Welcome back Robbie!

[TwinsCD]

SPLASHDOWN!!!

 

Welcome back, Robbie G!

[yarnivek1972]

A splash smash!

[Aggies7]

How hokey that there's a tank of rays in right center

[twinssporto]

Robbie!!!

[ashbury]

Ker-PLUNK!!!!

[Don Walcott]

If Grossman injured a ray, will he be charged with a crime?

And the sting rays in there, minding their own business, all of a sudden saying "wtf was that?"

I'm no peta activist, but that is sort of messed up

[ashbury]

I tuned in late, but are the Rays not playing the shift against Mauer?

I don't believe the rules in St. Pete are the same as the ones in Toronto with sea gulls.

[yarnivek1972]

You have to run for Mauer, not? Adrianza I would guess, since Granite has already been used.

[yarnivek1972]

Not often you would see double barreled action in a bullpen with one's closer on the mound.

[Aggies7]

LET'S GO!!

[twinssporto]

Rally baby

[yarnivek1972]

Wow. I hate shifts.

[twinssporto]

Lame.

[snepp]

Bah, effin' shift.

[Aggies7]

That's a brutal way to lose. FML

[ashbury]

Had their chances, there at the end. Get 'em tomorrow.

[Aggies7]

I would have bet $1,000,000 Eddie was going to swing first pitch.

[Ultima Ratio]

Can't be too upset, but why not take a pitch with a guy having trouble finding the zone, grrrr.

[mickeymental]

shoulda bunted.

[nytwinsfan]

Should have had Polanco running on that. Could have broken up the double play, and good chance they would not have thrown even if the pitch isn't hit.

[TwinsCD]

Guy is having problems throwing strikes and Rosario just has to jump on that first pitch.  Goddammit, be freakin patient up there and at least get it into the outfield!!

[notoriousgod71]

At least they're getting their slump out of the way so they can get hot in another week or so,

[DaveW]

Rosario is delmon young 2.0

 

Trade him. He will never be more than a solid regular who will never reach his peak for more than a few weeks at a time

[ashbury]

Chicken dinner set aside for another night:

I can be upset. They did jack****e for 8 innings against a struggling starter and the BP. Offense has taken a couple nights off. Good start by Bart. Now we have to rely on sleegers tomorrow to avoid the sweep. Bad series loss, again, to a very flawed team trying to catch us.

 

Now 8-8 the last few weeks against the likes of the white sox, blue jays, royals and rays. AINT GONNA GET IT DONE THAT WAY
