WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTT???!!!

ETA (again): Where does the shortstop stand?

 

Wherever he wants.  If the ball is hit to him, the runner had better avoid him.  If he's not trying to field a batted ball, he needs to get out of the way of the runner.

Boyer seems to be serving up one meatball after another.

 

What else would  you expect from Chef Boyer-Dee?

Haha, that's a much more detailed response than I got back in 2011 when I first asked that question.

Please let me read tomorrow that Boyer is sent to Rochester.

Why would you wish that on the good people of Rochester?  (Wherever he goes, please let Nunez be on the same bus.)

[formerly33]

 

Boyer has to go. 

I relayed that message to Molly. He just saw it.

Maybe the bar tonight.

I'm thinking retirement.....

I'm thinking retirement.....

Reminds me of another veteran player who retired around this time of the year last year... a certain embarrassment who mulled over retirement earlier in his career.

Loss in Chicago

Thus ends the first Twins road trip.

Now Target field bound!

 

Thanks all!

Great job SSOO...much appreciated!

[USAFChief]

No slight intended SSO. Just miss Brian's pearls of wisdom. I always thought he did his best work when his mind was empty, by the way!It certainly was a Sisyphean effort by Brian the last few years.

Hey now...just cause RB needs a break from 162 game thread intros is no reason to call him a Sisy.

Hey, no prob! 

 

My pleasure.  And sorry if my feather's got ruffled a wee bit.  I didn't mind a few extra posts to get to the 1k mark.

 

Feel free to sign me up for next games when everyone else has gone once, or something like that.

In the meantime, it is nice to be off the creative hook, as it were. And if i think i'm ready for more long term commitment, i can always adopt a prospect...

[JB_Iowa]

Well, SSOO intimidated me. Will someone please crash and burn posting game threads before the Seattle series so I'm not the first?

 

As for the game, I had never-ending visitors again this afternoon. I leave the game (muted) on but somehow posting seems a bit rude. And I'm trying to avoid the type of language that I wanted to use.

[Platoon]

If one team drops three easy fly balls, and the other runs into two stupid outs, and then throws home to late to get the runner by about ten feet, is it still MLB?

When did the Twins get a new bullpen car?
