Pelfrey 2014 or Pelfrey 2015?

'14, should have clarified. Pelf has been a bit less, shall we say "labourious" this year.

[twinsnorth49]

Really making Garza work out there today..................

[twinsnorth49]

Joe Mauer> Speed.

[mnsportsgeek]

So much for giving Graham 75 pitches.

[Danchat]

 

I don't think Hicks should be in the two-hole. I'd put Robinson there over him.

I don't get why Robinson is in the #2 spot. He's a 4th outfielder and he's not hitting like he was in April.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

So much for giving Graham 75 pitches.

this will go from ugly to uglier, if Pressley cannot retire anyone

[USAFChief]

Pressly may need 75 before he throws a strike.

[Ultima Ratio]

I really don't know if I've ever seen three walks on 12 pitches -- in  a row. Wow.

[Craig Arko]

Pressly pitches his way to Rochester and back.

[stringer bell]

No damage done. I hope they can get three from Pressly.

[D. Hocking]

 

I would rather bring back Nishi to bat clean up.

 

You not a fan of Braun or just a really, really big fan of Nishi and his baseball instincts?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

This inning starting off well...

 

Maybe we have got Garza's number (pssst. it's 22)

 

Bases loaded after singles to center from Hunter and Rosario, and Garza doesn't get Herrmann's sacrifice...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Big things happening!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Darn it Hicks

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

0-1 to Santana..., safety squeeze???

He deserved a better fate after that AB.

Such language.

Well sure, there's that.

[Danchat]

Dang it, Santana. 

Is it just me, or do the Twins always blow a bases loaded with no outs situation? It seems like they ALWAYS get zero runs.

 

I think it's time to try AAA, Santana.

[USAFChief]

 

Such language.

I $**#(#(ing held back.  I'm a mod...supposed to set a %^^##((@ $*$*(( **#* example.

Well, the plus side of holding back and setting an example is what's left to the imagination.

[Blake]

 

Nice job, Blake!  Thanks!

Thank you.

No he didn't. He had numerous pitches to put in the air to the outfield, and he couldn't do it. He can't hit - this is what happens.

[USAFChief]

 

No he didn't. He had numerous pitches to put in the air to the outfield, and he couldn't do it. He can't hit - this is what happens.

And he ended up hitting the ball fairly hard.  That's what happens, sometimes.

[JB_Iowa]

Kevin Gorg's yelling woke me up just in time for the Twins last 1/2 inning. 

 

Kind of wish I had slept through it.

 

[drivlikejehu]

It was an ordinary infield grounder. With Santana, it's that or a strikeout almost every time, not sometimes.

[USAFChief]

Why would you sacrifice here?

 

Oh, I forgot.  Shane Robinson.
