeback ranks higher because they scored seven runs in the bottom of the ninth. Checking the WPA graph for the comeback, the Twins only had a 33% chance of winning when Dozier homer. In last night's game, the Twins still had a 40% chance.
Oh man, that Detroit graph is so beautiful.
Anyway, yeah, in addition to the insurmountable odds of that game, some of us here will definitely be biased towards it anwyay from being in attendance. As soon as Mauer got that hit, you could feel something special happening. It was nuts.
That said, last night might have been a more important dramatic win considering the point in the season.
Mariners finish off combined 1-hitter of Rangers. Angels take 1-run lead on Dodgers in the 8th.
