How do you know I haven't read the book? I have secret powers, you know. Mwahahahahahaha!!!

I will be the model of restraint regarding puns for this one, but its driving me nuts.

Garrett Cooper is making his debut today and playing first base. 

 

I am doing all in my power to be positive about this, even though I grew up with a couple of his older brothers, and they're kinda dickbags.

 

I'll just keep reminding myself it's not his fault.

The moderators will be the judge of that.

 

The moderators seem to make a lot of wrong calls, some of which affect the outcome of the baseball game (thread). The technology exists for electronic moderation.

Careful what you wish for.

I hope Molitor's ready to challenge some plays tonight.  Since, in my experience, an Aaron Judge usually gets overturned on appeal.

anyone here read Blood Meridian?

As soon as you mention that you have "secret powers"... the adjective vanishes and they immediately become "powers".

Usually when I read... it'll be Twinsdaily or my wife's mood. 

[Joe A. Preusser]

aside from the lacerating wit and wisdom displayed at twins daily, all the "clever" judge-related wordplay can't end soon enough ...

You must not be looking forward to the "colon" oscopy jokes tomorrow then...?

Alternatingly frustrating/awesome and........(not) randy?

My wife made Randy move out a few years ago.

  ... Z Granite would not hit ....

maybe the best justification for leaving ZG second in order is that the Twins are essentially facing a AAA-type guy tonight

[mikecgrimes]

Hey did anyone else know hitting the ball hard is important.  Imagine how good Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth could have been if only they knew.  It's interesting to know exit velocity to a point but it's not as if baseball fans didn't already know who hit the ball the hardest.  I don't need to hear about it every time Sano or Judge are mentioned.

Great pitch. Good start to the game.

[twinsnorth49]

Llss....berry.

 

Oh Bert.

[twinsnorth49]

I'm not gonna Judge this guy.

[mikecgrimes]

Wayne Gretzky never struck out

[twinsnorth49]

Only 400 AB's, hope the Yankees get a good look at this guy first.

I'm sitting 10 rows from the field, and I must say, Aaron Judge is a behemoth of a human being.

[70charger]

Okay, great start to the game.

[mikecgrimes]

That at bat looked like Byron Buxton the first week of April

6'7", I read. He'd look normal if Alex Meyer were pitching to him.

 

Or, if we're thinking in other dimensions, if Bartolo Colon were pitching to him.

I'm not going to judge him on one at bat

Oh, I think he probably struck out plenty back in the day.

 

[mikecgrimes]

I'd like to know the exit velocity on that solid but not that solid single by Doizer I bet it's closer to Judge and Sano's Homeruns then you would think.

He can't be much bigger than Vargas.

[70charger]

I love how confused Dick Bremer has been literally every time he's said Garrett Cooper's name.

 

"And ...Garrett ...uh, Cooper, at first base."
