When do we get to hit?

 

Bat? Soon.

 

Hit? Spring training is my guess.

[yarnivek1972]

So, who hits for Castro?

 

Vargas?

[yarnivek1972]

Are you kidding me?

[AlwaysinModeration]

So anyway, any ideas on what to get Mike for a house warming gift?

[Aggies7]

Bonehead rookie move, granite

[yarnivek1972]

He missed the base. Wow.

[snepp]

Head, desk, bang.

[Puckett34]

Buxton touches first there

[jimmer]

 

I'm trying to figure out what you edited out of your response.

I edited part of the quote to just show what I was responding to.  In otheer words Yes, a manager has won MGR of the Year and been fired.

[amjgt]

Missing the base? Can't make this up

[AlwaysinModeration]

Note to self, need to touch the base while running out a grounder.

[glunn]

That was not good.

[Darius]

Bad mistake by Granite.

[AZTwin]

Missed the bag... Classic Twins vs. Yanks thing to happen

[Danchat]

Wow. Yup, this is Minnesota sports for you. 12 men on the field, runner forgets to step on first, etc, etc...

[glunn]

 

Bad mistake by Granite.

I don't remember ever seeing that in a MLB game.

[yarnivek1972]

I don't remember ever seeing that in a MLB game.

I don’t remember ever seeing that in a tee ball game.

[rghrbek]

was Castro taken out earlier in the game?  Why was he pinch hit for by a middle infielder?  Not sure it matters against this bullpen.

[Aggies7]

FFS how embarrassing

[wavedog]

I don't remember seeing anyone miss 1st base in little league.

[LaBombo]

 

We will always have the top of the first - 

 

"I remember every detail. The Yankees wore pinstripes. Our boys wore down."

Realistically, Adrianza is the best pinch hitter the Twins have.

[Pius Jefferson]

Twins baseball on the big stage.

 

[GardyParty]

Who hear knew it was all over when they only got 3 in the top of the first.

 

I am raising my hand. 

 

We could have Sandy Koufax pitching, with Bob Gibson , Pedro Martinez and Nolan Ryan in the pen and we still could not beat the yankees.

No need. Just enjoy your life. That's all I want for anyone. As a gift, go to a music show and have fun.

[amjgt]

Did Molitor just fire Granite?

[wavedog]

On the bright side - all of our pitchers are getting postseason experience. Boys this is how you get battered in New York if you make the playoffs.

[Mike Sixel]

Is it like the end of a college game, where everyone plays at the end?

[yarnivek1972]

Did Molitor just fire Granite?

Adrianza has to stay in the game. Just in case someone else gets hurt. He’s the back up for third, short and second.

I thought about that after I posted...and Castro looked really bad tonight, I guess my only issue is are we quitting?  Are we taking players out?  Did they move rosario to center and take out Granite because of the missed base?
