See that just it, right there.

If Shagwahhh eventually slots in as an 8th inning guy, the Twins will be sort of obligated to find a closer named Scoobay or the like. At least a pitcher okay with that as his nickname.

 

Hopefully their entry into a game doesn't result in a collective "ruh-roh" from the TD faithful.

Google brings up some...interesting results.

 

Totally NSFW.

 

I really want to get the Banana Foster Crazy Cup

 

Has anyone ever had it? 

[LaBombo]

 

For a moment there, I thought he might fall down right after rounding 3rd :-)

Is there a Ben Revere somersault in his future?

 

[USAFChief]

 

OK in all seriousness

 

I need K Cup Help. 

 

Need some unique flavor ideas and the chains that sell them. 

I like the coffee flavored ones.

[USAFChief]

Anyone else catch the note of bemused surprise in Dick's "And Light...with a 1-2-3 inning" cut to break?

[Bark's Lounge]

More Home Runs Dozier - more Home Runs... Please.

 

This is my 2016 Twins Season

Dammit, Trumbo. Quit hitting home runs.

[USAFChief]

Tough hop, nice dig Kennys.

[LaBombo]

For a kid whose defense drew whatever the extreme, exact opposite of 'raves' are from Twins scouts, it seems to me like Kennys' play at first is not likely to crack the list of The Twins' Top 100 Concerns any times soon.

Hastily scrawled in Brunansky's dugout journal of techniques that help opposing hitters succeed:

Merged it for you.

Agree. And I will add he has a real chance of beating out Byung Ho Park for the first base job at Rochester next season.

Boooooooo!

He will, when the Twins are contracted.

 

 

Only the Indians with 40 have allowed more career home runs than the Twins (now at 39).

North, in your honour- and since the Twinks are in our usual lose-the-game-as-best-you-can mode- here's an amusing anecdote:

Boooooooo!

Cynicism!

 

Yah in general, I think I need to lay low for a few days and let myself get through this. Consider it a mild case of pneumonia or something.

[David HK]

Oooh, another sweet one:

 

 

[David HK]

Seems Canucks are not the only ones getting in on the act--  more inning-break fun:

Once, long ago. Do not recommend.

Actually I'm super surprised that the Indians are worse than the Twins at anything pitching.

Bullpen Corgi spooled up fast tonight...

Aw man, I get about 2 of those back as change every week.

[USAFChief]

It just always seems to me that with Tonkin, the total is less than the sum of the parts.  

[LaBombo]

How you know your team is outgunned, part 146: A .330/.380/.480 hitter is on deck, and your color commentator helpfully points out that "second base is open".
