I remember that play. No question. Hrbek literally lifted Gant off the bag. I just looked it up. Drew Coble was the umpire. It was in the top of the third inning and the Twins were leading, 2-1. It was third out of the inning and Lonnie Smith was left stranded on third base. The Twins won the game, 3-2, and the series, 4-3. Here's more: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3500259623561523
I had to take leave from the game for dinner. And, hey, WE WON!
Old Skuball was a race horse…
How sweet it is.
Pages’ glove comes through!
Phew-HOO!!!
Wow. Nice game. Way to battle and hang in there boys. Awesome job by the bullpen.
OK, but now their best hitter.
Walk him!
Oh man. Tense.
We’re not getting the close calls.
They're not close.
Ball two was a strike all day long
for the Tigers.
Finally got the No. 9 hitter!
He might benefit from that.
Well, he is not doing anyone any good where he is now.
Ok Hudson.
Guillermo!
Lux continues to be a huge disapppointment.
Yes. I won't be surprised if he is traded. Or sent to OKC after the deadline. He is a mess.
Don't think they can send him to OKC without his permission. Not likely to bring much of anything in trade.
I think he still has options.
Stupid bounce
Shohei double!
I wish it had been Dodgers, but A's have filleted Fillies 6-2.
I sure would love Outman to find his swing here.
CT3 goes the other way!
Those first pitch balls called for strikes are killing us.
Changes the whole AB.
Petersen did really well.
Scoop said it! We need runs!
Yes!
I really appreciate Miggy.
He's been outstanding, doing whatever's asked of him – and more.
I attended a game a few in Detroit a few years ago when my daughter was living in Ann Arbor, but I'd have rather gone to Tiger Stadium.
Checking in. I'm at a Billy Joel concert in Denver.
A's now riding Fillies 6-2 in eighth.
1-2-3 please!
Runs, we want runs!
Ump loves calling that a strike.
Teo comes thru. Woot.
Teo ties!
Or as Eric writes Tieoscar.
Two challenges in one inning!
Thanks NYC!
Orel talking stupidity about staying on bag or not.
Yeah, don’t agree with him. Runners pop off because they try to take advantage by sliding late. There should be consequences.
First base and home are something entirely different.
Popped off the bag.
But not pushed off as Rojas was.
Here’s hoping that we win at least one before the All-Star break.
Very surprised that’s not an error.
It was routine.
Homer scorer.
So sloppy, CT3.
From a really good defensive player. I thought that was automatic.
Of course Vargas used to be our second baseman and CT3 our left fielder.
He played that extremely well.
Both he’s.
But not that he on that one.
Tarik almost always comes in under 95 pitches in his outings, so we may be rid of him after the 6th.
OK, time to overtake Stewball.
they don’t have a fearsome offense, thank goodness.
Yo-Han!!
Up to our weary bullpen.
From the Rox reject.
Another seeing eye single. Just our luck.
Could have done without that fielding gem by Baez.
Can't hit a lick any more, but…
There we go.
3 good PA’s in a row
Nice, Freddie!!!!
What was that?
Ha! Freddie!
Pages" defense has deteriorated. He looked lost on Canha's ball.
Does seem a bit lost.
CF is definitely not his best position.
Making mincemeat outta us.
Goodness.
Maybe the bottom three will get us going. It could happen, right?
They tried yesterday, no?
Top of the order big guns have not been producing.
I guess I’ll do my weights. Should get a good sweat going watching another Dodger game.
Yep. Bitten by the free pass, again.
Thrice bitten, Twice scored.
To the No. 9 hitter, a Rox reject.
Paxton, no more walks, please!
When Paxton misses, he's missing by a lot.
This pitcher is a handful
Better than anybody the Fillies put out there.
Javier Baez was some player back in the day.
His OPS is worse than Taylor's.
I think I could get him out now.
Paxton has no idea where the ball is going.
We are so bad right now.
Here we go again. Sigh.
In this race, Dodgers need to finish ahead of Stewball.

Today in Dodgers History
July 12th
1949 The first All-Star Game featuring black players occurs at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field. Dodgers Roy Campanella, Jackie Robinson, and Don Newcombe represent the National League in an 11-7 loss to Indians outfielder Larry Doby and his AL teammates.
1966 The National League All-Stars edge the AL, 2-1, in a game played at the newly-built Busch Stadium when hometown favorite Tim McCarver scores the winning run on Dodger shortstop Maury Wills's tenth-inning walk-off single, with Giants hurler Gaylord Perry getting the victory by tossing a scoreless ninth and tenth inning. The 105-degree weather and the 113 degrees on the playing surface cause nearly 150 people to need treatment for heat exhaustion.
2016 Before the All-State Game at Petco Park, Major League Baseball announces that the leagues' batting championships will be named to honor two Hall of Famers known for their offensive prowess, Tony Gwynn (NL) and Rod Carew (AL). The late Padres' legend Gwynn, a career .338 hitter, shares the record with the Pirates' Honus Wagner with eight NL batting titles, and Carew, a lifetime .328 hitter, hit over .300 for 15 consecutive seasons (1969-83) while playing for the Twins and Angels.
I’m taking a little walk.
Seems to be the fashion.
Teo ! Tie game!
A's are taming the Fillies, 4-2 in the seventh.

Believe or not, there was once an even worse play than Rojas's getting lifted off the bag yesterday. https://x.com/nut_history/status/1811374158116209089
