Define "soon" in the Twins vernacular.

By the weekend. Book it!

Define "soon" in the Twins vernacular.

The Red Wings fly (drive?,run?,swim?) from Rochester to Pawtucket after their game tonight.

Hopefully Hicks will hide in the Men's Room stall, miss the bus (or whatever?) and fly to Minneapolis on the Red Eye.

Just throw some Pepper on him and put him on a plane. 

Ball one.

[jimbo92107]

Jack Morris is right. Even a guy like Rodon will eventually realize that you just about can't pitch to Sano. That makes it all the more important that the Twins find somebody to bat behind Sano that's a legitimate home run threat, at least a 25 homer guy. That's Vargas, Arcia, or AB Walker. Unless you want to bat Dozier behind Sano...

[DaveW]

Hunter should not be playing any more. Give me Plouffe in RF, Sano at 3rd and Vargas at DH at this point

[Blake]

Sanoooo!! 

 

(hey, I was busy and couldn't join the party)

I wouldn't want to go to Pawtucket either.

Agreed, but at the moment Sano really can't run. He jogged to first on that easy DP.

OK

 

Umm

 

The Grapes of Wrath... Book it

I'm pretty sure Sano can out-run Plouffe, SO Sano in RF, Plouffe stays at 3B; Vargas at DH.

Or maybe one of those guys replaces Escobar at SS.

[stringer bell]

Bad defensive day for Escobar so far.

[DaveW]

Escobar makes some dumb mistakes in the field

[twinsnorth49]

That's two boo boo.

Hermann or Nunez would be better options at this point in RF every day

[sane]

Forgot about Sano's bad wheel. Your lineup is better!

[Riverbrian]

 

And Bruce Springsteen ...

We have a cool manager, and didn't know it.

Bob Dylan is no doubt watching on TV (apropo of nothing)

 

That also explains Molitors Born to Run on the base paths attitude. 

[twinsnorth49]

Milone can't afford too many extra outs, gotta tighten up.

[Craig Arko]

War and Peace. Book it.

 

And book it.

 

And book it.

[jimbo92107]

If I see Dozier just standing there, I think I toss him the ball. Saves a lot of time.

[jimbo92107]

Oh, so NOW you toss it to Dozier. Get into the habit, Esco!

Did you not see Sano's hamstring problem when he ran to first?

And Plouffe has no experience playing right field?

I agree that Hunter is done. I think everybody sees that now. No need to beat the dead horse. Only beat the live ones!

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

OK

I was going to ask you what you meant

then I decided it would be better to just

type this.

[stringer bell]

With a high-contact pitching staff, it is probably best to go with the best defensive outfield. If you replace Hunter, it's probably with Robinson.

Keep going

if you can play 3rd you can play RF (better than hunter)

 

Robinson is a better choice then Hunter at this point.

Mollie doesn't see it though.

agreed, Robinson is a clear upgrade. I was saying Herrmann and Nunez would even be upgrades too

I never know what I mean

 

I just know that North Started it. 

[twinsnorth49]

This umpire crew is a joke.

[blairpaul715]

In case it hasnt been said yet, Hicks is 4 for 4 with a HR.
