There can't be anyone left who think R G is even a 4th OF anymore. Ugh

I didn't see it.  Was it on RG or Danny?  I ask cause both of them are horrible out there.

[mickeymental]

gluttons for punishment r us.

[jimmer]

 

uh, and who was making the throw?

Danny Santana. An OF I've recently been told is about an average defensive CF ;-)

[twinsnorth49]

I mean why try something else out there when you've got this........amiright?

[jimmer]

Is it Morris today?

I would put it on Grossmann, not being able to hear who called what. He did a nice Square out at the fence, and ran into DanSan who had a bead on the ball.

Morris being just a wee bit politically incorrect    

No getting around it:  Gibson has been bad for all except one month this year.

 

1st inning:  21 pitches, 11 strikes.

I would put it on Frossmann, not being able to hear who called what. He did a nice Square out at the fence, and ran into DanSan who had a bead on the ball.

yeah, I missed it.  Starting to sound like I should be glad I did.  My wife told me that for my bday today, I should treat myself to NOT watching this game. :-)

Sinker does not sink

Fastball is not fast at all

Mediocre scrub

Morris saying something concerning Gibson I've been saying for awhile now.  He is what he is at this point.  And it aint good.

Danny Santana

Rex Grossman out in left field

How did this happen?

That's cheatin

[Platoon]

And the runner tried to help on the SF, but DanSan missed the plate by 20 ft, and then Suzuki missed the catch just as Bautista went past.

Happy Birthday !!

Jays not the slightest bit hesitant to tee off on Gibson, pretty much know he has nothing.

[jud6312]

Did anybody else watch Rob and Dan collide in the outfield and think it the perfect metaphor for the season?

 

To be completely honest, that was my second thought. The first was, "two birds with one stone ... thanks, Toronto." 

[jimmer]

 

Happy Birthday !!

thank you :-)

Birthday? Have a good one.......listen to your wife.

[Platoon]

Morris is making a point valid to most players, and quite possibly one of the biggest flaws in TwinsWorld! Players are what they are, eventually. They might have one good year, but not several strung together. We seem to view players like that, even 30 year olds, as guys moving forward, not as an outlier year. (I now return you to The State Fair)

thanks.  yeah, I can't tear myself away from the game quite yet :-)

That's what good, veteran hitters do.  Sometimes they even supply the other team with blindfolds.

Happy birthday Jimmer! What's on the docket today to celebrate?

[Vanimal46]

If you're looking for suggestions, today is National Cherry Turnover Day!

[jimmer]

 

Happy birthday Jimmer! What's on the docket today to celebrate?

The game and then some board and card games later with my wife, sister-in-law and brother-in-law.  Catan and exploding kittens :-)

Good lord I need a drink soon. 1.5 hours later and still waiting at Jiffy Lube for them to do an oil change and tire rotation...

[HitInAPinch]

Rosario and Dozier on base.  Knuckballer on the mound.  No double steal attempt??

[HitInAPinch]
