nope.

lol

[Aggies7]

pfft

Not a particularly dry heat. Although I did just turn the ac temp up. I was getting cold in here.

[Nine of twelve]

 

God that was right in the face

I concur but I didn't feel right clicking like.

[Riverbrian]

 

You're on to something here.

 

We should just sign pitchers who strike out 27 hitters per game. Every game. 

 

I sent this very idea to Lavine. I got no response.

Where I work in the summer months, the space I'm in ... the AC doesn't work well ... the thermostat showed it to be 58 deg in there. Now, that is worthy of a call to OSHA.

[ashbury]

HE'S NOT???1?

Now that you ask, I'm having trouble locating his obituary. Maybe just as with his baseball exploits, rumors of his demise have been exaggerated.

Oh come on. Don't be such a complainer. I agree that's a little warm, but jeez, talk about first world problems.

Nice

I fall for that trick every time.

Here's a breakdown of Oakland's reliever pitch counts the past three days:

 

WED: Petit 17, Soria 24, Treinen 15

TUE: Trivino 11, Treinen 17

MON: OFF

 

So both pens are very fresh. Here's a link to the Twins bullpen spreadsheet, if you're interested.

If Sidd Finch were alive he'd be rolling in his grave.

Ahh, that explain why we lost the Mets series...

Remember back in the good old days, when we properly described the Twins offense as "relentless"?

 

Now I'd be more inclined to call it "reluctant."

Nah, they're just relaxing. They'll regain relevance. Rely on it.

Do you work in a cave or underground my goodness

I found it. Look in the early April archives.

My god

 

“foul tip” does not do it justice.

 

Hope he’s ok.

It took a few seconds, but then the loopiness was palpable. You could almost see the little birdies and stars circling his cranium.

[Aggies7]

Oof-da. I haven’t seen every single pitch but I’ve counted at least 3-4 that our guys would have hit to bemidji a few months ago

[Squirrel]

We've complained ... but it's something about their system ... imagine going to work where the heat index is supposed to reach 113, dressed in long pants and a sweatshirt.

Bullpens fresh out of the oven

[ashbury]

Heat index is going to be 113 here on Saturday

Yeah, but it's a DRY heat index of 113.

she's the one with the hair, sweatshirt, and tight pants.

J.T. Barnum says that I was born every minute. 

 

Or something like that.

I work outside and have to wear long pants at all times

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Does hot weather cause everyone to want to bunt? Honest to goodness...

I thought something seemed odd when there was only one number for yesterday.

 

I think I found the problem. It’s missing Adrianza.

 

Or did his arm get DFAed?

[ashbury]

It started not long after they manufactured a nickname for themselves. You can’t do that. Ask costanza

Do we call our guys Koko? That could be awkward.

[operation mindcrime]

Great play by Arraez!!!

[Riverbrian]

 

Yeah, but it's a DRY heat index of 113.

 

Index? 

 

Necessary for people who can't locate the weather in a book? 

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Really nice play by Arraez there. If that was a typical glove-to-throw transfer, he will hopefully cut a fraction of a split second off of it.
