Have to get the bat off your shoulder there..

[drock2190]

This offense is unwatchable.

[Puckett34]

Is it weird that I want to see how low Florimon's average can get? His D is solid but, his offense is putrid.

[70charger]

New rule: Willingham is not allowed to dive for anything. Ever.

[JB_Iowa]

I've never taken a sleeping pill but somehow I think this game has a similar effect.

[Guest USAFChief]

What possible reason is there to call up Polanco to let him sit on the bench? Just to have the requisite number of people on the 25 man roster?

 

It's tough to watch this team make decisions some times.

You'd give Ryan a pass if he stood pat with 24?

[drock2190]

Between this putrid offense and pitching, along with not playing new and exciting rookie callups to inject some life in this offense....

 

I'm out of here. I'll be back for the minor league thread.

It's a bold strategy, lets see if it works out for him.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I see we're back to the Hyde version of the 2014 Twins' Jekyll & Hyde routine.

Wow, slow night tonight. Lately by the time I have caught up the game is over, but this time I can still make my comment on the opening post

Arlington is just a city south of Dallas and Ft. Worth

 

It's really right between the two, due west of Dallas, due east of Ft. Worth.

 

The State of Texas does have a rather vicious strain of a lethal disease called capital punishment that they haven't found a cure for.

That's not the disease, it's the cure.

I thought the cure was a band...

 

Anyway, 4 runs in 3 innings is not insurmountable.

When I heard the average on the radio it really struck home how less than ideal his average is. It is almost surreally low. I am beginning to think his valued defensive skills might not be enough to justify his less than optimum offense...

Certainly makes things interesting ... if not heartbreaking every other week.

Finally on vacay. And it'll be a staycay this time. I think I will sleep for most of it. Finish painting the bathroom ... which I started 3 years ago ... and finally order some new tile for the kitchen floor and back splash. Anyone know a good tiler in the Chicago area?

So you say there's hope?

 

Hyde's gonna crush the ball! Assuming he can lay off the slider out of the zone.

Good Luck!

[curt1965]

Correia hasn't pitched badly, other than the high number of pitches. At least he looks like he's interested....... It doesn't help when the offense sucks!

Not badly but not well, either.

[aggies4]

Man, Arcia looks so incredibly overmatched. Doesn't matter how far he can hit it if he rarely makes contact.

[70charger]

I'm in Atlanta for work, so I'm not blacked out on mlb.tv. I was so excited that I was going to get to watch a game live.

 

Then this game happened.

[stringer bell]

This is a game I thought the Twins would win, but the magical Nick Tepesch is shutting them down. Tomorrow they get Yu in midafternoon, should be fun.

[Guest USAFChief]

If you're going to call up a player with no intention of using him, isn't that essentially exactly what he just did?

[aggies4]

I didn't know Texas had lost 8 in a row coming in. Makes this worse.

[jokin]

Yeah...I think the term we're looking for is "Correia-esque"

[ashbury]

Depends on which side of the switch you happen to be sitting on.

I'm going to take that as 'no', then.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Polanco works the count full, then grounds to second.

[ashbury]

The comp is almost uncanny.

[70charger]

No first hit for Polanco, unfortunately. Nice that he's getting into games though.
