NICE SPIN ON THAT BALL

Please don't make polanco bunt

I think it was the please.

[Jham]

Wow, Gomez...  Thanks!  Still one of my favorites from that era...

[GCTF]

Welcome back, Senor Excitemento!!

McHugh not happy with Gomez.

[jimbo92107]

Did you see what McHugh just said after the ball went over Gomez's head? I could lip read:

 

"WTF is he doing?"

[dgwills]

Gomez is regretting those cocktails at lunch

[Comrade Bork]

Glorious

[twinsnorth49]

Go Go with some stellar CF play

Dan The Man!!

 

sorry...

[Jham]

Santana cementing his position as 25.5th man...

[jimbo92107]

Danny Santana just found out why the Twins need Murphy, Turner or Garver behind the plate. We gotta have a guy back there that can throw out runners. Seriously, batting average is a secondary concern.

Was that an intentional play on words?

 

Maybe not so much eh?

Pretty sure that's 24.5 ish

I remember Gardy saying Delmon wasn't that bad a fielder, that he just looked awkward.  He was half right!

I dunno... are you still considered on the roster if your bag is packed and waiting for you on the stairs of the dugout?

[DrNeau]

Polanco is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

[h2oface]

Dozier would have reached out and had his glove at thigh level and then showed to ump his glove, and Santana would have been safe. Correa keeps his glove low and makes the tag. I hope Dozier watches and learns. Might be too much to ask, though.

Twins like those 'discipline' type guys.  Always ready, always prepared...

Closed circuit to Duff: shed the necklace

[Squirrel]

ah, Del, we miss thee well....

No, thou doth not

[big dog]

Kepler and Polanco have really upped the watchability of the Twins lately.  I stop what I'm doing when they are at bat.  Except for watching, I mean.

Closed circuit to Duff: shed the necklace

This may have been asked in another thread, but why don't you see players wearing those "Power Necklaces" any more?  Were they just a fad, or did they not "work"?

[twinsnorth49]

See the difference Bert?

 

 

No.

[Tovar12]

Power bracelets too.

[HitInAPinch]

 

No, thou doth not

thou doth notus.  Use proper grammar for ****s sake...

[twinsnorth49]

Psst Mollie!

 

PEN!!
