Bah, humbug.

[DrNeau]

Get us out of this, Duff.

[Monkeypaws]

I think I'd trade any of our young studs for Lindor. He looks to be a generational talent.

Long time, no posts. Hope you've all been enjoying this run by the Twins. It's been fun.

I think I just ran out of things to say although I did lurk around a bit.

Hicks on 1st. No outs. Let's do some scoring here.

Nice to "see" you JB. You were missed.

Seeing Suzuki hit in to a double play, and the fact that the Twins started Chris Hermann last night in that lost double hitter game, is a painful reminder that the Twins had a chance to do something about the back up catcher spot, someone that could have done some filling in for Suzuk.

 

 

I think their problem was not addressing the STARTING catcher position not the backup catcher position :-)

Be nice to see Dozier get 30 dingers before the end of the season.

Lindor, Correa and Russell.  Could be the next ARod, Jeter, Nomar group in regards to overall talent.

[stringer bell]

How many times have the Twins gone through the order at least once before getting a single hit?

They certainly could be.  The only one the Twins could have taken was Russell as well, he went 11th the year Buxton went #2.  I want to see what people have to say about Buxton this time next year, I really do think he will be special player.

[DrNeau]

Atta boy, Joe! Double over his head in left. LOVE it. Good ball. 

[twinsnorth49]

Atta way Joe!

My comment was in no way a slight on Buxton or the Twins selection of him, for the record.

[Hrbowski]

Mauer is an on base machine.

At least there was a walk  And that's a stat I'm not I want to know!

I figured as much, just stating they were top picks.  I would love to have any of them.....and Buxton

Agreed, I think people tend to forget how Buxton's injuries have set him back some. If his recent performance is any sign what he might be capable of on a regular basis, look out.

That worked well. How many times have the Twins gone four or more innings without scoring a run to start the game?

[Monkeypaws]

 

Mauer is an on base machine.

Is that streak still ongoing?

[spinowner]

Bauer can't handle the Plouffe!

[twinsnorth49]

PLLOOUUFFEE!!!!

 

and the wind!!

[stringer bell]

How many times have they gone the first four innings and only scored a single run?

[JB_Iowa]

Double, double

 

Let's do it again.

[JB_Iowa]

Double, double

Let's do it again.

Or not.

[DrNeau]

Plouffe RIPS an RBI double to CF. 1-0 Twins!

Oh well. Keep reaching until someone says stop.

[SwainZag]

 

Is that streak still ongoing?

 

Nope.  It ended last week on that ugly game where Detroit came back and scored 5 runs late.

[spinowner]

Hicks catches that.

[spinowner]

If I were a Cleveland fan I'd have gotten sick of the drum about 30 years ago.

[stringer bell]

Not exactly a great route Torii. While I know the wind moved that ball, if Hunter went to the right spot, he could catch that ball.

[jimmer]

 

Hicks catches that.

what happened?
