1. POLANCO!!!

2. I feel a little sorry for the Royals starter--but not enough to hope he starts getting people out.

3. Ex-Twins news: Sounds like the Phillies have fired infield coach Juan Castro.

4. Blue Jays up 3-0, Mariners down 0-2, Red Sox down 0-1, and Yankees scoreless.

5. I'd like to see Jorge Polanco get a couple more RBIs, and them both be Luis.

6. Nicky Lopez not channeling his inner Ted Williams.

7. George Springer grand slam.

   Jays up 9-1

8. How many outs are the Twins going to make their pitchers get this inning?

9. BUXTON!!!!!!!

   1. That's all I wanted to see.

10. 4Bux need one more HR for 20 this season

11. I'm surprised ESPN is not airing MLB games today

    1. I don't think the people at ESPN care very much about baseball. And, unfortunately, the ratings kind of justify that.

       1. Also, I think TBS has the rights to a Sunday afternoon baseball package, so maybe ESPN couldn't have aired a game even if they wanted to.

       2. I forgot TBS has Sunday afternoon games

12. Bearclaw

13. Barraclough was cool.

14. Simmons' PH preserves Rooker's perfect day.

15. What a disappointing Rays' game

16. Alcala one pitch off of an immaculate inning.

17. Yankees won so no four-way tie. Mariners down four runs and Red Sox tied late so still possiblity for a tie between Jays and Red Sox.

18. I'm surprised the Twins managed to miss 90 wins losses. They finish in last place of the division, a single game behind the Royals.

    1. I mean, they missed 90 wins by kind of a lot…

       1. Oops. Less surprised by that after April finished.

19. Twins season in 20-game chunks:

    Games 143-162 - 10-10
    Games 123-142 - 9-11
    Games 103-122 - 11-9
    Games 83-102 - 9-11
    Games 63-82 - 9-11
    Games 43-62 - 11-9
    Games 23-42 - 7-13
    Games 3-22 - 6-14

20. The Yankees and Red Sox clinching at the expense of the Blue Jays and Mariners is preeeeetty much the worst baseball birthday I’ve ever had. Well…at least one of them will only get one postseason game…?

    1. Boooooooooo!
