WHODISGUY??

What's his jersey say?

[h2oface]

throwing in the towel 3 games in a row...... and I was starting to think Baldelli was a genius.

[bighat]

Corey Gearrin, eh?

 

Rocco not playing any relief pitcher of substance this whole series.

[bighat]

 

Why is Polanco pulling off of every pitch? He is falling over, out of the batter's box. Did he have a dream that he is Babe Ruth?

I noticed this too - been doing it every AB today.

 

I think that day off maybe threw him off or something. Very odd the way he's swinging today.

Polanco’s been doing that for the majority of the season. Bad habit, not sure why it hasn’t been corrected

I think he's been doing it since day #1 this year. I would like to see a tech savvy Twins Daily expert do a photo comparison with last year. He's been more lucky than good so far this year.

yup.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So... if they are against us deseminating the accounts and descriptions...

 

does that make them pro semination?

 

These legalese always confuse me.

Clippard was just in. 

[MNT1996]

I think people severely underestimated the AL Central this year. All teams are going to be competitive. 

[USAFChief]

Dick...we don't give a &&&& about some KC rookie's first MLB win.

He’s a Royals fan

Might have also overestimated our own fellas

[USAFChief]

LOL Sano.

 

 

[Aggies7]

Sano just simply overmatched.

[LVTwinsfan]

Sano, easy out

[Mill1634]

If we lose this game, which is looks like we will, it is a horrible weekend of Twins baseball. Inexcusable to lose 3 games to Kansas City

[Aggies7]

Who had the tigers being a half game back 30% into the season?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yes, rain delay.

 

It pains me to say this, but I'm starting to think of today's lineup with Avila in it as our A lineup. We need Mitch to get it going.

Avila on the A Team?

 

I suppose he could be Face.

 

Just to complete the thought.

 

If we had a Twins A Team...

 

Cruz would be Hannibal?

Sano as B.A. Baracus?

Rosario as Murdock?

 

Open to corrections here.

[Aggies7]

Imagine if we had played no doubles defense back in Pittsburgh

[USAFChief]

It's easy if you try.

Put us in a better position should we make the play offs.

[twins1095]

Baldelli should be questioned on his logic behind recent game play decision making. I want to hear why he’s making certain decisions

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Last chance to catch 'em!

 

So let's hit 'em where they ain't!

[MNT1996]

Why didn't the Twins offer James Rowson a huge contract? You'd think that having that great of an offensive season last year would make them want to lock him down.

[USAFChief]

Uffdah.

 

Arraez, swing the bat.

[LVTwinsfan]

Can’t go up there looking for a walk

[h2oface]

The Twins just made the Royals a contender

and the Royals made the Twins a pretender.

 

Berrios is settling in at about a 5.00 ERA pitcher. (actually went up again this game)

[LVTwinsfan]

Bremer is so happy for Singer

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Misnomer:

 

Barlow is a high bar to clear to tie the game...
