Who thinks he's going to try a curve?

[David HK]

I hate-watched that series 'Wayward Pines,' cuz it started off looking kind of good.  I'm hate-watching this game now, the same way.  Freakin' slow-motion car crash...  or maybe just watching the smoke start to rise from the dumpster as the flames begin to lick their way up the sides.  Or maybe my girlfriend from back in the 90's face, as we drove home from that oyster bar, just before she ruined my favorite sweater...

No Hicks? I thought he could hit 97 in HS!

[SwainZag]

Robinson throwing 89-90? Nice.

[S.]

Robinson > Boyer

[nicksaviking]

Should Robinson even be playing RF if he can barely hit 80 MPH?

[David HK]

Sugar Shane.  The ANSWER.  

[nicksaviking]

0.00 ERA.

[formerly33]

Sugar Shane!! I knew I'd see something good coming from you ... that's the first inning of Twins baseball I've deemed it worth my effort to watch in a long time, and I wasn't disappointed.

[COtwin]

Curveball on the black. Love it

[David HK]

So, does Robinson come back out for the next inning when we tie it up?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Should Robinson even be playing RF if he can barely hit 80 MPH?

valid point

[COtwin]

A knuckle???

[S.]

 

Should Robinson even be playing on a major league baseball team?

 

Fixed that for you.

[gocgo]

44 runs in 4 games.  They might want to address the pitching in the offseason...oh wait!  They already did that!   GAAAAAAAAH!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

This game is so out of hand that Molitor played Sano in the infield?

[David HK]

And how must young Mr. Achter feel right now, knowing a 5'7" outfielder came in to clean up his mess?  Wow, the ignominy of it all.  That's got to be a bit of a blow for the confidence factor.

[Jham]

That doesn't help the run differential. ..

[jimbo92107]

Ha! Robinson strikes him out with a 64mph curve!

[jimbo92107]

Once again we see the strange, untapped potential of throwing the ball reallllly slow.

[Mike Sixel]

I assume manziel came in and gave up the two safeties?

[Riverbrian]

 

It's the red jerseys. They wrung every bit of luck that they had out of them last night. Should have gone with the grays.

 

I concede

 

Burn the Red Jerseys... Actually Burn them on the flight home. 

 

 

In the Airplane

 

Let's see if all the alarms that go off become motivational in some way.

It was a knuckler, believe it or not!
