Garver is just... not good behind the plate.

[TwinsCD]

MLB Network talking about how Hanley Ramirez would fit in with the Twins.  I wouldn't mind it.

Great outing by Romero, but he has a flashing "TAKE ME OUT!! I'M COOKED!!" sign blinking above his head

You forgot "SEAFOOD" in the middle

Applause for romero

[Mill1634]

Very nice outing from Romero. Not much hard contact, no XBH allowed. Hopefully the offense can pick it up and get us a dub

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Yep. Only 80 pitches though. Hope he can get 1 more inning

Good call. Turn it over to Reed/bullpen now.

[TwinsCD]

Well done, Fernando.  Too bad you had that small bout of wildness late in the 6th.

[Riverbrian]

 

I doubt he comes out for the 7th

 

You'll keep trying right? 

[gil4]

 

Sano was not in the top 5 players who I would want to make that catch.

He was exactly number 5 for me, if you mean of those who had a realistic chance to catch it. (Garver was #6)

[DocBauer]

Damn you Twins! (Sorry Brian). I should be going to bed but you keep sucking me back in! (Loose Godfather 3 reference).

 

Can't we just score a couple of runs in the top of the 8th so I can go to bed with dreams of past winning years of Hrbek dancing around the diamond with a tutu?

[Mill1634]

Potential development to note:

 

[Mill1634]

Why not PH LoMo for Robbie here?

[glunn]

 

Garver is just... not good behind the plate.

When I coached little league we had a Dodgers' pitcher come teach all of the coaches about how to teach kids how to pitch. He asked for volunteers to catch him and my hand went up first.

 

Later he told me that he was throwing "only" about 80 MPH. To me it seemed a lot faster. Catching is not easy.

[DocBauer]

Anyone else think this Romero kid has a chance to stick?

If the concussion like symptoms that Mauer is having look like they might keep him out for an extended stretch I could see Ramirez as being a good option (on a minimum contract, not claimed off waivers).

[GameDay]

Not the nicest thing to say but Robbie Grossman is almost worthless to this team. He really provides nothing of value other then just being an extra body.

Normally, the flags are red enough to pass but the Twins do need to consider the possibility as Right Hander insurance in case Sano and Buxton don't snap out of it. 

[Mill1634]

I agree with the signing of Hanley if Mauer is in fact out for a while. He is a RHB that would be worth it on the league min. Crazy to see how the mighty have fallen. I remember back around 2008 my dad said the only player he would pick up the phone for on a Joe Mauer trade is Hanley.

Perfect time for Nick to stroke something good!

[Riverbrian]

I was gonna say. "To save him for Buxton" but now I can see the hole in my theory with Buxton at the plate. 

[DocBauer]

I meant, perfect time for Dozier to stroke something good.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Punto? huh?

It's the hardest job on the field.

 

But Garver is still pretty bad at it.

I'm rooting for Nick as well.

[glunn]

I'm hoping for extra innings.

Me 2 but it is much easier to say from a California Zip Code.

There are only two bad things about SC:

 

1.  traffic.

 

2. RB lives too far away,

[Mill1634]

Dang. Eddie JUST missed that pitch. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Ugh so close

[Aggies7]

3-0 with nobody out down by a run and he’s green lighted. I get why but I hate that. Hate it
