Game Thread: Twins vs. Texas 1:10 PM CT 6-24

Dozier is another black hole in the lineup. I would never let him hit when RISP.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

No, not a swing

[jun]

 

Moliter should of ordered a bunt from dozier

I am not sure if Dozier is going to listen. He always plans to hit it out. The problem is he can no longer hit Colon's meatballs.

Who’s going to pinch hit in your world?

[jud6312]

Can we banish Morrison, too?

A bag of batting donuts? Anyone? Bueller?

[Aggies7]

I remember being excited about the Morrison signing. More egg on my face eh?

[USAFChief]

Dick: “And ANOTHER big two out hit.”

 

Me: “Another??”

Does the bag of donuts know what right field is?

You're not alone. I didn't hate the move, was perplexed by it, but not upset by it.

[Aggies7]

Dick: “And ANOTHER big two out hit.”

Me: “Another??”

I thought the same thing. He sounded exasperated at how many he’s seen.

Regardless of what's happened so far this season, Robbie Grossman is delivering the goods today.

[Blake]

Colon has thrown roughly 70 pitches through 6 innings, yet Morisson takes a close pitch? Really?

 

Morris rightly pointed out that Colon has been in the strike zone all day, so best be swinging the bats!

[USAFChief]

Gold Glover.

[S.]

How the **** is that ruled a base hit? IT HIT HIM IN THE GLOVE

[jud6312]

In what universe is that not an E-3?

[mrmpls]

Yesterday in rochester Nick Gordon led the offense with a 3-for-4 game. Willians Astudillo went 2-for-4 with his 11th double. Kennys Vargas had a single and a walk, could replace motter- wilson and ??  at d.h.

[USAFChief]

How can that be a hit. The throw hit Mauer right in the glove.

[jun]

I don't know who's going to pinch hit since Motter might be worse. Dozier should bat much lower in the order. They should have called up Astudillo. Astudillo can pinch hit for Dozier.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Scorer needs to change that ruling. But we've been saying that a lot.

[Mill1634]

Gold glover Berrios???

 

WOW!

[Brandon Brooks]

Outstanding fielding inning for Berrios.

[mrmpls]

Glad that base-hit==ERROR DIDNT HURT HIM

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Gold Glover.

you mean Berrios?

[S.]

Holy hell, Berrios. I guess he figured if the team can't do it for him, he'll just do it all himself.

[USAFChief]

Berrios is done.

 

Fabulous work, young man.

[LVTwinsfan]

 

Berrios is done.

Fabulous work, young man.

Maybe one more?

[Danchat]

They don't call errors anymore. Whenever there is any tiny way a play could be interpreted as a hit, they call it a hit even when it was obviously an error. Please never take fielding percentage seriously.

[jud6312]

 

Maybe one more?

I wouldn't want to see him go back out there starting an inning at 107 pitches.

[mrmpls]

Home team scorer- and it being Mauer, ya they should change it , but Bremer might have a stroke being it was Joe
