Watching him bat was like watching an otter play the French horn.

I have not heard that analogy before. Most otters play the oboe. :)

I just wish he was from Canada.  He looks so soft, like a pansy.

 

It's an unwritten rule that the Twins always need to have one guy like that in the rotation.   Before Pelfrey it was Scott Baker,  who made look Charlie Brown look more intimidating than Bob Gibson on a bad day.

There just ain't enough people out there named Burl anymore.  

 

By golly, if I have a little boy someday.....

Oh my god. Mauer just pulled a home run to RF. Hardest ball he has pulled in two years right there.

Ok, recent Twins history demands that Hughes gives that run back immediately! Santana is ruling my theory as I type.

What is up with these boys throwing that leather around tonight?  

 

It almost looks like the good old days on D out there.

 

Thanks, DanSan.  Thanks, Polanco.   Good scoop, Joe.  Who's next?

His bunting was oboe quality.   Swinging away, he was as hopeless as the otter's notorious inability to master the brass embouchure:  darting eyes, hunted facial expression, flailing arms, and a stance that suggested that the air biscuit he planned to drop had unexpectedly escalated.

Makes me think of Doug, Luis, Cristian, and Corey.   Now THAT was an infield.

Any more Berrios - Hughes comparisons?

 

I'll take ineffective Twins starters for 500,  Alex.

 

"This unclaimed waiver wire lefty starter's presence in the 2016 Twins opening day rotation caused some fans to worry about what to do with him when JO Berrios was called up."

I liked the $200 question:

 

"He was good in the clubhouse, but not so good when it came to giving an inspirational speech to his alma mater Wichita State in a 2014 spring training prank set up by his teammate Glen Perkins and his manager Ron Gardenhire."

I think it was Kubel who hit a HR, otherwise Rivera would have been at 100% against our lads! (Or so it seemed)

LIsten, guys, I've got a fever. And the only prescription is more Kubel!

After next year big Pelf will have made $31,000,000 over five years with the Twins and Tigers.

To put things in perspective, Kelly Ripa earns $20,000,000 a year ...

 

Oh my, America!

Can Kelly pitch?

I'm sure part of Ripa's job is pitching products or the next big thing her network is going to cover.

Six innings of zeros is nothing to scoff at, and line drive contact hasn't been as hazardous to the fielders the last couple innings. You may now gloat. :)

Pitch to contact is good, as long as the contact referred to is ball contacting glove.

We signed Robbie Grossman to a minor league deal tonight. Go Twins! \m/

Hm.  Down goes Rosario, then.
