Intentionally walk Arcia to face Escobar?

[Pardon My Dinger]

I'll-fitting Rain poncho was an interesting choice for the pitching coach there. Considering they're indoors and all.

[tobi0040]

8 straight balls get you pulled. No questions asked.

[Blake]

 

Okay, so, Sano goes opposite...wall.

Obviously, I do not have the same psychic ability as chitown.

[Danchat]

C'mon, Oswaldo... Grand Slam time!!

[Linus]

God he is frustrating.

[spinowner]

Grrr.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Woof.

[Aggies7]

That's what you get for swinging after 8 straight balls.

[USAFChief]

That's the end of the line, folks.  Everyone off the bandwagon.  Evvvvvvveryone off.  Don't twist an ankle, now, be careful, it's a bit crowded, but EVERYone must get off.

[tobi0040]

There is just no way you swing at that first pitch

[Vanimal46]

There's no other swing for Arcia other than try to launch it into outer space.

[mnsportsgeek]

If you didn't predict that strike out, you have more optimism than I.

[Bark's Lounge]

The sad sinks in....

[USAFChief]

Whatta ya do with a Sano with three balls?

 

Walk him and pitch to the Arcia.

 

HEY-yo!

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

C'mon, Oswaldo... Grand Slam time!!

You should have encouraged him to make contact.

[Linus]

Do you think the advance scouts are noting a little something about fastballs up in the zone to Arcia? He has no chance.

[Aggies7]

A little OT so excuse me for doing this in a GT...but I was thinking about this earlier. What year from 02-10 do you think the twins had the best chance at at least making the series?

He's been going the opposite way really well lately, just making solid contact, and he's been rewarded with a starting job. He hits a homerun and ... he tries to launch a grandslam the next time up. I think, though, that Arcia is figuring it out. Next time in that situation maybe he won't swing for outer space.

[spinowner]

I'm not that bothered by the first pitch swing. Figure that the pitcher's gonna throw a get-me-over fastball. But a controlled swing might have been a better option than the 500' HR swing.

[Linus]

Does milwaukee realize that it's not mandatory for all stadium music to be from the 80s?

[Ultima Ratio]

 

Umm...

You "just saw" the sign.  Shenanigans.  http://www.allsmileys.com/files/smiley-central-emotions/5146.gif

Going downtown St. Paul savoy

Sooo looking forward to this evening's ph park bang.

[TwinsCD]

If I had a dollar for every time this franchise left the bases loaded, I'd be swimming Scrooge McDuck style in my basement of gold coins.

 

If we weren't playing in an NL park and the bench wasn't already short, I'd have sat Arcia for that at-bat.  But then, someone probably told him to go after that first pitch after 8 straight balls.

Seriously. I guess WI really is the pits. I've never been.

Find the closest Punch. Try to go when everyone in the world doesn't bring four toddlers with them.

HEY-yo!

Yeah, pretty much my thought. I don't understand, though. Arcia was taking professional at bats. Somewhere, that went away the last couple of games.

'06.

In Wisconsin that music is on every current top 40 station! I've also heard that the iPhone 1 is the latest and greatest technology available...
