How is there only one error on the board?

 

Who didn’t get charged?

 

Jorge or Joe?

I’m not having the time of my life.

 

But, that moonshot, she’s like the wind.

 

And now, eyes hungry.

Eric Carmen would be proud!

[yarnivek1972]

Him strong like bull.

Joe did not get an error but I’m sure it will make the blooper reels.

CBU update:

 

[wavedog]

Looks like they finally realized this is Hutchison pitching

[VATwinsFan]

Austin is hitting a home run every 12 ABs and he is batting 8th.

Yes.

[Winston Smith]

 

Great news. The first September call-ups will be Gimenez and Belisle. Inspiring.

Can't wait, this is so sad...

[USAFChief]

It is pretty obvious Gonsalves is not ready to pitch in the big leagues.

Is this for real?

[yarnivek1972]

The current MLB batting average is .249. It hasn’t been below .250 since 1972, the season prior to the DH being implemented in the AL.

 

If errors were actually called as they were then, I bet it would be a couple points lower still.

[VATwinsFan]

One has to wonder how many wins Polanco would've been worth w/o the suspension.

[slash129]

Hawkins must bring some leadership to the booth like Belisle brings it to the clubhouse.

[h2oface]

I see it happening all around the league. They bring guys up and they do well. Young pitchers, batters, etc. We bring our guys up and the usually suck. Especially pitchers seem so unprepared. Whether it's in their head or they just can't get a grip, they just suck. Change the front office, and they still aren't ready. Change the coaches and managers in the minors....... and they still aren't prepared. Is it just me? Or is anyone else feeling it? We are left to make the standard sing song homer excuses for them.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

So now the Twins are rallying. I don't know whether to be incensed or fired up.

[slash129]

Is this for real?

It's something Dick mentioned ... Not official AFAIK

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Is this for real?

just... don't question

[wsnydes]

Is this for real?

That was my reaction too.

 

That was also my reaction when my DirecTV cut to Dirty Dancing instead of the game.

 

Too much craziness tonight and I haven't even been drinking!

[wsnydes]

It's something Dick mentioned ... Not official AFAIK

I mean, it makes sense in a way. But they can't be the only ones called up. I would also prefer they not be called up at all, but I think that's asking far too much.

[yarnivek1972]

Odds Sano sees anything but sliders?

[yarnivek1972]

Wow. Gotta swing at that.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Gimenez to be called up.. really? like, isn't Cedar Rapids in the playoffs or something he could go to?

[slash129]

That extra guy with the ball girl is only getting in the way.

[yarnivek1972]

And now Sano can’t hit fastballs down the middle. Yay!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Sano facing a lefty, so....

[Dan Engebretson]

Who are the Fox Sports TV announcers for tonight's game?

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That extra guy with the ball girl is only getting in the way.

I think that's the point?

[wsnydes]

Who are the Fox Sports TV announcers for tonight's game?

Dick and LaTroy

[mickeymental]

i’m old enough to remember when sano at-bats struck fear into the opposition.
