This Elias fellow is pitching pretty well

This Deduno fellow pitching pretty well.

Not exactly making him work last inning.

 

Deduno looking good.

[Craig Arko]

This Elias fellow is pitching pretty well

 

He should have a sports bureau named after him.

[ashbury]

Maybe, but that was a tough "half hop".

 

Yes, but that is part of the job description in the want ads I see on Craig's List for "First Baseman".

 

I'd like to think Mauer will take about 300 practice short-hops thrown by the bat boy three hours before tomorrow's game, of his own accord. "Hey Trevor. Grab a lawn chair, and watch. I owe you."

[Craig Arko]

I wonder if TK is going to leak any spoilers for next week's episode.

[stringer bell]

The timing for a Zuke trade isn't good right now. Obviously his value now would be high, but he's needed by the Twins. I kind of like the O's backup, so perhaps an exchange of catchers plus a prospect might be good for both teams.

[twinsnorth49]

Hicks, getting it done.

[Squirrel]

Wooohoooo!

[snepp]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DOZIERZIE!

 

 

 

 

 

*all-caps

[Squirrel]

My guy!

[ScottyB]

Hicks with a 4-game hitting streak??!!

 

And Dozier with another bomb!!

[Beezer07]

Dozier is absolutely amazing this year

[Craig Arko]

Mr. Dozier, all-star.

[ashbury]

Dozier!

[Squirrel]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DOZIERZIE!

 

 

 

 

 

*all-caps

Hey, how'd you do that!

[twinsnorth49]

Dozier!!!!!! With the lob sand wedge!!

[Squirrel]

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO*

 

 

​*This is a test

[ashbury]

Hicks with a 4-game hitting streak??!!

 

Joltin' Aarin'?

[stringer bell]

Bert: "Wow, is he hot!" I'm sure Chi-Town agrees.

[Squirrel]

Brock, thank you! Why didn't you tell me we could do this?

[ashbury]

Left and center fielders agree: Dozier >> Mauer

[ashbury]

Hey, how'd you do that!

 

IT'S RIGHT THERE IN PLAIN SIGHT.

 

/ edit - and this is a further hint for whoever may not have caught on yet

[twinsnorth49]

Next week... on a very special episode of As The Twins Turn... the team travels to San Francisco and one of the players has a difficult admission to make...

It's Joe. He's bilateral.

[snepp]

Sacrificial lowercase letters.

You never want to trade the players who bring the best return, and always want to trade the players return the least. Zuke had been fun to watch, played very well. If he'll net a good return, trade him. There's depth behind Zuke and Pinto.
