Yeesh, Sano.

 

We'll take the 2-2 tie though. Twins can still steal this one.

[USAFChief]

lol. 15 consecutive "Sano/high leverage" posts.

Sorry, but I love Pizza Ranch...

dislike. sorry. Still friends?

 

go twins.

[Aggies7]

I guess that wasn't high enough leverage.

Nah, the game was tied, it’s not like the twins were down by a couple runs,

.

[glunn]

Twins need to learn better how to lay off the high pitches.

[Duker]

Could’ve expected the end of that inning.

Bring back Austidillo, at least he’s hitting

In Rochester. Sano wasn’t hitting that well

Down there either.

[twinsbaby]

Rocco needs to someone pitch hit for Sano. He can't MAKE CONTACT.

[Aggies7]

lol. 15 consecutive "Sano/high leverage" posts.

Dude has more K’s than RBI with RISP over the last 4 seasons and we aren’t allowed to criticize. It’s bonkers

[70charger]

Now it's just our bullpen against theirs, in an epic fight to the...

 

Oh. 

 

Wait.

[Nine of twelve]

 

Twins need to learn better how to lay off the high pitches.

If anyone figures it out it will be the first time in over 100 years.

[MNT1996]

Yay! A closer with a 1.20 WHIP! *sigh*

[notoriousgod71]

 

Somebody has got to tell Sano to swing or not.

 

Edit, literally ninja'd by Jack Morris. Not sure how I feel about that.

 

I find that Jack says the same things on air that I yell from my couch.

[twinsbaby]

Sano's whiff% is incredibly high, that's not to be successful at the highest level.

[70charger]

Batting coach needs to sit Sano for an inning for every checked swing he has. Hell, he probably had nine this game.

[Aggies7]

Can we get our first walkoff

[LaBombo]

Kepler nails the chorus and keeps the panicky TD game thread from jumping...

 

[twinssporto]

 

SEASON. OVER.

Seriously, after watching this team the last 9 years play way below average. IT'S TIME TO PANIC!!!!!!

[notoriousgod71]

 

Can we get our first walkoff

 

 

Alexi Casilla is not walking through that door.

[Squirrel]

 

Hey wait, I was told the game was over. WTF?

Who told you that? Aggies?

[twinsnorth49]

 

Dude has more K’s than RBI with RISP over the last 4 seasons and we aren’t allowed to criticize. It’s bonkers

Not allowed? Dude, it's all you do, lol! NO deletions last I checked. 

 

Relax.

[Aggies7]

Alexi Casilla is not walking through that door.

Man, he was great at that wasn’t he

[70charger]

Sano makes me even more skeptical about Brent Rooker. I thought it was a good pick, and I thought he had a chance to be in the majors and producing even by now, given how old he was at the draft. Now I think he's trade bait.

 

A little off topic, I know, but the longer he goes with that high K rate in the minors the less likely he is to do anything in the majors. Any power hitter can grab a hold of one and send it 500 feet from time to time, but it's pretty one-dimensional. With no defensive value, I don't know that he has a place on this team.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Who told you that? Aggies?

Probably......I mean likely. 

[USAFChief]

I stopped by my usual little neighborhood bar on the way home, and struck up a conversation with a fellow that happened to sit down next to me at the bar. The usual stuff, weather, politics, sports. He spoke with a Spanish accent, so I had to ask...and yup, he had emigrated from Mexico. 

 

"I came here 4 years ago, with only the shoes on my feet, and a sack on my back," said my new friend. "And now I have a $400,000 house, two nice cars, and over a million dollars in the bank."

 

"Wow," I said. "That's awesome. Tell me...what was in the sack?"

 

"$25 million dollars," he said.

 

 

[Aggies7]

Not allowed? Dude, it's all you do, lol! NO deletions last I checked. 

 

Relax.

Sorry, should have said “aren’t allowed to criticize without a stern admonishment from the senior members of the just for fun baseball website”

[Squirrel]

I need more prilosec or more ice cream ... I can't handle it

Too late. I already swan dived out my window.

[Aggies7]

Who told you that? Aggies?

Hey Carole. I just threw some dip in. Will that make you move a few seats away?

We're doing Simpsons lately, right?

The worm will turn, Jack. The worm will turn.

 

I was thinking that a wise man had told me that once, until I realized that I was just remembering Willem Dafoe in Platoon:
