Atta Boy Kepler

I'm glad DickBert know the difference between ballet dancing and belly dancing..

Not a lot of respect for Arcia's arm there, by Harper.

It's a clown arm, Bro.

GREAT AT BAT!  Your new starting Centerfielder:  Max Kepler!

[Danchat]

It's good to see Kepler hitting... Suzuki needs to hit him in now.

there's a difference?

[Aggies7]

The black hole that is our catcher spot continues to impress.

[Craig Arko]

Go to your room.

FTFY

Everybody has a black hole there

 

Except the Giants

[Craig Arko]

I do believe I could mute the TV and still hear Jim Joyce call a strike.

[FunnyPenguin]

Why was Hughes not pinch hit for?  Is it just too early in the game?

[ashbury]

   Interesting AB for the leadoff hitter.  Swing away, BUNT!

I don't think such sequence is terribly unusual. If bunting is part of your game, you don't want the defense ever to feel too comfortable. And bunting doesn't only occur in cases where the batter's plan is solely "I'm bunting this time up".

Philosophical conundrum: if Jim Joyce falls in the woods, and no one is there to hear him, is it still a strike?

[Craig Arko]

If Jim Joyce goes in the woods, and no one is there to hear him, is it still a strike?

Depends on his aim.

[FunnyPenguin]

Roark is having a strikeout buffet today

[ashbury]

Seven strikeouts by Twins batters in 3 innings. Inconceivable!

I edited my post to remove the unintended double entendre, but not in time.

[GCTF]

Sano makes play, Earth continues to turn.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

[Riverbrian]

 

Sano makes play, Earth continues to turn.

 

The Baseball Player Positional Flexibility Bell Tolls for me

[DrNeau]

Nice play by Sano to end the 3rd.

[jimmer]

Bremer, is that you?

[DrNeau]

Arcia walks w/ 1 out in the 4th.

[Riverbrian]

The K's are a little concerning. 

[DrNeau]

Twins making Roark look like Roger Clemens.

[Danchat]

I think Roark's on pace for about 20 strikeouts.

[ashbury]

If Kepler stopped shaving tomorrow morning, how many days until we noticed?

[ashbury]

Everyone who took the 'over' on today's strikeout total for the Twins should be feeling pretty secure right now.

 

No matter where the over-under line was placed.
