That's more like it Littel

[notoriousgod71]

Ian Miller idolized Marwin Gonzalez? That's odd.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Alright Littell! Mow ‘em down!

[obtusebanter]

As much as I'd like to monitor this spring training exercise, I gotta bounce. My daughter got basketball games this afternoon. Take care y'all. Go Twins!

[IndianaTwin]

If I’m not mistaken, Jack Morris once had a 10-inning shutout. Seems like it was in October, if I remember correctly.

[Danchat]

Kyle Gibson is going to get eviscerated if he has to pitch against the Yankees. If the Royals and Tigers are putting up tons of baserunners on him, just imagine what New York will do.

[notoriousgod71]

The sandbox analogy was, perhaps, the worst thing I've ever heard on television.

[notoriousgod71]

Good to see Garver seemingly feeling better.

Maybe he's now at the point where the Twins running him out there would be so bizarre that the Yankees would be too stunned to hit him.

 

Admittedly this has a very limited history as a postseason baseball strategy, but it worked awfully well in whichever Lethal Weapon it was that Danny Glover did the Funky Chicken to confuse the flamethrower wacko.

 

 

[LaBombo]

 

Gibson two inning over/under 50 pitches

 

Yes.

[notoriousgod71]

Great, Arraez is dead.

[Nine of twelve]

This is very bad.

[notoriousgod71]

 

This is very bad.

 

Just another day as a Minnesota sports fan.

[Squirrel]

Well ****

[Nine of twelve]

The pitcher should field any popup that comes down on the mound. That is all.

[jimbo92107]

No, not Sweet Luis! Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhh!

[Squirrel]

And that deserves being said again ... **** ... and again and again ... **** **** **** **** ****

[Nine of twelve]

 

Well ****

I liked this but I don't like it.

[MNT1996]

You can see on his face how much he loves the game and how much he wanted to contribute to the postseason. Can't help but get teary eyed and feel bad for the kid.

[insagt1]

In a nothing game....a devastating injury which sure looks like the end of the line for Arraez this season. What a horrible break.

or you could blame Astudillo, or you could blame Rocco for playing him or you could just realize that it’s sports and players get hurt

[notoriousgod71]

I actually had a feeling Boom Stick would go deep here after the mood dropped.

[Nine of twelve]

I'd rather lose the game and have Arraez.

[MNT1996]

Nobody is to blame

end of the line? Ok doctor

[notoriousgod71]

Good thing they didn't just randomly DFA Schoop.

[mrtwinsfan]

Well Schoop time to step up, What a way to get hurt,-  HOPE

[Squirrel]

Watching that replay, what was Arraez even doing there? We can’t have nice things.

It was not the intent of my comment to assign blame for this injury. It just seems like common sense that the player who is already standing there should be the one to make the play.

The tears could be from pain. And where he grabbed his leg ... ugh ... hope it’s not his Achilles.
