Polanco currently sporting a .933 OPS and it's his "calmness when bunting" that impresses you the most, Molitor?

 

Huh.

I was thinking by "put to sleep" you meant kind of like executed in a quiet way like they do to ailing cats and old dogs.

I thought the same thing, and did consider a line-up shift in which no one is humanely executed would be a slight positive despite the relative unlikeliness of the alternative...

At the end of the day, the sum of Gibson just always seems to add up to less than the parts. 

Something small goes wrong, and Gibson's game falls apart. He has a very fragile "zone" where everything is working. I'm not sure if he's ever going to mature into a reliable starter. Maybe after he leaves the Twins..?

Yeah

 

That's what I meant.

 

Some players know what happening and don't want to get out of the car when they see it pull up to Molly's Office.

I'm wondering where was the cutoff man? I didn't see anybody waving for the ball between Rosario and the pitcher's mound. So, Rosario threw it at the pitcher's mound.

 

Vargas was running toward the cut position. 

 

It appears that Vargas may have been delayed for some reason.

None of which excuses Rosario even making that throw home, much less a rainbow that hits the mound on the fly.

I disagree

 

If he was aiming for the mound... I consider that very impressive!!!

Well, my TV died, so I guess it's back to watching the game on MLB Gameday... I'll cheer for a 'In Play - No out(s)'.

Not that it's ever needed, but this seems like a good excuse to run out and spend $1500 or so on a new TV.

Well, the TV's fine, it was just the cable box. That needs to be replaced. But it's working now...

Well if you say so.  Seems risky to me.  I'd rather be safe than sorry.  In fact, $2000 sounds even safer.

So, are we still calling Danny Santana the 25th man and a backup?  He has started seven of the last nine games.

Bert says you know Florida you need a roof. The Buccaneers, Jaguars, Dolphins and Marlins don't as we all know. 

 

The Marlins have a retractable roof.

 

And the rest are football, so not a fair comparison.

You forgot to mention that he has hit .360 during that stretch.  :)
