Cave always hustles

 

He really does. Unfortunately we've seen the guy make a lot of outs this year - but even on those grounders to 2nd base the guy is just busting down the line.

LoMo is back

Before everybody seemed to be on Twitter or aware of Twitter, Logan Morrison used Twitter a lot. He developed a strong following when he began his big-league career with the Marlins from 2010-13. He had a particularly strong following with Phillies fans, who loved the back and forth with him,,   

I wondered how his "out there" personality would mesh in the Twins clubhouse, and TBH I don't remember hearing anything about it during his stay. My assumption was that he was submerging his natural personalty a bit, but I can't know.

Not a great swing by Sano there on strike 3.

[mrtwinsfan]

Sorry im not a fan of Sano hitting high up in the order,  Hurry up Nelson

[ashbury]

Tricky infield dirt, apparently. They should replace this ballpark.

[stringer bell]

Pence makes me nervous.

[mrtwinsfan]

Roy its Micheal,  not Miguel

[ashbury]

I could make a case for arraez for team mvp, even though he’s only been here a few months and they were mediocre in that time

WPA sure loves his impact on run-scoring.

Cave always hustles

I never question the man's effort.

 

His decision making, OTOH ....

[Danchat]

Nice play by Cron there, we could use some better fielding in the infield. 

[stringer bell]

Which second baseman would you want, Odor or Schoop?

[stringer bell]

Willians Austudillo has started his rehab in Pensacola. First AB--home run!

[obtusebanter]

 

Which second baseman would you want, Odor or Schoop?

 

Arraez.

[ashbury]

Those are quick hands, indeed, for Luis.

[ashbury]

Which second baseman would you want, Odor or Schoop?

No.

[bighat]

Verrrrry nice, Arraez and Gonzalez. Great 2-out hitting by both those guys.

[mickeymental]

twins have only scored six in three innings? season is over. 

[LVTwinsfan]

That’s what you do when your team gives you a lead.... you watching Kyle

Looking good in the third inning. The season has been a lesson on the sin of Pride, however. And perhaps a few of the other capital vices.

[MVP Nick Punto]

We’ll now, aren’t you perspicacious.

I don't care if that's a real word, -10 points for you.

I'd love this post if I could

[Nine of twelve]

 

 

1. Parkay or Butter?

2. Skim or Whole milk?

3. Cheese or Cheez Whiz?

4. Coke or Pepsi?

 

How can you post these choices and omit the most important choice in history?

 

Ginger or Mary Ann?

 

(As everyone knows, the answer is yes. Or both.)

[ashbury]

Kepler really hustles on a no-hope infield out. Love that.

[ashbury]

I'd love this post if I could

Do you feel jinxed, or trolled, when you encounter unbridled optimism?

[ashbury]

Sano has such poor bat control on those check-swings. He looked genuinely surprised at that strike call from the first base umpire.

[stringer bell]

Keep adding on boys. Into the bullpen early!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

4. yes.

 

And if internet 101 is kittens, does bonsai kitten get extra credit?

 

(i will catch up soon... What i miss?)

Yes!

[stringer bell]

Looks like Eddie was glad to see Santana!
