Game Thread: Twins v White Sox, 9/3 @ 10:10am PT (12:10pm CT) Bloop Hit Edition

Okay, round 2.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The more I see of Rosario, the less I like.

Yeah he's a good fielder and not bad as a #8 hitter when the team is winning. I would never want him up in a clutch at bat.

 

Like this one right now.

[DaveW]

The senators (Twins) could have had babe Ruth for the cost of a used Buick!

[drock2190]

Swing at 1st pitch here?

[jimbo92107]

Great at-bat by Vargas. Is he really learning plate discipline, or is this some extended practical joke?

[James]

Hey, Eddie didn't swing at the first pitch!

[DaveW]

That's how you do it!!!!

[Gibby]

Thank you God.

[70charger]

The more I see of Rosario, the more I like him.

[James]

Ok, Eddie.  I forgive you for your first at bat.

[SwainZag]

Are we still disliking Eddie?

[DaveW]

great things happen when you take a pitch

[Hrbowski]

Rosario is a fast learner.

Heh heh.

[jimbo92107]

Eddie Rosario, that was rather good.

I will let 4 out of 8 possible RBI slide.......

Just ask Joe.

Agreed.    I like his skill sets, but the lack of plate discipline will hurt him in the long run.   We have two players on our team with an on base % above .320 (min 70 plate appearances).   If Rosario is going to bat .270, you would like him to be close to .320 in on base%.   Without great power, it renders him potentially average to below average maybe?

How do you like me now?

I'm pissed the Twins kept passing on Piazza in 1988.

[jimbo92107]

Did they even show a replay of Rosario's grandy? I wanna see it a few more times!

 

BTW, can we now stop comparing him to Danny Santana?

[stringer bell]

 

Well that's annoying to have the bases full and come up empty. Seems like I've seen that too often.

There was a payoff the next time!

[DaveW]

Break out the Mustard and Rye, it's grand salami time!

[Hrbowski]

The Twins could also have drafted Albert Pujols, just think what he would have added to the offense in those years.

who would compare him to Santana?

[TwinsCD]

Excellent plate discipline out of Rosario there (nom nom nom)
