[Reider]

Averaging a home run every nine plate appearances is nice and all, but let's see him go the other way more and move runners with bunts and quality at bats before he takes away playing time from Kurt Suzuki.

Okay, lets do that.

[snepp]

You hip hoppers and your interweb slang.

 

Don't forget the basement-dwelling part, that's vital.

[Riverbrian]

I'm very nervous that someone on TD is going to be honking mad that Corriea was allowed to start the 8th.

[Fatt Crapps]

Lol

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Gibson, Nolasco, now Corriea have each put in good starts. This is encouraging. I'd like to see Corriea get out of this jam... Damn Plouffe just threw it into the outfield...

[snepp]

Attaboy Plouffesie.

 

 

 

Gotta love where this inning is heading. *yeesh*

[Gibby]

This seems to have become a trend.

[Riverbrian]

He tried!!! Plouffe Tried!!! I'm good with that.

 

However... He ain't Nolan Arenado or Brett Lawrie.

[twinscowboysbulls]

Pinto homer is pretty cool.

 

I think we have found a guy who can catch 75 games a year and DH a bunch more. Just need to find the catching partner for him long term. I think Arcia is DH when he is catching and in the OF when pinto isn't catching.

[Fatt Crapps]

Rex Hudler may be the worst broadcaster in all of baseball, but even he was right about something. Why was Plouffe playing so far back on the bunt attempt?

[LaBombo]

Plouffesie

[snepp]

Rex Hudler may be the worst broadcaster in all of baseball,

 

I don't think there's any "may" about it. He's ****ing terrible.

[twinscowboysbulls]

This happened a few times last year with KC. Disappointing that it's always handled the same way. BP is rested thanks to gib and rick. I leave KC in if those two starts didn't happen.

He was up on the grass and stepping forward. Positioning was alright in my opinion.

 

It was a good bunt

It's always a good day when Gardy has his "Twins Way" hand forced.

[LaBombo]

Okay, lets do that.

He's out-homering Babe Ruth. If his only two catching skills were calling for and catching only fastballs and throwing the ball back to the pitcher underhanded, he should see more time behind the plate than GadZukesie.

 

Was what I meant. Because sarc./snark helps me digest Twins baseball.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

7 innings, three runs for Corriea. Not bad at all.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I lived in LA for years. At one point, the Dodgers had Scully announcing. The Angels had Hudler.

 

It is not humanly possible to have a larger discrepancy between announcing talent in the same city.

[Craig Arko]

Buxton might have caught that, riding Secretariat.

[zchrz]

Well that reality came crashing down quickly

[Boom Boom]

Maybe Hicks could play a little deeper.

Agreed, but I thing zucchini is a tail-battler in his own right.
