The kid is content

to connect

on a single.

If anything he seems almost LESS likely to get overly aggressive in clutch situations.  That's something that you'd be happy to see him add to his arsenal in the second half of his 20's.

 

Having him show up with that ability to lay off bad pitches in key RBI situations already developing makes his rookie season that much more mind-bendingly great.

Yes, Trevor (Oofda) Plouffe is one away from tying Killebrew at 28.

Only 13 players have ever hit into 30 double plays in a year.

[LaBombo]

It's really nice to see, for the first time in I don't know how long, to see a fly ball leave the bat and think, 'Oh, good, that's an out'  instead of 'Oh, crap, single, double or triple?'

[twinsnorth49]

Let's crank it up again fellas!!

[USAFChief]

I know the DP was disappointing, but Trevor Plouffe:

 

last 7 days:  .529/.579/.941  1.520

 

last 14 days:  .350/.458/.575  1.033

 

Trevor's been more than pulling his weight lately.

Both what he has done recently and his lack of foot speed are both measured by statistics. Schmancy ones, too.

[USAFChief]

Not the swing Vargas needs to be taking on a 3-1 pitch.

[Squirrel]

Well poopedy poop poop poop

[formerly33]

I have an idea.

 

Trevor Plouffe should stop trying because when he does well, he raises fans' expectations to an unattainable level and then they are more likely to be disappointed when he GIDP. And, as an athlete, your best interests lie in living up to expectations and not disappointing fans. Correct?

Perfectly descriptive.

Beer is good that way.

That's what Dozey needs.  A Grain Belt Premium between innings coupla times.

[formerly33]

 

No

Well, considering that I didn't ask two questions in one sentence, I'll pardon you this time for failing to reply "yes."

[twinsnorth49]

Great

[drock2190]

I'm going to bed.

 

I don't need to stay up to see another Minnesota loss, two nights in a row.

[formerly33]

Is this what we used to call Twinning?

[USAFChief]

T-wolves?

[David HK]

Lead off walk in the 9th.   *Sigh.........*

This thread is suffering from banausic language syndrome. I'll spice it up a bit and then maybe the Twins will listen.

 

****ity **** **** ****.

[twinsnorth49]

 

T-wolves?

Oh, he said Minnesota, my bad. I guess he's referring to that awful purple football team.

[stringer bell]

I believe he was referring to the game on the gridiron.
