[Blake]

 

We told you once already, this is the Argument Thread.

And the abuse thread is the next door over.

Suzuki sucks so hard

[Craig Arko]

Suzuki sucks so hard

Suzuki has been way over-used.

[Craig Arko]

And the abuse thread is the next door over.

And you can stick that fork up all of them.

[Linus]

He's so slow to get in the throwing position. Looks like a grandpa

[Danchat]

It looks like teams have finally gotten the scouting report on Suzuki - he can't throw out baserunners.

[ashbury]

CBU say

 

2 home runs are more than 1 home run.

 

2-1 heading into the 3rd.

It's sort of interesting to have it go this way after our lengthy pre-game discussion of sacrifices.

[Craig Arko]

Kick me for saying this; I wonder what the Braves would want for AJ?

[jimmer]

 

Suzuki has been way over-used.

going into today he was on pace for 126 starts

[SwainZag]

No it isn't.

Oh well, his contract is guaranteed for only another 1.5 seasons.

[Monkeypaws]

 

Aaron Hicks playing well bodes ill for Oswaldo's chance to wear a Twins uniform next year.

Just read the Oliva bio by Henninger.

 

I had no idea, but Tony was an awful outfielder initially - through A LOT of hard work, he made himself a gold glover by his 3rd season. He was probably more agile than Oswaldo, but Arcia is good enough of an athlete to get at least average.

[ashbury]

No it isn't.

DON'T GIVE ME THAT, YOU SNOTTY-FACED HEAP OF ORIOLE DROPPINGS! SHUT YOUR FESTERING GOB, YOU YANKEE! YOUR WHITE SOX LOVING TYPE MAKES ME PUKE! YOU VACUOUS TOFFEE-NOSED MALODOROUS PERVERT OF A ROYALS FAN!!! Oh! I'm sorry! This is the abuse thread.

well, it's a good thing he's so good at framing and hitting.

 

Oh, wait...

[jimmer]

If a catcher starts 126 games in a 162 games season, has he been way over-used? Or even over-used?

You may need getting hit in the head lessons.

[drock2190]

Plouffe sure seems to kill a lot of rallies

[nicksaviking]

Let's see more of that.

 

Bunting o beat the shift, not the double play.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Let's see more of that.

 

Bunting o beat the shift, not the double play.

Were they shifting on Mauer?

 

Just the 3rd baseman bein' deep.

 

But yeah, i like me a good bunt.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh yeah,

 

CBU unchanged.

 

(that'll teach ya to pay attention)

We told you once already, this is the Argument Thread.

No you haven't.

[John Kelsey]

He probably shouldn't have had to catch it like that, but......holy ****!

[JB_Iowa]

Guess all Hicks needed was a stint in AAA.

 

Wow!

[Linus]

Outfield defense is a good thing

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hicks, on the run facing the fence, catches the ball off the bat of Parmelee.

 

Pretty good, i say.

[Craig Arko]

There's that great catch by Hicks to go with the homer.

[Danchat]

Hicks!!! Somebody's stepping it up today.
