Oh oh, Jack's taking on sabermetrics   

[Circus Boy]

 

Absolutely.  now it's left to Mast and Centeno....

 

It's about time to do something. It seems the other team's .190 guys always clobber our pitching. Let's return the favor.

[Aggies7]

 

There was a petition to send ya to Rochester but I stood up for ya.

At least they win there.

[Squirrel]

 

Thank Goodness... I had the image below in my head

Ha! More like this ... I'd be like Diane Keaton at the beginning, but I'd be Bette Midler at the end:

The problem, as I see it, is that the twins keep playing teams that are better. If we can just fill in the last 130 games against the braves, we'd be ok.

[HitInAPinch]

7 innings, Duffy thowing only 73 pitches.  Come on hitters.....

Hey everyone ... my sister's on a date with a guy she's never met before. Sadly for her, it doesn't take Sherlock to hack her passwords, and I have access to all her conversations with this guy. Being an upstanding citizen, I haven't read them ... but I'm seriously considering texting him through her account and saying something like, "Are we still on for today?" And he'll be looking at her all confused and wondering who's been pulling his leg and which leg is being pulled, etc. etc.

 

My question is, would that be too mean to my sister?

[Squirrel]

 

Tennis is a good option, too.

Played yesterday, playing tomorrow and Tuesday ... hard for me to play too many days in a row.

[Aggies7]

21 wild pitches. leads the league. amazing.

Yes. Send her my way instead. I'm a great guy. 29 and single. The only negative is that I have poor taste in sports teams.

[John Kelsey]

Dropped strike three leads to a run. I wish this Duffey guy would just pitch to contact. 

[Aggies7]

Well, that should do it. Good afternoon, all.

[jimbo92107]

Yeah, the change-up still needs work.

[Danchat]

 

A stat from Phil Miller: Twins have trailed in 30 of their 31 games this year.

Wow. Didn't know this.

Norfolk isn't real good this year either.

I stopped reading here.

 

Don't do that.

I'm pretty sure my sister has better judgement when it comes to prospective dates than you have in sports teams.

[HitInAPinch]

 

Yeah, the change-up still needs work.

Duffy is getting a little breaking-ball happy.

[Aggies7]

Then why are you reading her texts?

[jimbo92107]

Dear Juan Centeno,

 

When a pitcher throws a curve ball in the dirt, it will ALWAYS kick to the side of the pitcher's throwing hand. Every. Damn. Time. If you were looking down when you waved your glove at the ball, you might have noticed that. 

 

Love,

Jimbo

Sounds Normal

 

But I gotta say Yes

[Craig Arko]

Don't do that.

TwinsCrimeDaily. Rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

[HitInAPinch]

98 - 98 - 78   That's just not fair....

[formerly33]

I haven't read them ...

They do say the story gets better every time ...

[jimbo92107]

Duffy is getting a little breaking-ball happy.

Duffey is a curve ball pitcher. The rest of his repertoire is for variety. He is Bender.

[Circus Boy]

Where's the rally rhino when we need him?

[HitInAPinch]

Park got hosed...

[notoriousgod71]

So the Twins bullpen is so overworked that they take out Duffey with under 100 pitches?

[Kwak]

That's to motivate the hitters...

[Riverbrian]

I'm not comfortable with the White Sox being able to play defense.
