Jeff Locke is doing a nice job taking advantage of 3-4 extra inches off the inside corner to righties. Haren isn't getting the same calls, unfortunately

I think KC lit the proverbial fire under Toronto's ***.

No, the Twins just suck.

I'm talking more about their level of intensity, but what you say is also true.

8 walks, 10 hits....4 runs.

It's the same old song and dance.

Yasiel Puig is an idiot and ran us out of another inning.

He might as well stand directly on the base at this point and not move until the ball is in play.

Ugh, bases loaded and couldn't plate anyone.

Braves owner Liberty Media disclosed Wednesday that the team’s revenue declined by $14 million in the first half of this year, compared to the same period last year.

Liberty, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, said the drop was “primarily due to lower game attendance, decreased concession sales and fewer (home) games played” through June 30.

The Braves had played 35 home games at that point, compared to 39 through the same date last year. Attendance is down by an average of about 3,800 per game.

In its filing, Liberty also disclosed these financial details regarding the team:

• For the new Cobb County stadium project, the Braves had borrowed approximately $185 million through June 30 from two credit facilities with a capacity of $350 million. The team had spent about $169 million on the stadium and adjacent mixed-use development through June.

• The Braves, as of June 30, had long-term guaranteed contracts with players and coaches totaling $59 million in 2016, $61 million in 2017, $54 million in 2018 and $105 million thereafter.

In related news, Braves stink.

Y'know who's name should be next to "W/L record means diddly squat"? Drew Hutchison.

He pitched another stinker but still, gets the W. The Jays made the Twins top pitching prospect look BAAAAD tonight

He's definitely not the Twins top pitching prospect. And I really have no idea why he started this game.

Ah ok, that's the impression I got watching the game here and from some snippets of MLB Tonight.

I apologize, apparently he didn't have his passport and his father had to get it and drove him all the way to Toronto!
