Put your New Balance back in the closet!

Would that t'were so simple...

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Didn't most these young guys play for Dougie? Maybe to much screaming not enough teaching?

for about 15 minutes, and the 10 minutes for Mike Quade

Who you think will take the mound for the Twins?

Milone, tomorrow afternoon.

 

Oh well.

[LaBombo]

 

If we just hadn'ta given up those last four insurance runs.

That's the versatility of Jepsen. He doesn't need a save opportunity to blow a game.

If we just hadn'ta given up those last four insurance runs.

The funny part is they referred to Suzuki being out at home as "the turning point" in the 9-1 game in the 9th. The other doozy was how we want to get Santana 350 at bats a year as a super utility guy.

 

Kind of like the game about two weeks ago. We had a good start and lost 2-1 or something. Smalley said we have good starts and we don't score. We score a lot and get a bad start. Called it bad luck.

I should've watched shark week. Thank God for DVR!

[Aggies7]

The 2016 twins have not had a loss that wasn't followed by at least one more loss. All season. Can they break that tomorrow? Stay tuned.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I haven't looked at the standings too closely of late.

 

Are we in miracle Braves territory yet?

[Aggies7]

Eek, the upcoming schedule. I shouldn't have looked at it. Don't look at it.

[LaBombo]

 

Who you think will take the mound for the Twins?

It's a long shot, I know, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Well that's not true.  They lost Saturday, and won Sunday.

 

//I get your point...they haven't had a one game losing streak.  But that's not very funny, so I made fun of your phrasing.

Eek, the upcoming schedule. I shouldn't have looked at it. Don't look at it.

Yeah...it features a heavy dose of the Twins.

[Aggies7]

Yeah...it features a heavy dose of the Twins.

Are you saying the twins would lose an intersquad game?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Eek, the upcoming schedule. I shouldn't have looked at it. Don't look at it.

All Star break and four days off?

[LaBombo]

 

. The other doozy was how we want to get Santana 350 at bats a year as a super utility guy.
 

The "super" part must refer to his 280 OBP this year, as opposed to his unsuper 2015 OBP of .241.

Eek, the upcoming schedule. I shouldn't have looked at it. Don't look at it.

I did not look at it, but even so, I will bet anyone here, $20 that we are going to be playing teams with better records than us? Honest to (your favorite deity), I have not peaked! Edited June 30, 2016 by Platoon

Haven't seen Jet Jaguar for ages.

[ashbury]

I get your point...they haven't had a one game losing streak.

That's because it wouldn't be a streak. Just a splotch.

[ashbury]

I haven't looked at the standings too closely of late.

 

Are we in miracle Braves territory yet?

Dunno. Our 25-52 Twins have 85 games to go, right?

 

On July 7 1914, an off day, the Braves stood at 28-40. They went 66-19 their last 85 games.

 

If the Twins can do that, they'll finish 91-71. Maybe a sniff at the playoffs, but surely not first place. They're starting from a deeper hole than those Braves ever were in.

Gotta start somewhere...

And I thought our bullpen sucked!

It's an anomaly of nature: it both sucks and blows.
