Hey, when did Jacque Jones come back?

 

And he throws righty now too.

[Mike Sixel]

I think you need to remember that the “new catcher” is the defacto back up infielder. Until that changes, I would say there is no chance he starts behind the plate.

Fair. Then put him in the field. Or not. I have no idea what their plan is right now

[mrmpls]

Rosario you gotta at least look if the runners going, b4 throwing

[Aggies7]

Things unravel so quickly with this team

[Aggies7]

This is going well

This is going well

Doesn't it always?

[Blake]

 

It was ... now ... for another something fun to watch ...

The Jessica Rabbit line of lips?

 

Anyway, the gal seems to be having fun with it. 

[Aggies7]

Meet the new mejia, same as the old mejia.

[Squirrel]

You seem to show up at down moments in the game. I’m beginning to think you’re a jinx, Aggies.

I was on my way back from golfing when Mauer hit his double. Maybe I should go back in my truck. Heat stroke might be a better option

Same old Aggies.

[Nine of twelve]

Great play by Cave making them pay for bad baserunning.

How was the golf game, what’d you hit?

[Aggies7]

Same old Aggies.

You might get a different aggies if we could stop stinking up the joint every year.

 

Until then.

I’m very bad at golf.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wait... Where'd our three run lead go?

 

I know we had one a moment back...

[USAFChief]

Re: intro.

 

TL;DR.

Aggies popped in and jinxed us.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

where have the twins been hiding this mauer guy?

I think he was playing with a minor club a week or two back.

[Aggies7]

What a catch.

[Danchat]

Mejia's debut was pretty disappointing, but the Cubs have a good lineup. He'll have to be better than that next time if he wants to stay in the rotation.

[Circus Boy]

Rosario homer. As expected.

[Danchat]

Remember when the Cubs signed Chatwood to a 3 year $38M deal as one of the first free agent signings of the year? I don't think it was a very good signing. 

 

It doesn't matter when you sign a free agent (in response to some accusing our FO of bargain bin signings late in free agency), it matters how good the player and the deal you're giving them is.

[Nine of twelve]

Cmon boys keep this 2-out action going.

[Nine of twelve]

Wendlestadt may be letting the heat get to him and missed calling him safe.

What happened to that Darvish guy?

[Blake]

That hit by Adrianza was a hit the Twins have been lacking this year. Yeah, it was nice to get the lead, but the insurance runs were desperately needed.

[Nine of twelve]

 

What happened to that Darvish guy?

Sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make.

[yarnivek1972]

Reed in the 5th. Interesting.

[bighat]

OMG Willians Astudillo coming in to the game to play outfield!?!?!

 

He didn't even have a glove...Rosario had to hand his over. No other options for the Twins in that situation?
