Bunty? Like Al? Or Ted?

[wavedog]

Cannot believe Nunez bunted. Too stupid to learn from our previous mistakes.

[TwinsCD]

 

yeah, this bunting carp is out of control.

 

I get it if it's the 9th inning and you only need one run.  Then by all means, get that winning run to 3rd base so you can get him in on a sac fly if necessary.  But not now and not with your most consistent hitter at the plate.

'having to' might be a stretch, since we certainly didn't have to, but yeah :-)

[Aggies7]

I'd like to see the winning percentage when a team gets 13 hits and the opponent commits 2 errors.

[Willihammer]

Last year the Braves traded Johnson for a competitive balance pick (A). They re-signed him for 1/2.5m and now Johnson's back on the front page of mlbtr with clubs interested in doing it all over again.

 

Now that's how you rebuild.

[Aggies7]

Hard to believe the braves are going to sweep this short series. It shouldn't be, but it is.

[jimmer]

have a good night all!

[Aggies7]

Who woulda thunk allowing 7 runs in the first 4 innings would come back and bite us?

[Willihammer]

"Sweep."

[LaBombo]

Down two, two down, and our .254 OBP guy at the plate:

Dick's talent for understatement is as fresh as it was Opening Day. "It stings a bit to lose two at home to the last place Braves".

I admire the loyalty of those of you who continued to watch this game. Or is it because you only have one channel on your TV?

[Platoon]

It's only one losty!

[mudcat14]

More and more convinced that the entire coaching staff needs to go.  I'll say it again, we need Ozzie to chew these guys butts and teach them how to play!

1st runner up got off to a slow start after losing sano,Buxton, berrios, Rosario and abw3, but suddenly Dougie Baseball has a 53-49 squad. Stewart and Gonsalves could help make a bit of a run.

Well, even if it didn't work, it would be fun to watch...

 

[Danchat]

Ugh. After the game, Molitor said that Duffey will get his next start. I don't know why they refuse to call up Berrios.

 

Anyways, I was only a few feet from catching that Suzuki home run... 

 

Ah, I found the play. Click Here to see the Suzuki HR. I'm the guy in the white Twins jersey just a few feet away from the ball in the second row.

It's because we are watching the development of players like Buxton and Kepler.
