Is Plouffe responsible for Dozier's sore back, too?

 

And Mauer's extended slump.

[howeda7]

Why in the world do you pitch to Ortiz here?

[Gibby]

There would be nothing wrong with that.

[Guest USAFChief]

Surprised they pitched to Ortiz, didn't like the 0-2 pitch at all, but it worked.

 

Another outstanding outing from Hughes.

It's possible. You'd have to ask Dozier.

[snepp]

Bullet: Dodged

[howeda7]

And Mauer's extended slump.

 

I blame Morneau for that.

Twins caught a break on the Pedroia hit. Finally the wall causes an out (in an obscure and contested fashion...)

Willingham takes a lot of heat for his D, but more often than not I see him making good plays.

I agree. And he's got a good accurate arm most of the time. Not elegant or flashy, but gets the job done.

Me too, It does surprise me to see how non-athletic he is though.

He fields like he's trying to not step on the flowers.

[drock2190]

How many strikeouts in a row?

[Gibby]

OMG. This is over.

[howeda7]

Morales looks like crap all of the sudden and Arica's just blindly swinging at everything.

[snepp]

Meh.

[JB_Iowa]

Meh, meh.

[Guest USAFChief]

These last three games have put a severe strain on the rubber band.

 

Not to mention my disposition.

 

Edit: Oh well, we'll always have last Friday night.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

 

Thanks for company.

I've been drinking beer and cooking fajitas, so how irked could I really be?

[JB_Iowa]

Spending another night watching weather. Photos of new tornados tonight -- northeast of the big one yesterday.

 

That's enough of this now.

Are we going to get nailed? I was thinking about venturing out on foot.

[JB_Iowa]

Unless you are venturing out for the entire night, I think you're in good shape.

 

Still southwest of me -- its in northeast NE -- should take a long time to move northeast. Looks pretty clear to the north and east of me for now.

 

So have a good walk.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Frustrating for sure but I'll take a string of low scoring one run losses over the clown car pitching performances of April (or 2013) any day.

[JB_Iowa]

It does look like most rain will stay south of the TC.

Well, we wanted good pitching -- and we're getting that.

 

Now if the bats would come alive. Maybe they need some sacrificial chickens.

[Gibby]

That's merciful. I'm spending the next week in Orlando. I'm sure I'll see more rain than I can handle anyway.

What I don't get, is we do great against great pitchers. It's the bubble guys we cant touch.

It looks like you may get some rain after midnight.

I'm an Arcia guy, but I wouldn't be adverse to a little trip to Rochester for him. He needs a little bit of humility. Doesn't look like he has a plan at the plate. Don't think he has had a hit since May! Unfortunately, there are no other options. Twins OF is a mess right now, IMO.
