No way I thought that was going to be gone. F

If Alex Gordon could play 80 games a year against the Twins he'd be on his way to the HOF.

Nice throw Castro. 

[IndianaTwin]

 

And again?  

 

Now at 94 pitches. One more?

Sadly, there's about 6 mediocre guys in the AL that's true about. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

great throw by Castro

[USAFChief]

Let's put together an inning here.

[jimbo92107]

 

Where does he live? Hasn't the storm been past PR for a couple days already?

The storm passed PR a day ago, but Berrios could still be worried about his family and friends back there. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Strike one to Polanco

[Aggies7]

WHY TRY BUNTING WHY

[Aggies7]

This obsession with bunting is enraging

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Ok. Let's see if Mauer can score from second on a single to the outfield.

[USAFChief]

why?

[Aggies7]

That's fine with anyone other than Mauer, sano and Vargas on base

[howeda7]

It's like Gardy never left. 

[USAFChief]

 

Ok. Let's see if Mauer can score from second on a single double to the outfield.

ftfy

[yarnivek1972]

Still makes no sense to bunt with your number 3 hitter. Particularly with a tough leftie on the mound.

[yarnivek1972]

It's like Gardy never left.

Gardy didn't bunt anywhere near as much as Molitor has.

[USAFChief]

Gosh...Rosario K's against a LH reliever.

 

Tough break, Molly,  you can't be expected to see the future.

[Aggies7]

At your eyeballs eddie

[Danchat]

Isn't this literally what happened two days ago? Mauer gets on, Polanco bunts him over to second, Rosario strikes out?

I missed the radio reaction to grossman's bunt in the second or third inning, but apparently Corey was none too happy

Meh, more like mildly, but persistently ,irritating. (Perspective).

[Aggies7]

Molitor really bites sometimes

[gil4]

Hopefully he signs in the NL so the game count goes the other way.  `

 

I guess I could hope KC overpays to re-sign him, reducing the likelihood they pose a threat to the Twins over the next few years.

Molitor's is so entrenched in old school baseball. With these young players, it will be great to see what they can do with updated baseball next year, and Molitor watching from the stands.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

tapper to the pitcher

 

well, Kepler's out of the game

 

he seems to have an aversion to the outfield wall here, so maybe not a bad thing

[Aggies7]

If we qualify, no way he gets canned. Hate to say it

If Corey's upset, will that be the final straw for Mollie's offseason demise?*

At least Pressly gets to start the inning. Gives me a little more hope.
