Alright Arcia.  No more of these silly walks.  Get a hit!

[Riverbrian]

106 Pitches... Hopefully this the end of the Sale. 

 

Go back to regular prices. 

[ScrapTheNickname]

Bright spot: Arcia going the other way - even if it was a dying quail, I don't mind.

[Aggies7]

Sale threw 35 pitches in the first inning and still finished 6 full with 105 pitches SMH

I do think the Tains have finally gotten Sales attention, which was probably not a great idea. They should have tried to sneak up on him, played possum, then pounced!

Just a thought but it looks like we are in need of an extra catcher.  Watched Tim Laudner the other night on FSN.  Looks like he lost some weight and seems to be in good shape.  Any chance the Twins could pick him up for the summer?

If that at bat was a bright spot, things are even worse than I thought.

I already miss Kintzler

[Aggies7]

Am I alone in being befuddled that a guy with molitor's acumen as a player has so completely failed to inspire his team?

Nice fish!  Top winner today on Tonka was 1.9lbs.  I did catch a 6lbs. Bass...

[Willihammer]

Haha, this will be, by far, the greatest move of Molitor's tenure if he gets a DP out of this.

Or a crappie man.

Dick said the relievers nostrils were flaring last night during the bench clearing incident. Were they, Dick?

Was it  because the man with crappie was out there?

You want to make sure you jog in from the pen and mill around harmlessly with the rest of your teammates in a situation like that.

[Riverbrian]

Somebody call Ventura and tell him that Sale is over 100 Pitches.

 

Call Now

 

Don't Call Santa Barbara or Big Sur

 

Call Ventura!!! 

[twinssporto]

Sale with 111 pitches.  Morris has gotta love this.  I do.

[Platoon]

I just saw the slide play WTF

Well, if they're gonna bring ANY catcher out of retirement to salvage the season, I'd hope it would be Jerry Zimmerman. Since Earl Battey's dead.

Sad to say, so is Jerry.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Spent all day crappie fishing on Minnetonka today (didn't win the Ron Schara tournament).  Had some time to reflect on the Twins.  Here's the positive spin on things:  We lost the first game against the Sox by 12.  Last night we lost by 6 (50% improvement).  Tonight we are only down one run after 5.  Wow!!!  WE ARE IMPROVING AS A BALL CLUB.  

 

Just think how good we'll be by August.  I see a 20 game win streak soon!

 

By the end of the month we will be winning games by 4,960 runs!

It's also important to arrive fashionably late.

HEY!  

 

How's about a spoiler alert next time??

The Twins just a month and a half ago during spring training ... how far they've come!

Now that's an extreme defensive shift.

 

Good Luck hitting a ball thru that.

I also went fishing earlier today.

 

Also caught a "6 lb bass."
