Could happen, with no catcher...

But 6000 pitches is a little bit much...

There people go again, putting too much emphasis on pitch counts.

[Pardon My Dinger]

 

I'm betting that Verlander reaches 2000 strike outs today.  

Nuh uh.

early leader for post of the game.

[Pardon My Dinger]

 

Typically I looked forward to day baseball games, but this one smells like a blowout. Might go catch a matinee instead, has anyone seen any of the following movies:

 

Sicilian Vampire

Money Monster

Keanu

 

Any worth seeing? It's $8 day at the theater down the block.

Never heard of two of those, but Keanu is a'ight. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

True.

 

If he has a shot at a record like that, ya gotta leave him in.

[USAFChief]

On a serious note, I'm completely over any leftover infatuation I might have had for Rosario.

 

He's just not a good baseball player.  

[FunnyPenguin]

Boy with our strong combination of weak contact and striking out, this team doesn't really stand a chance of getting any better...

[Pardon My Dinger]

Tell me about it! I shaved my eyebrows to look like his, and these things are taking forever to grow back. Disappointing to say the least.

Send Rosario down and put Oswaldo out there. Let this be Oswaldo's make or break year.

I figured he'd hit ok, not great, but ok. I figured he was an above average corner defender (not as good as last year, but good).

 

Apparently, only watching the games on line, and not actually SEEING players is not the best way to scout.......

[Mike Sixel]

I am up for this.

[Winston Smith]

Anyone else having trouble with the ads loading really slow on here?

[James]

You know, I hadn't really noticed... or cared.

 

Of course now I'm going to look at every ad. 

[Riverbrian]

Yeah and here comes a Grossman to replace him. 

 

That would be gross in and of itself. 

[Pardon My Dinger]

This guy wants to meet Russian beauties and he wants to meet them now!!!!!

[Blake]

Well, I think Seth suggested the outfield of the future, Rosario, Buxton and Kepler, should play together in AAA this year. The season is over and done with at this point, might as well start working on next year. Grossman would be filler until Kepler et al came up.

[James]

He gets more interesting ads than I do.

 

Mine are all for community colleges for some reason.  I'm not sure any of them offer the Ph.D program that I'm looking for.

Yeah... I read that

 

I have always been a big Seth Fan. Seth consistently shows a grasp of the human side of the game and I think that side gets over looked by many of us looking at a bunch of numbers. 

 

I followed Seth to Twin's Daily so ultimately Seth has been responsible for every word that I've typed on this site. 

 

However... I think Seth would be OK... If I disagreed with him on one or two things. I kinda do here. 

 

 

[Mike Sixel]

I am getting ads for "London Style".....I am assuming that is not a good choice by adserv......

 

They were loading very slowly on vikingsjournal, so I left...

[Blake]

A right-handed hitter can go opposite field? Interesting.

How's Oregon

 

Is it raining yet? 

[gocgo]

Ugh... why did I turn the game on?

[Mr. Ed]

Need a serious wake up call.

Horrible OF defense, with no offense to support it. Nolasco basically has to strike the side out because the defense is terrible.

[Blake]

Nolasco was striking everyone out. He probably should go back to that.

[Riverbrian]

That catch has to be made. How long will the foot shooting continue. 

 

You'd think the foot would be just bone fragments scattered over the ground at this point.

There are plenty of high school kids who would look way better in the OF than Sano...

[jimmer]

defense just isn't important.

They moved the holster to the left side and started on the other foot.

[Mr. Ed]

Yet they continue, and add to that "Don't worry about it and let it affect your offense."

 

Right. That works.

 

The mindset this org is operating at right now is mystifying.

[Blake]

The Twins players of this year will be able to relive this season for decades to come, thanks to the magic of video.

 

Cool.
