One of my favorite Mike Redmond moments was when he hit a triple.  I thought he was going pass out from exhaustion.

If the Twins come back they're 1/2 game behind the Royals. It's EARLY. It's EARLY!!!!!

Are you going for a record?

Yes.

Moderator note -- Brock posted this in yesterday's game thread and people need to cooperate.

 

"game threads are meant to be light and fun enjoyment of the game. If you're going to complain about every move made by Molitor, Ryan, or even TC the Bear, do not be surprised if a moderator asks you to tone it down and/or leave the thread if you keep it up.

 

We all make fun of the team and/or complain but if that's all you're going to do, reconsider why you're posting in the thread at all.

 

This is entirely at moderator discretion and consistency will be applied when and where we feel like it."

[Willihammer]

 

Yes.

He probably has a folder for em.

Would've been nice to have Sano's bat this inning. Nice of Dozier to work a walk

[Jham]

Really nice at bat Dozier.  Get yourself into scoring position.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn, Dozier. Nice PA.

[jimmer]

better not sacrifice!

[ashbury]

Are you going for a record?

[Willihammer]

Best PA of the season so far. That is why Dozier bats leadoff.

I'm watching a site that has about a two-second delay. You called the walk, and then it happened.

They are pretty good.

 

Had a little trouble readin' Fozzie's lips, though.

3 Ks by Sano not enough? :-)

[Jham]

Why giving up outs?!!

[USAFChief]

Just off the top of your head, how many MLB teams, do you figure, have a guy batting second who put up a .215/.241/.291 line last year?

[Willihammer]

Dozier is a man possessed right now.

[Aggies7]

Why the F are you bunting on 3-1 and he bunts a ball

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Really nice at bat Dozier. Get yourself into scoring position.

We're on our game tonight...

[ScrapTheNickname]

Punting on 3-1?

When down by 1 run?

With runner on 2nd?

Guessing that Santana gets to sit and think about that one tomorrow night...

[Jham]

Is Santana that much better of a hitter than Arcia?  Or is Arcia even healthy?  Or on the team?

Fair question.

[USAFChief]

Who?

[PopRiveter]

Wishing someone had informed Molitor that Arcia is on the team before allowing Santana to bat.

[jimmer]

son of a gun!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Quiet...

 

Mauer's at bat...

[USAFChief]

 

Quiet...

Mauer's at bat...

I see what you did there.
