I can't blame Hughes for sticking around when he makes about $64k a day. But I do wish he would feel guilty about it, and give it back.

Although there's obviously little guarantee ownership will choose to reinvest.

 

 

Karma for taking him out one batter shy of reaching his bonus.

[Aggies7]

I'm trying to think of a worse way to start the second half of the season.

[h2oface]

22 pitches, and not one swing and miss... there it is... one. 23 and 1.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Based loaded, no outs.

 

If there is one thing i have learned from following the Twins...

 

We got 'em right where we want 'em.

[h2oface]

 

22 pitches, and not one swing and miss... there it is... one. 23 and 1.

 

Now 2 out of the last 3! he is on a roll!

 

But no runs scored.... lock down. Now 3 more Twins' runs, please.

Lucky...

[Aggies7]

Ok now let's see if Morton gives up 8 runs

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Granite with his first Major League hit earlier tonight?

 

How nice!

 

What i miss? How'd it go down?

[Aggies7]

Ok, now let's see if Houston gives up 16 runs

[h2oface]

Twins' bats, no problem swinging and missing. Bases loaded and no walks or hits. Amazing, I smell fate! Comeback!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We waited until 1 out to load the bases. They don't know what is coming...

[h2oface]

Not enough, Polanco! You owe us!!!

[Danchat]

Wow, two errors by Houston's defense. This is our chance...

[twinsbaby]

Just one run in......

[Aggies7]

A hit batter and two errors should almost always equal > 1 measly run.

It was very entertaining. 

 

It looked like solid contact off the bat from the CF camera and I was thinking a double in the gap but it turned out to be a duck snort that barely alluded a leaping tiny Jose Altuve... who then threw his glove down on the ground in disgust.

 

Because the ball was hit so softly. Granite was able to reach second on a bloopish double to CF. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yeay! 1 run!

 

Progress!

[Aggies7]

It is absolutely absurd that we cannot get altuve out.

 A bloop that barely cleared Altuve's glove.  He was so mad he threw his glove down in disgust.  Pretty funny.

A Texas leaguer? In Texas, no less?

 

Cheeky!

 

I approve.

[Aggies7]

I had hair when this game started

[h2oface]

Lock down.....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So ... Our pitchers have thrown up 5 donuts in 5 innings.

 

Can't complain about that, can i?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A Buxton double? Or just an ordinary double?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Bases loaded, this time with 2 outs.

 

Psst... Molitor. Ever call a triple steal?

[Riverbrian]

Well Struck Line Drive into the LF Corner. 

[Cap'n Piranha]

We have 4 hits, all for extra bases.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Buxton's OPS is now above .600, which means it's higher than Polanco's.

[Blake]

Buxton out: Guessing hamstring.

 

Nope, groin. I thought something was wrong with the say Buxton went into second.
