Rack em up!

[Aggies7]

 

I love that usbank commercial and so does Aggies7!!!!!!!

oooohhh you working so lateeee

[MVP Nick Punto]

Where the Sano haters at?

Yo.

[Aggies7]

 

Where the Sano haters at?

why does one have to be a hater to criticize a player who's hitting .217 with 18 strikeouts in 42 ABs?

[diehardtwinsfan]

looks like another good game for the good guys.

Just forgot a small detail. He's slugging .630 with 10 RBIs and 5 HRs in those 42 ABs. 

[MNT1996]

Yeah Sano got him on the head

[MNTSchmitt]

Meadows is blind as a bat! He missed calls yesterday too!

Yes, but when we need to produce a hit in a close game I cringe when I see Miguel on deck

[MMMordabito]

Hey Meadows,

 

[Aggies7]

Yes, but when we need to produce a hit in a close game I cringe when I see Miguel on deck

This. And a team choosing to pitch to him instead of adrianZa. Yeesh

[Aggies7]

So any criticism of him is unfair without being labeled a “hater”?

[MNT1996]

Castro has been smoking the ball lately

No, but when I see posts of "we should send him down" and "we should trade him" I can't help but laugh because those same people vanish as soon as Sano gets a HR or a big hit.

[MNTSchmitt]

Trading Sano gives me nightmares of another Big Papi decision.

[mrtwinsfan]

Sano has to get his strike out rate down,- thats my thing with him

[Blake]

I've been gone, winning money in a shooting competition.

 

What'd I miss?

[Blake]

 

Castro has been smoking the ball lately

contract year?

[MNTSchmitt]

I think if we pull this game out, doubt about us not being able to hang with above .500 teams should quiet down. We've played well against the Astros, Brewers, now the Rays.

[MNT1996]

Yeah that wasn't a bad pitch. Just gotta tip the cap to Arroyo

[MNTSchmitt]

Come on Harper, settle down.

[MNTSchmitt]

We need Kimbrel.....please!

Caution, nitpick alert.

I've had the game on since the beginning today but haven't had the opportunity to chime in. I'm going to comment on the play earlier in the game in which Schoop was ruled safe at third when a TB infielder got in his way. Dick said it was interference but that's incorrect. Interference is when a baserunner gets in the way of a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball or intentionally alters the path of a thrown ball. When a fielder hinders the progress of a baserunner it's obstruction. Thank you. That is all.

[operation mindcrime]

Good job Magill!!!

[MNT1996]

If Eddie can get his BA up around .300 and tick that OPS up he could definitely be a top 10 MVP candidate

I think he's top 10 right now.

That's a fair criticism... it's also a much more reasonable taken than say trading him. He's hit in the majors before. He's always going to be a K guy... I think to that extent he should probably get more time, especially since the last few weeks have been his spring training.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Eddie has been good, but that's generous. Especially given that he's a corner outfielder.

If there is a case for both, its interference, right?

WWCD! Really nice win today for the good guys.
