Especially for Nolasco, amirite?

 

I agree

 

Even if I don't understand what amirite means. 

[ashbury]

Ash in on a half inning delay

I have no idea. I look up at the Gameday feed, see there's the homer, hit refresh on the TD page, see nothing about it there, so I post, and then above my post are messages from 5 minutes earlier. It's messin with me, I tell ya.

Not crazy about whispering either. I can't hear that well. I'm not a young man anymore.

[big dog]

Let's go here, Mr. Santiago.  I know you use the walk as a secret weapon, but let's not get out of control here.

[wsnydes]

I agree

 

Even if I don't understand what amirite means.

I thinks it's the birth stone for September.

[Jham]

Time for Hector Houdini Santiago to make an appearance...  Come on deeper sabremetric analysis, be more than a fun read!

[ashbury]

I agree

 

Even if I don't understand what amirite means. 

Teh Googlez is your friend. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=amirite

[Comrade Bork]

Wow, I thought they'd go to the pen

[big dog]

Setting up the triple play.  Press 'record' on those VCRs!

[Riverbrian]

 

_{^{please no}}

 

I remember that you were the first practitioner of the small type. 

 

I remember when you started many years ago.

 

Back then...  I was young enough to read it. 

 

Now I have aged to the point that I can't. 

 

I guess I can get that AARP card now. 

 

 

[big dog]

Bases loaded no one out please not tonkin please not tonkin please

 

-  geez Molitor is bad.  Should have brought in tonkin

[HitInAPinch]

Hope the bullpen is warming up

[Jham]

Really good at pitching out of jams or really lucky...  Now watch Nolasco become the new Houdini...

[HitInAPinch]

It's been great to see the Twins rebound this season, but there's one thing that still concerns me about the future of the team. It seems pretty clear to me that there's something seriously wrong with Dozier's hair.

 

If it were any other player, it wouldn't be worth mentioning, but the hair is such a big part of Dozier's game. Sure, he's been swinging a hot bat lately, but you can't tempt fate with hair that looks like Wilson from Castaway and get away with it for long...

Gonna be a pretty tricky triple play

So we traded Nolasco for a left-handed version of himself and give up Meyer for the right to do it? Great. 

[wsnydes]

Acme Bullpen is a perfect description for the pen earlier this year. Things have changed some though.

[ashbury]

Bullpen's got this.

[LaBombo]

 

 

I agree

 

Even if I don't know the meaning of panache or acumen. 

 

"Acumen have a panache, girls have..." "Lunchtime, children!"

 

[Mr. Brooks]

So we traded Nolasco for a left-handed version of himself and give up Meyer for the right to do it? Great.

We didn't want to be in violation of the Rule that says you must have at least 1 lefty in the rotation.

[howeda7]

At least the guy can't steal home on Tonkin. Probably. 

Bullpen's got this.

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

So, Santiago is on a flight back to Chile?

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

Will somebody please ban this guy?

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

"Acumen have a panache, grills have a china..."

 

You've just tried to stretch a single into a triple.

[LaBombo]

Yeah, but he's younger than Nolasco, so he can keep nolascoing leads for the Twins for years to come.
