Article: Game Thread: Twins v Rays, 6/2 @ 7:10pm CT

[Ultima Ratio]

I like Morris' commentary.  Pithy and welcomely biting at times.  Good change and deserved in most cases.

So, Park get's to stay in MLB for another week to 10 days?

Unfortunately, so does Suzuki

He's like a disappointed dad. And you never want to disappoint your dad.

2-4 night for Suzuki

I think I'm going blind.....

Hey ... I'm not the one who brought it up ... talk to Brian about that!

Strategy vs. Buxton: Throw first pitch right down the middle, throw no more strikes. 

[Aggies7]

WTH are you talking about, Dick?

[Guest]

Xavier Cedeno, the Rays' pitcher, has a fantastic name for a baseball player.

Kepler's got a great swing.  Time to look towards the future??

Basically anything that means not looking at the present is good.

If your dad expects you to super glue sunshine blinders on top of your rose-colored glasses, then I don't mind.  His last irreverent quip about Sano playing out of position crediting Kepler's game hitting tonight as a real RF is spot on.

[operation mindcrime]

Jack says nothing against Sano regarding his fielding!

Curve balls that end up at the laces is always a good way to get him out.

[HitInAPinch]

ah, geez. Buxton has returned to the same old crap again. What he's learning at AAA just doesn't seem to be sticking.

Provus discussing pitcher FIP, and in context.

 

Love that guy (well, his announcing, anyway)

[Aggies7]

Cmon, it's taking him much longer to strike out now.

Yeah, there is a certain sameness to his K's. He still gets himself out.

Great thread opener by Brian. Sadly I don't have time to read the whole thread.

Dick--  Sssshhhhhhhhhh......

 

BP's gone 10 for 10--   don't jinx it!

"The best of the vapors"? So, turning Japanese tracks 1-12?

He sees a lot more mistake pitches at AAA, is my guess. In the majors, he has time to make three mistakes before the other guy makes even one.

It's all setting up nicely for... the...

It was between that and the Pomp and Circumstance one (part 1)  (in D minor, or something like that.)

Cuz he's not been there long enough.  He needed to stay there til after the break, at least.

OT: the uniforms that the dbacks are sporting this year will look like this soon:
