I'm not sure what to make of this but... It's kinda funny... I type a game set up and get 2 likes.

 

Later on I type that I'm not going to write another one and I get 7 likes.

 

Coincidence?

 

Nah...I'll go with causality.

[Riverbrian]

Cheap... And because I just feel cool!

 

"In response to LaBombo's question... Which I failed to quote for smooth understanding.

[Ultima Ratio]

Mauer swings at first pitch fastball in RBI situation, pulls line drive double into RF corner.

 

Coincidence?

 

And…. I missed it? That's like missing the blood moons this year.

[D. Hocking]

I'm sure this has been covered before, but yesterday it was new to me....

 

In Joe Mauer's "fun fact" when he's up to bat, it says that if he wasn't a baseball player, he'd be a carpenter.

 

Surely he's just having fun with us, right?

 

It is Joe Mauer -- team prankster and wild and crazy guy. Is there even any doubt that he is just having fun with us?

[JB_Iowa]

 

The TD'ers are trying to tell me something but I'm not sure what it is.

 

I was too busy looking up the Hobo Haus to "like" the setup.

Karen or Richard?

[MichiganTwins]

Mauer seems to be progressing at first base

Well, if it was because he was following his daddy's occupation, it would have gone with his previous nickname (which seems to have dimmed somewhat).

[sampleSizeOfOne]

glunn, snepp... Very clever, but not falling for it. Good try, but clearly...

 

http://gifatron.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/its_a_trap.gif

 

Torn between clever, but not particularly relevant responses...

 

"Hughes will have that shield down! We gotta give him more time!"

 

or

 

"I always think everything is a trap. That's probably why I'm still alive..."

[Ultima Ratio]

He'd still benefit from some seasoning in AAA to work on it.

 

 

 

 

((ducks))

[Riverbrian]

So... Do we still like Baker? Or do we wish he slips in the rain and falls in a puddle?

[Guest USAFChief]

Yes.

[cmathewson]

It was a spectacular catch... Why not enjoy it and leave it at that? To my knowledge, nobody has said his defense warrants a demotion. It's mostly people saying his defense has been inconsistent, with web gems like that one, followed by routes on balls over his head that resemble a man attempting to evade a drone strike.

 

I don't know. He didn't take a good route on that ball. Got turned around and was lucky to catch it at all. We get that a lot around here. Won't name any names. You know who you are.

[Riverbrian]

Oops

[Beezer07]

The Twins offense lately also makes me sad emoticon

Whoa Whoa Whoa. Now it's eight years old when Hicksie started switch-hitting?

 

Bleeping DSL internet. Projected Hicks/Twins future totally blown...

Yeah that's a hit... In the different galaxy that is MLB baseball.

[Guest USAFChief]

Timely. Now a sac fly and we're out of the inning.

I didn't see the catch... I hope to see it in the highlights.

 

I love good defense and I'm sure it would have brightened my day.

 

I didn't see it so I got ask... Did Dick call it Flanominull?

Hughes is sooooooo totally to blame for giving up that run. Right?

[cmathewson]

How many games has Parmelee played in left field in his career?

Ah Yeah... Of Course. There is always a goat to be scaped.

[cmathewson]

Before tonight, he played in one game out there in 2012.

No idea about little league... High school or the minors. But the MLB answer is Two

[Riverbrian]

Ahh... You knew the answer... It was rhetorical.

 

I fell right into your trap.

[Guest USAFChief]

It appeared to me that was Escobar's ball all the way. He called it, he was under it, and on the replay I didn't see Parmelee calling him off. The replay was short, so it's possible Parmelee called him off before the replay started.

 

But from what was visible, IMO that's on Escobar, and it's not like he had to make a real tough play to get there. He was camped under it.

[Ultima Ratio]

Didn't matter for Doumit….

 

Escobar

Bartlett

Santana (has he in LF?)

 

So why should we care that Parm hasn't either. This is company culture at this point.
