Dick:  "It's driven DEEP down the RF line!"

 

Caught about 100 ft past first down the line.

[Mill1634]

Serves him right after that horrible zone last night

[Nine of twelve]

Good job by Eduardo to plate one. Now Robbie needs to plate the second.

!!!!!

[Mill1634]

ROBBIE!!!!!!!! 

[jimmer]

nice job Robbie!

[bighat]

Grossman!  Here comes "OH-NO".

[ashbury]

Robbie got those 10 AB under his belt and is now good to go!

[LaBombo]

 

Wow — the Twins 5 through 8 hitters are batting a combined .429!

 

 

[Don Walcott]

We’re finally stringing together some good at-bats. I’m particularly happy Sano had a productive out rather than a strikeout. Hope it’s a sign of some progression.

Or he used up his "1 fer 10" on the first of the next 10.

 

I'm an optimist by nature.

It cleared the infield with room to spare, so Bremer gotta make it rain up in here.

Speaking of dads, and driving...as my dad aged he got rather, uh, peculiar in his driving habits.  

 

For example, he developed a real fear of speed bumps, but I was able to help him get over it.

It really should be the tagline next to your avatar - although it is pretty obvious that it does not need to be spelled out.

[bighat]

C'mon Jake, let's put up a zero after your team gives you the lead here.

Dick called a fly ball to medium center field hit by an Astro a popup. But Dozier's shorter fly ball was deep. Homer much?

And may I add that I think the term popup should be reserved for a fairly high fly ball that can easily be caught by an infielder.

[ashbury]

That sure isn't Ben Revere out there in RF for us! Just one bounce to 2B.

[USAFChief]

welp, I'm batching it this week, so I need to go make myself dinner.

The three useless things in aviation:

1. Runway behind you
2. Sky above you
3. Fuel on the ground

What are you making?

One person's can of corn is another's piece of cake.

Man, Twins starters struggling to throw strikes lately. Tough to watch

Mmmmmm, cake....

[Aggies7]

Why are we nibbling to the 9 hitter

[Aggies7]

That opening day start for Jake seems like a long time ago

[LaBombo]

It's just not a good sign when your throws from the outfield finish slow enough that the infielders can usually just pick them up with their throwing hand.

Not springing for delivery? Cheapskate! (That's me too.)

[jimmer]

Astros #9 hitter had an OPS over .800 last year.

[big dog]

Throw strikes...just sayin'
