And yet another opportunity for Mauer to help us out. Listen to the fans if he taps to second...

Anybody else notice the fans all yelling "Ploooooooooof" after Joe's latest clutch at bat.

 

Or did I misinterpret it?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

hope these long at-bats are contagious. . .

 

They say good fielding is catching...

 

Hitting might be different. I don't know.

 

But i too enjoyed those at bats, and hope there are more like 'em.

OH - that's why Gardy always wants at least three "catchers" - I think Antony is just confused by what Gardy is asking for.

Speakin' of which, at the beginnin' of the thread, 'twas noted Herrman was taken out of the Red Wings' game. I assume there's not yet a word on what happened?

 

And readin' the Rock Cats' game, sounds like they had a dramatic conclusion.

I think Herrmann was pulled from the game for an injury - sore wrist

[mikeee]

Hammer has been on in all 4 at bats!

[mikeee]

cue ball is up!

[JB_Iowa]

Time for Hrubel to HR.

[JB_Iowa]

Time for Hrubel to HR.

 

 

.... or not.

[Mike Sixel]

Why is kubel starting a MLB game?

[longstrangetrip]

Good morning, good afternoon, good night for Kubel.

 

Funny how after 2 terrible swings, Bert adjusted his request for a HR to a request for "a little flair somewhere"...Blyleven realism.

Thanks!

 

Sad to hear.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Dang - thought they were getting something started there...

[mikeee]

LOB = 9. owie

[WLFINN]

Nice to see Arcia and Willy puttin some punch in the lineup..much more enjoyable to follow

[mikeee]

Cotts is closing? no Soria?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cotts is closing? no Soria?

 

Pitching, yes. But closing? I guess, maybe. But Plouffe/Arcia/Willingham/even Kubel might have a say in the matter.

[mikeee]

ah, there he is... Up to the hammer now.

[JB_Iowa]

Hicks' back must not feel too bad.

[JB_Iowa]

Well, that isn't how a beautiful day at the ballpark should end for the home team.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hicks' back must not feel too bad.

 

I was actually wondering if it was fair game to use an early scratch as a late inning sub or not...

 

I guess i got my answer.

 

At least it wasn't a blow out...

[snepp]

0-2, where's Chief to fine him?

 

On a plane, he's going to fine him personally.

[LaBombo]

On a plane, he's going to fine him personally.

 

Unless onboard Snakes on a PlaneAir; might have to endure phone menu to stay safe instead.
