h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I could have sworn I heard David Bowie's Heroes playing in the background for Dozier's at bat. Dozier must hot have heard it.
Darius Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 You must have missed the game yesterday.You really haven't notice that tendency this year? You must have missed more than yesterday's game.
Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I don't want to overstate the importance here, but this is a gigantic at bat
yarnivek1972 Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I'm sure Molitor and the front office pitching gurus know this - but maybe not I'm sure they know it. But it kinda defies conventional wisdom. I know he's not an extreme sidearmer like Tekulve, Eichhorn or Frohwirth, but those guys all killed RHB.
PDX Twin Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I wonder if Ervin leads the league in leads lost by the bullpen. We would have about 20 wins if the bullpen had closed out all the leads he left them.
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Wow. Really didn't think that bases loaded screw up would matter, as the Padres have checked out.We don't deserve to make the playoffs if we drop games like this one. I seem to remember that you have already claimed many times, that we won't. Already. Is this your veiled attempt at hope?
snepp Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Attaboy Booze. Errr....Buse.

Darius Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Filed under: OverreactionLol, I've been saying this all year. Partly trolling guys like you. But, they have had a serious issue moving runners in situations like that. A lot of K prone guys. But, I'll defer to you. Condescension is directly correlated to wisdom, after all.
FattCrapps Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Boozy! Even if it was a hanger..
Darius Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I seem to remember that you have already claimed many times, that we won't. Already. Is this your veiled attempt at hope?You mean after then dropped 4 of 5 and were down to about 20% not long ago. Yeah, statistically, it wasn't real likely they were making the playoffs then. Why is blind homerism the only accepted form of game thread banter?

gocgo Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Padres are 50-50 in their last 100 games. Not like they are butt ugly.

drock2190 Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Polanco looked out. Caught a break there.
yarnivek1972 Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Polanco looked out. Caught a break there.I didn't think so. He looked clearly on the bag when Myers' glove moves with the impact of the ball.
Hosken Bombo Disco Community Moderator Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Win or lose, at least we got to see Nishioka pitch against Escobar a couple innings ago
USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Prerry clear Buxtons wrist is still bothering him. No other reason to be bunting with 2 out and a runner in first.
gocgo Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Polanco looked out. Caught a break there.Very curious why you wouldn't challenge at this point in a 1-1 game.
yarnivek1972 Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 So, Kepler, Adrianza, Vargas, Garver or Giminez? Garver's probably the best statistical option.
notoriousgod71 Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Garver must not be available tonight.
notoriousgod71 Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Just a bevy of PH options available.
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Molitor has no faith in Kepler, it seems. Go traditional. Lefty righty.
yarnivek1972 Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I guess I haven't looked at splits in awhile. Last I looked, Ehire was better vs RHP.
snepp Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Very curious why you wouldn't challenge at this point in a 1-1 game. Draft position? That's all I've got.
USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Not much on the bench in the way of PHers, Falvine.
Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Now we'll throw our closer in and then rely on a bunch of duds if we go extras
Hosken Bombo Disco Community Moderator Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I really really really really dislike pinch hitting Kepler every. Single. Time. Late. In. Games.
TNTwinsFan Verified Member Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 0-whatever with RISP....ugh
