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.

 

Arcia is so benched... You are not going to talk me out of it. 

[spinowner]

Oh good grief.

[Aggies7]

'06.

 

That was my choice. The Liriano injury was huge.

[Vanimal46]

Arcia doubling up on blunders here.

I also want to be clear that I advised Paul to not play Arcia tonight. 

[Aggies7]

Still looking for that outfield to stop giving up runs.

[howeda7]

Anyone want Hicks back? 

[spinowner]

Time for bed. Good night all.

[Blake]

Great, Arcia took the AB into the field with him. Wow.

[Riverbrian]

 

I also want to be clear that I advised Paul to not play Arcia tonight. 

 

I also want to be clear that I advised Terry Ryan to find elite bullpen help during the off season.

Write him a second letter.

[amjgt]

Is it possible for our dWAR to be more negative than the number of losses we have?

[Vanimal46]

Wow. Alright that may be enough Twins for me tonight.

[Ultima Ratio]

Holy Buckets that's tuuurrrrible. http://www.allsmileys.com/files/smiley-central-emotions/4312.gif

[Aggies7]

Welp. The wild lead 1-0.

Dude...you ran out of bench about 4 innings ago.

[Linus]

Casey Stengal once said I don't like them guys that drive in two and let in three. Didn't know that he managed Ozzie

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

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.

Never.

[howeda7]

Pressley picked a fine night to implode. Ugly pitching. Ugly defense. 

[Aggies7]

I'm sure the Nationals series will just be a hoot to watch.

[Ultima Ratio]

 

Anyone want Hicks back? 

Ask me yesterday, er.. tomorrow.

[Danchat]

Tonkin and Pressly need to forget today happened.

[howeda7]

Somewhere TK is shaking his head in disapproval at this mess. 

[Linus]

Good role for Fien

[ScrapTheNickname]

The Twins came into the game leading the league in giving up unearned runs (10) ... Gameday says all the runs today have been earned. Huh?

No, that is still the process of figuring it out.

 

He hasn't even hit his 25th birthday yet.

[Ultima Ratio]

So is Arcia's WAR for the game back to zero or what's up with this and that?

[USAFChief]

Well, since the Arcia error was followed by a HR, it mattered not.  All them runners woulda scored anyway.  They're all earned.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

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.

Agreed.

[Blake]

Boyer is warming up. The Twins may have a chance!
