We must take a moment to thank Terry Ryan for burning two Polanco options for a total of 3-4 games in 14-15. Otherwise he'd have been raking for Rochester all month. Brilliant foresight, Terry.

"Infante relieved Bummer."

I wonder where this is going...

As long as it ends with a Colon:

[howeda7]

 

I saw hector Santiago pitch tonight, in person. 2 2/3 innings, 48 pitches, 27 strikes, 1 hit, 1 ER, 2 walks

Velocity?

[USAFChief]

 

Velocity?

I'm guessing "no."

So, back to midseason form, eh?

I'm sorry

I think he's a starting pitcher...

 

But he did set a new record for oldest Twin to hurl a complete game.

I think he was added to the 40-man to avoid exposing him in the Rule-5 draft. Once there, options must be exercised to send him to the minors. Unless you are saying he was ready for major-league duty those seasons.

That's not Terry and I'm not a dumb-ass.   Usually.

Hildy!

 

 

Filthy

[Aggies7]

Velocity?

Not sure, my face was buried in a brisket sandwich and before I knew it, he was pulled.

[LaBombo]

 

I can smell the shenanigans already.

 

Does it smell like moderately priced Irish pub-themed dining?

 

Maybe that's Bennigan's.  Whoever it was, their fish and chips really messed with my Bartolo.

[howeda7]

Well 2 2/3 on a tidy 48 pitches. It's understandable.

Good outcome!

Nah. Shenanigan's is good stuff. 

[USAFChief]

Yeah, but he won't be so abnormally efficient against big league hitters.

[LaBombo]

But Terry Mulholland's record of oldest Twins pitcher to hurl at a complete game still stands, right?

[ashbury]

Well, the battery on my laptop is telling me I've been watching longer than I realized. I'll leave it to your collective responsibility to bring this win home.

When Bartolo is taken out, does that count as "pulled pork"?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Belisle fielding his position. Very nice to see. 

[USAFChief]

Mauer slow to make a decision, Belisle slow to the bag.

[snepp]

Looks safe.

 

[John Kelsey]

He was definitely safe, but I'll take it. 

[Aggies7]

When Bartolo is taken out, does that count as "pulled pork"?

That was also an option, I should have gone with that.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

that first guy was safe, right? 

 

oh well

[Aggies7]

Ticklish.

[snepp]

Stop allowing runs, kthx.
