Ohhh Johnathan....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Catch 22?

I can only hope...

 

But alas, see previous post.

 

Unless of course you are referring to a putout in baseball where a foulball dings of the catcher, then something else still in play (a metrodome speaker? umpire?) and the catcher is able to snag that ricochet.

 

But i suppose that would be a 2-2 catch...

[stringer bell]

I don’t think we score any more this inning.

[HawksNest]

That Schoop strikeout was the least surprising thing ever haha.

 

Hope Castro can deliver!!!

[PDX Twin]

Is umpire Ron Kulpa's nickname "Mea"?

[Squirrel]

Nice jinx, stringer. I blame you.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Surprise surprise

[wabene]

Bummer just one but that's a some pitches

[LVTwinsfan]

Don't announce it!

you jinxed it

[HawksNest]

Good to get a run there but really bummed we couldn't capitalize on the bases loaded with 1 out. No guarantee we get that kind of chance again.

 

Hope Bauer doesn't get settled in 

[MVP Nick Punto]

Well, if Maximilian Kepler-Różycki, bombs one every at bat, we should still end up with 4 runs and a chance to win the game.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Now, before the game started, I was considering making a Kepler-Call for this game. It still counts now, right?

Run counts, and that's really all that counts anyway.

 

Jinxs and almost-calls are too hard for me to call.

But it makes for a fine discussion.

 

I am thinking of callling a Chief joke...

[snotboogie]

Ugh. Our BA with RISP has to be pretty miserable. At least at seems that way when I'm watching a game.

[LVTwinsfan]

21 pitches and he has to face Kepler next inning

[LVTwinsfan]

Now that’s picking him off

Schoop's the worst on the team by a long shot in the "productive out" category, ie getting runners over, sac flies, etc.

[Nine of twelve]

Nice!

[wabene]

Twin freaking killing!

[Darius]

Baldelli is very Gardenhire-esque with his lineup.

 

Only, instead of some obscure second baseman permanently planted in the 2-hole, is Marwin in the 4-hole and Buxton in th 9-hole.

Isn't calling a Chief joke like calling that the sun will rise in the morning.

[bighat]

Interesting that Arraez got the nod over Schoop in the 2nd half opener last night. Any explanation for that? At face value it looks like Rocco sending a message that the job's officially open for competition.

A thread without a Chief joke is like a day without <insert comment here>

[wabene]

Odo yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! Join me Opo- MC!!!!!!

[Nine of twelve]

LOOK AT THAT!

[MVP Nick Punto]

I'm glad that Jake climbed out of his Cave today.

[wabene]

Jake freaking cave!!!!!!

[snotboogie]

 

Cave!

[Han Joelo]

Did not realize Cave was currently on the roster.  But, there he is.

[PDX Twin]

Bases emply ... check.

 

Nobody out ... check.

 

Must be okay to hit a homerun.

 

[wabene]

Was bombed when I saw caves name on the lineup card today shows you how much I know
