Time to quit bashing our infield

[Brock Beauchamp]

So Astudillo appears to be confused as to what position he’s playing tonight.

[LVTwinsfan]

Alright, let’s get some runs in the first inning, I’m calling for an ambush!

[snotboogie]

 

I know it was meant in good humor and full respect, but we try to stay away from nicknames that appear otherwise. Is this what Astudillo goes by? Hadn’t heard this specifically before ... but then I’m not always up on the latest, either.

Well, after his scoring from first on a double, didn't he called himself "chubby."  Not quite Fat Man, but still.

[glunn]

I hope that the Twins score early and often then get home early to rest.

[jud6312]

Anyone else concerned that in all of his time broadcasting Dick has never seen a second baseman more out of position and he thinks it's funny?

[VATwinsFan]

3 outs on 9 pitches. Good Gibson this evening?

Sorry.

 

It is their turn now to bash...

[MMMordabito]

Gibby looks sharp out of the shoot. Need lots of those types of innings.

[Nine of twelve]

Unproductive pop-up off the bat of Kepler. Trade him now!

Ok, ok.  We get that you don't want to see Astudillo anywhere but Rochester.

[jud6312]

You're right, and I'll keep reinforcing that whenever I can. Thanks for noticing.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Good god, Cron is slow.

[jud6312]

Drink every time Dick says "17 innings."

[snotboogie]

Good. I've got a short memory.  

[MMMordabito]

Hmmmph ... Diaz grossly misread that play

[LVTwinsfan]

Note to Diaz, Cron is slow

[LVTwinsfan]

Called it

[Nine of twelve]

Nice piece of hitting.

[Danchat]

There's your clutch hit from Rosario!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hmmmph ... Diaz grossly misread that play

He grossly misread the speed of Cron, you mean.

 

A normal human scores there by a healthy margin.

[PDX Twin]

Aggressive base-running can be a Cron-ic problem.

[LVTwinsfan]

Good god, Cron is slow.

Yes and Diaz should know that

[oldguywithanitch]

 

Nice piece of hitting.

 

Rowson needs to make Sano watch that last at bat of Rosario's.  Take the outside pitch the opposite way.

[LVTwinsfan]

Sano struck out, shocking

[jimbo92107]

 

Interesting IF choices. The Fat Man at 2B with Arreaz at SS? Hope it works...

Now watch them turn four double plays. Tortuga abides...

[twinsbaby]

Another swing-and-miss by Sano. He needs to make contact on pitches.

[Squirrel]

YES THEY WERE! I remember a Poppin' Fresh / Baker's Square on 66th in Richfield, close to Southdale Mall. We used to go there for my birthday dinners as a kid. I loved the French Dip!

I must’ve driven by it often on my to work years ago ... lived near Nicollet and 60th and worked at Southdale.

Winston Churchill was (among probably others) reputed to say, "a fanatic is a person who won't change his mind and can't change the subject."

 

It's also mentioned in the TD Comment Policy among the examples of trolling, for what that's worth, hint hint.

[LVTwinsfan]

The nibbler strikes again
