Straw poll: is it batting around just by virtue of the 9th guy coming to the plate in an inning? Or does he need to reach, and have the 10th guy come up? My vote: the former.

The latter. Need to close the circle.

[Aggies7]

Holy mackerel, over 40 pitches

[Nine of twelve]

Well, that was a fairly good inning.

I should have just answered yes.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A lead?!

 

No way!

[ashbury]

Man, you really have to be bad to allow 5 runs in one inning to this club

 

Yeah, what Carole said. We're invoking the Riverbrian Rule: no bad moods.

The ninth batter has to complete the AB. For example if a runner is caught stealing during the plate appearance it's not batting around.

Did somebody say red shirts?

 

[ashbury]

I should have just answered yes.

Chief's not here yet. I won't tell on you.

Oy, not the Star Trek meme again.

[ashbury]

Well, that was a fairly good inning.

In other news, the Rays and Yankees were fairly pleased with their recent contests against the Twins.

[ashbury]

Oy, not the Star Trek meme again.

You forgot to open hailing frequencies before hitting him with that photon torpedo.

 

"We come in peace. Phasers on kill."

[Jerr]

 

I should have just answered yes.

Concur.

[VATwinsFan]

Who is that droning on on the Twins TV feed?

[ashbury]

Nice inning by Hughes after the lead was taken. Just what we needed.

[Aggies7]

Yeah, what Carole said. We're invoking the Riverbrian Rule: no bad moods.

You must have missed the

[ashbury]

OK, no more taking close pitches against this guy. Looking at you now, Joe Mauer. We no longer want to run up his pitch count - we want Castillo in for as long as his manager will let him stay!

 

/ edit - oh well, so much for that strategy

[Squirrel]

You must have missed the

/swat!

 

This is fun.

Romero got roughed up a bit this evening (5 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 6 BB) against Syracuse who happens to have a catcher with the last name of "Kieboom".  You can have some fun with that name.

Browsing this thread is really making me think twice about purchasing that red Twins shirt few weeks back.

 

Is it that bad of a look?

No, I like the red. It’s my favorite color. But then all the colors are my favorite color. Except green.

Just making sure.    JC would've been a real blast from the past.

How about plaid?

[Squirrel]

How about plaid?

As long as it doesn’t have any green in it.

[Mill1634]

Hughes looks less than ideal against a poor Reds lineup. 

[ashbury]

We need more innings out of Phil than just this.
