The Yanks were complaining the other day that the M's were reading their signs from 2B and relaying it to the batters. They weren't upset but it, per se. Just saying that it was part of baseball.
I just watched the conference on the mounds and they were all holding their hands over their mouths like a bunch of Victorian prissies walking through the sewers of London holding hankies over their mouths.
Do teams really hire lip readers to figure out what players and coaches are saying? Is this really a thing?

Gil hung some off-speed pitches in the middle of the strike zone that inning. I wonder what would have happened if he'd thrown those to the Yankee hitters.
Every single game is going like this. Every. Single. One.

Leadoff single wasted. Fuck well at least no perfecto. Don't see where Cole fits in when returns. Whole rotation has been solid

Is it sad that I'm rooting for 2x 3-2 counts worked by M's batters that resulted in outs as if they were home runs?

Yea we don't have anyone that can hit hangers. Weak fouls or weak contact. Sux

What really sucks is Raley protected successfully on two pitches that broke a little outside and then whiffed on a hanging meatball.

I always find that silly as well...what they are saying isn't going to help the hitter any way. I mean what are they saying? I am going to throw a curve ball and then 2 fastballs and a slider???

WTF Calzone. You can't even give Gil credit on that K.

Currently traveling in Thailand and this is the first game I've been able to watch since early April. What a snoozefest. Should have just went to sleep. 2-0 feels like 10-0.

Day 2 of "we're going to shift lineups around to maximize taking advantage of matchups."
LOL holy fuck we're in the Twilight Zone.
