Murphy hitting .079 now

I still don't understand why Nunez's butt has felt a bench at all the past 20 games.

Out of curiosity, peeked in at the Yanks game just now-  A. Hicks up, runner on 3rd, 1 out.  K.  

Made me feel a little better, anyway.

I'm the Park Guy (HR's every 11.14 AB's now)

 

You could be our Murphy update guy.

Sadly and oddly... it does make me feel better.

Gee, ummmm,.... thanks.  I'll think about it.

[Aggies7]

This year hasn't been fun thus far... but I think the Twins are setting up for a long run.

 

I think so too, but the non-prospect portion of the roster (minus a few) is greatly deficient. This would not be a good supporting cast, even IF all the prospects pan out.

[Vanimal46]

Gee, ummmm,.... thanks. I'll think about it.

Don't think about it for long... Someone else will chomp at the bit to be a Murphy guy!

[David HK]

Ya know, 'dese here t'reads do keep 'dese kinda games a heckuva lot more bearable.  

[twinssporto]

Sano really should have caught that ball.

[Aggies7]

Another one. Unreal.

Come to think of it, might be an easy job.  Only have to post stuff if he gets a hit now and then.  Hmmmm....

[Vanimal46]

As long as real baseball talk is on the back burner, you're 100% correct David

What would you think if Chris Herrmann had been traded for Murphy and Hicks had been traded for Palka?

[Aggies7]

Great screen name.

[David HK]

Well, doody calls.  Off to a wonderful reading exercise.  Cheerio.

I like the way you're thinking here! How exhausting would it be to be a Mauer guy these days? I couldn't handle it...

[Riverbrian]

I think the secretary in the Commissioners office would have been asking if the spelling of Herrmann was correct. 

[Danchat]

I do wonder how much rope Fien will get before he gets DFA'd. It's probably much longer than it should be...

[jimmer]

Bremer just talked about how many CFs the Twins have traded over the last several years.  And we've had a lot of value from those trades...

[David HK]

But, before I go--  over on the Twit the Twinkie guys are beefin' about the bandbox home runs--  but, aren't the fences the same for both teams?  S'pose we could hit a couple of those dinky fly balls ourselves?  Pfft.

(It's not like the old days in the Dome, where we could turn off the AC in the 9th if we were behind...)

[COtwin]

Does this mean Fien gets sent down?  Yet another inning with runs scored for him.  Seems like the needs to be some equity.  Meyer gets treated like crap and his confidence dinged.  But good forbid Hughes or Fien or any of the other underperforming veterans gets held accountable.

[Riverbrian]

Just so you don't exhaust yourself.. I'm going ask you to be the guy who updates Kepler Major League Stats. 

[Aggies7]

Well, I'll say this. With all the talk about inappropriate or frowned upon game thread posts, if you're still watching this trash at this point, you have to be a true fan. That entitles you to something, in my book.

[jimmer]

There are Twins fans who still can't spell Mauer correctly.  Spelling isn't high on any list of competency. :-)

only 1 that inning,   we'er comin'

[Vanimal46]

If Tim Stauffer lasted until June, well.... Granted he was injured for a bit.
