0 and 2.

 

It's the count he's in most often.

I was thinking 4 and 3.

[Gibby]

 

If it’s working for them, why change?

 

 As a 16 year old. back in the 70s, I discovered, that I never got carded in places like that. It was kinda icky though.

And maybe some of the same dancers that were there when I was a cabbie 15 years ago?

Houston Manager, Hinch, said in an interview pre-game during one of the last playoffs, that Marwin was the best shortstop on the team, and the best third baseman (talking fielding not hitting). That is saying something considering Correa and Berkman.

What a different world we live in... nowadays

Buy me a beer!

See you at the end of the 3rd inning! I’m wearing a purple shirt.

[Gibby]

 

  Morneau certainly get's into the minutia of things.

  CDH shirt?

Way to go Rosario! Remind me, why is Kepler leading off instead of hitting 7th or so?

Probably because coming into 2019 he had the best BB rate and obp of anyone on the roster other than Nelson Cruz.

[luckylager]

Good Gibby on the mound tonight!

[Danchat]

So... Gibby's looking pretty good so far!

[Gibby]

 

and ... a 7 pitch first inning. !

 

  Ok, I'll eat my crow, but I've been bored off my butt by this guy up until this minute.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn, Garver framed the hell out of that inning.

 

Dude has come a lonnnnnnggggggg way since last season.

[David HK]

 

Gibby!

He generally leads off against righties.

 

He has an .849 OPS against RHP.

Are you sure?

Kepler's career OBP is .312, and .304 this season.

[70charger]

Is it just me or have there been an inordinate number of pop flies lately?

[70charger]

Well that wasn't a pop fly, was it?

[MNT1996]

GARV SAUCE

[ScrapTheNickname]

I wish everyone had a swing as short and sweet as Garver's!

[ScrapTheNickname]

Casgardillo!

 

15 home runs for Twins' catchers.

[David HK]

Garver ........

 

[Mike Sixel]

Just got a pedicure. I tried for a blue like the twins, but not sure I nailed it.

 

I'd post a picture, but no idea how....

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Seriously, Mitch Garver

[MNT1996]

Nice turn!

[h2oface]

Was that a "shift worked" play?

 

[David HK]

 

Casgardillo!

 

15 home runs for Twins' catchers.

I can almost hear Harry Carey gargling out that name...

The modern navy version, or the old powder blue?

[stringer bell]

OK twinssporto. I’m right by the New Era caps store. It’s on the first floor. But directly beneath is the Legends Club. I can’t go there.

[Twodogs]

I'm glad the Angels used an opener.
