Boyer's an assasin.

Indeed. A 1-2-3 inning.

I guess I'm searching for a reason why you would start Hughes, when the best you can hope for is 3-4 innings, virtually assuring mulitple innings from the soft underbelly of the pen.

 

I know you have extra relievers out there, but none I really wanna see.

 

Find a way to get Hughes close to ready before you throw him into an important late season game.  He didn't look anything close to ready anyway...topped out at 90-91 from what I saw.

Concur, I've been scratching my head about it all night. Game 2 of a stretch of 7 in a row, including 4 very pivotal games with the Angels and we need a deliberate short start to expose the pen?

 

 I know there's extra arms but what am I missing?

[Gibby]

 

 

I'd gladly ftfy but as a moderator I have to uphold a certain standard

 

I saw the anagram right away.

[USAFChief]

in play, run(s) please.

[Gibby]

Here we go...time for Twins Baseball!

[Squirrel]

Geez, that is not a double for most people, let alone a stand up double.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

in play, run(s) please.

Patience...

 

Buxton on second after a dribbler gets by 3rd base.

[David HK]

 

Indeed. A 1-2-3 inning.

See?  He can start an inning....

 

Once in a while....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Here we go...time for Twins Baseball!

Good call.

[David HK]

Hey---  rally, maybe---

 

OK, Dozey, I know a 3-run dinger would be awesome, but please, please, don't be TRYING so hard to hit one.

[twinsnorth49]

Standing up.............wow.

 

I get the sense Buck is starting to figure things out, he's putting the ball in play far more.

[Riverbrian]

Dozier has got to snap out of this eventually. He did the same thing in the 2nd half last year. 

 

He may need a day off or two. 

[David HK]

Geez, what the heck, Simon.

 

I lived in Chi in the 90's, right next to Wrigley.  Used to see Steve Trachsel pitch 3 1/2 hour games like that.  That's horrible baseball.  

 

I guess it worked in Dozy's case.  He must have fallen asleep between pitches.

 

[James]

I'm more excited about this game than I was before

He's pressing way too hard out there by the look of it.

Beer is good that way.

[David HK]

Yep.  Fork time for Dozier, just like last year. 

 

His post-All Star splits must be horrible.

[drock2190]

Something positive please!

[Gibby]

Here is our ballgame.

 

[twinsnorth49]

Think he's jacked?

[ScrapTheNickname]

The kid is content

to connect

on a single.

[David HK]

See Dozey?  That's what you do with Loons on the pond.

 

Ya don't have to hit a 6-run homer every time.

 

Good job once again by that strong young man!

 

Now, come on, Poof!

[drock2190]

Double Play PLOUFFE

[twinsnorth49]

Well done.

[David HK]

Oh.  Surprise there.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Double Play PLOUFFE

They killed Kenny! The bastards!

[David HK]

izzat the record yet?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Double Play PLOUFFE

Only 1 more to tie Killer, if i recall what previous announcers have said?

 

Then he'll be able to focus on other things...

[twinsnorth49]

God damn Plouffe had to be better than that.

[Jham]

Was I really defending Plouffe on the "trade Plouffe" thread?  Rethinking.
