I don't get why not use Hildenberger there in the 7th? Has he only pitched in the one game so far?

agree

It's against the rules for a rookie to pitch in relief when the score is close. Duh.

Everyone hold your cards. 

 

We will check if this a good one. 

 

Next Game is Blackout. 55 numbers or less.

14-2 loss?

Rain?

Perfectly executed sac bunt?

YEHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I thought you Canadians preferred the three letter dipthongs.

Actually, yes, we do.

None of these is probable but rain seems the likeliest among the choices listed.

And Joe Mauer can't pinch hit in the 7th against a RHP?  His OBP is 100 points higher that the catcher's.  Can't we get any return for our $27 million?

Jack Morris just referred to the sac bunt as a "lost art", but poor bunting technique has always been a problem, dating back to the time of this ancient Aztec art depicting angry teammates using the bat to punish a hitter for a sacrifice gone wrong.

Blackout seems like the best way to watch this bullpen.

It would make sense ... isn't that Breslow and Belisle up front?

Speaking of tuba concerts, the CSO is playing the soundtrack to the movie 'Jaws' this week. Our tuba player has been so excited for this ever since it was announced. His teacher played on the original soundtrack.

Indeed wicked cool!

Twins Daily Posters: "bunting is a waste of an out!"

 

Twins Daily Posters: "how dare the Twins not be good at bunting!"

If bunting were just wasting an out, it would seem to me the Twins are superlative at it.

 

So perhaps they are too good?
