1. I'm not a huge fan of the sacrifice bunt, but when you have guys in your lineup that bat sub-.150 you'd think you'd consider it.

2. Today is the 18th … isn’t it!??

   I keep looking at the Cup headers for the past couple of days and then laughing wife my wife who thought the 18th was tomorrow. The 18th, today, is our anniversary.

   1. ack, sorry, i set this up around 1 in the morning and habit had me use the next day.

3. So, basically all we have left to root for is Luis and the batting title. Dude needs to go on a tear.

      1. Go Mariners!!

   2. Don't look now, but Judge is .001 behind Luis

      1. Sigh.

4. Hilariously, Oklahoma was only a 10.5 pt favorite yesterday at Nebraska.

   1. I'm sure Rows enjoyed that game. I know I did

      1. The schadenfreude was good on this one!

   2. Writers always have a stiffie for the helmet schools, I remember the pre-season poll before Scott Frost's first season and the Huskers were ranked something like 11. But Vegas is pretty cleared eyed when setting odds. So yes, that was hilarious.

      1. My cousin, who was an undergrad during the Tommie Frazier era, visits Vegas every August. Each time, he places a sizeable bet on the under for wins.

         1. Has he comfortably retired yet?

   3. Amazingly, two of the FOX "experts" on their pregame show predicted a Nebraska victory. I was just hoping they might make a game of it for the first half, and that was obviously way too optimistic.

5. hey, old guys:

   Ronny Henriquez has been added to the roster and set to make his major league debut. Born June 20, 2000 he would become the first #MNTwins player to appear in a game born in the 2000s. pic.twitter.com/Lix629cb1b
