After a very nice sweep of the very bad team, Baltimore, the Twins face a team that is the opposite of very bad, the Houston Astros.   This is a good test on this home stand and, hopefully, the home t

So the “lefty heavy lineup” includes 2 righties and a lefty on the bench? That’s doesn’t seem that abnormal.

We have only a 3-man bench, so an extreme platoon situation is hard to do. They could use the lefty-hitting catcher, except his career numbers against Verlander are atrocious. I think it's fair to say that lefty-heavy is their approach to the game, modified with pragmatism.

Any good reason why cruz isn't in the lineup today?

He has a poor record against Zoolander, and they could get Cave in and rest Rosie while having an extra left-handed batter.

He has a .767 career OPS vs Verlander. While that is well off his career mark, it probably is better than a lot of the guys IN the lineup. This just in: Verlander doesn’t suck.

Nice to hear, but I'd much rather step on Cleveland's throat here and now and play one of those wild carders in the first round. Own it, baby.

So would I. In fact, I don't really agree with the experts that Cleveland is going to run away with this division. I don't think they're that good. This division is winnable, but any playoff appearance is better than what we've seen for the majority of the last decade.

That 0-2 yakker to Cave was just unfair. Not really a strike but not the kind of pitch you dare to lay off, but not the kind of pitch you can likely do anything with if you do swing. Choose your poison, you're out either way.

That might not feel good, when the bat makes contact with the catcher's mitt like that - and then to add insult to (not really an) injury, Chirinos gets charged with an error.

 

Ehire is really having himself a night. :)

Oh. My. Gosh. I'm getting so tired of this. ANOTHER phone call from Mrs Chief complaining about car issues. She calls me like, once a week with some huge car crisis or another. "Won't start." "Flat tire." yada yada yada.

 

Well, it just happened again. I'm at work and wouldn't you know it, a phone call from Mrs Chief.

 

"Honey, can you come and get me?"

 

"Car issues again?"

 

"Uh...yes. Brakes went out."

 

"OK, where are you?"

 

"I'm in the CVS on 22nd St."

 

"OK, be there in a few. Where's your car?"

 

"Uh...in the CVS on 22nd St."

oh my gawd...i just spit my beer all over the wall!!..lmmfao
