So, a rendition of the future: A fiercely disgruntled future of baseball beyond the Ohio river valley.

How do you tune in opposing teams game call?

 

Us Out of Towners have to use the MLB Package and we can choose what broadcast to view. 

 

Unless you live in Iowa.

Nice job Tommy Milone.

[jimbo92107]

Was just thinking that earlier.    Thought I caught a couple of grimaces in that last at bat.

His weight transfer looked awkward, like he didn't want to drive hard off his rear leg. Is it the right hammy that's sore? Looked like it.

I know

 

Yet somewhere on Twins Daily... Someone is trying to throw him off the roster.

I would bet cash money he's on the team in 2016.

Why does their ball boy down the RF line bring his stool with him wherever he goes?

[Blake]

I was just looking at the art work that accompanies the absolutely brilliant game thread opener.

 

I had no idea Alfred E. Neuman came west in a covered wagon.

 

Learn something new every day.

I think that Sano would benefit from a day or two off.

I would sentence him to five days of hard hot tub and massage. Ride the bench, gimpy!

 

Unfortunately, the team doesn't do too well without Sano in the lineup.

Good try, Plouffe.

I don't recall seeing anyone wanting Milone off this roster.

[Squirrel]

Cmon Trevor ... Get. Him. OUT!!!

Well trained as a toddler?

[DaveW]

Nice to see them getting May "back on the horse" for better or worse he is our best 8th inning guy until Perkins comes back (hopefully)

Not sure if that's the one that's officially bothering him, but it sure looked like there was something going on with the right leg.     If he's not generating the bat speed because of that, it may be that he's taking more defensive swings.     Or it could just be a rookie slump for a kid who was on a nearly impossible pace.

I think Sano has been reading his press clippings a little bit. 

 

He's been swinging hard at some stuff he wasn't swinging at before. 

 

I think he's going through a little "I'm a big strong guy who can do anything stretch' and he's gonna have to go back to not thinking that way to become that again. 

 

Just a guess based on no inside information at all.

He'd be on my Roster in 2016. 

 

The Twins stopped calling me for advice along time ago though.

Who should be tossed off the Twins roster tends to be somewhat of a moving target. 

 

However, I think we can all agree that at some point this season, everyone on the roster needed to be stuck with a fork and waived.

Not allowed to visit the restroom until the game is over?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Trevor May is back

Idle speculation at Twins Daily! For shame!! ;-)

In case he has to sit down in the new spot? 

[jimbo92107]

Whoa, May just threw a 98mph heater. Spicy meat-a-balla!

[Riverbrian]

It's Ok Dave... I don't recall where my car keys are sometimes. It happens.

[spinowner]

I would not be surprised if the radar gun at Kaufmann reads a bit high.

[USAFChief]

whew.

It's not bad enough they gotta drink what we flush...

 

No offense if you're lurking,  JB.      No more offensive than drinking toilet water, anyway...
