Altuve and Correa are each a triple shy of the cycle..... and who said this can't be fun

Graham shutting the door.

Haha mlb tv just showed a clip of kirbys HR in game 6 with Jon Gordon on the call. Salt meet wound.

I'd go to bed but I want to see Park and Sano hit one out and I'd like to see who takes the mound out of the positions player. 

[Dr. Evil]

I suggest Minkiewicz as the manager and an orange highway cone as the gm.

[Guest]

J.R. Graham pitching to J.R. Murphy. People in Houston are more scared of J.R. Ewing.

[Pius Jefferson]

 

Bet he can still fall out of bed hitting, though.

 

I have a Jimmy Wynn Colt 45's jersey. That's a team logo and name you'll never see again.

I'm hoping for the double cycle... as what better way to sum up twins baseball this year than that.

[Platoon]

I appreciate the assignment, but that still may be a little too much work. Can I volunteer for Nick Gordon's MLB stats? That should give me a 2-3 year window of preparation.

I would go for Dee Gordon's instead!

[Aggies7]

Jack said a game like this is no fun. I'll take his professional opinion.

has there ever been a double cycle in a game?

New strategy for the twins:

Wow. Graham's ERA with the Twins is now exactly the same as with Rochester.

I second this

it depends what section you are sitting in.

[Aggies7]

it depends what section you are sitting in.

Hmmmmmmmmmm

[Aggies7]

The last two years I worked for a minor league club, I think we used a position player to pitch 5 or 6 times. It's awfully embarrassing.

[Aggies7]

Hahaha cmon eddy. This is like old man slow pitch softball.

[Mr. Brooks]

Wow. Graham's ERA with the Twins is now exactly the same as with Rochester.

Consistency. Terry Ryan is going to love him.

[Riverbrian]

I've decided to not watch the Twins play tomorrow

 

I mean it.

I didn't see the latest Rochester shuffle news til I logged on to the thread today.  I have to admit to being completely perplexed they called up the guy with the worst ERA and WHIP on the AAA team-- but it just seems to fit with the way the Twinkie (and I'm quoting the great Joe Angel here) 'Brain-thrust" is going these days.  

Just another in an ever-longer line of completely inexplicable moves.

This might be post of the year

No, your post is the post of the year. It's settled.

[Aggies7]

Throw jepsen in. He's bound to have a few more nights off soon.

[Guest]

Today's suggested learning for the manager. When you're down 10 runs and you're pitching the "I concede" guy from AAA, and your best player is older and has an injury history, you might as well pinch hit for him and give him a break.

[Dr. Evil]

This is the longest train wreck ever.

We can use the coffee table to gut that deer.

I make a motion to combine the mn twins talk forum and minor league talk forum.

why would you want to do that to the MiLB forum?
