[Aggies7]

We all have. I was hoping to be rooting for a better one than the one I've seen to date.

Far better, considering the schedule.

I think things would be very different if we had a healthy Buxton, Donaldson and Garver.

[Aggies7]

Dobnak’s demeanor on the mound leaves something to be desired

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So...

 

When Byron returns to active duty, might it make sense to go with a 5 person infield behind Dobnak?

[Aggies7]

And Dobnak, too.

Not unless they’re playing 5. And maybe then

[twinbythebay]

This team desperately needs Donaldson back, and luckily it sounds like he might be back next week. This lineup is hard to watch right now. I guess it's not that surprising when half of the starters aren't playing.

[notoriousgod71]

To recap: It doesn't matter if Dobnak gives up a dozen hits or two.

 

Baldelli will still let him throw the same amount of pitches.

 

 

[Mill1634]

We're using thorpe here? Thought he was starting game 2....guess we're going with a bullpen game again. Not a huge fan of burning through the bullpen in these BP games.

We already have plenty of guys hitting at or below .200

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And Dobnak, too.

Guess not...

[tvagle]

Tuned in to Twins game and got a Dentist Convention

 

Every Visitor has been put to sleep and only sound you hear is a Dentist Drill

[USAFChief]

I'm going to say this once, then start handing out points: leave the comments about athletes taking a day off recently to the threads about that subject.

 

And comments about each other, as well.

 

This is a game thread.

[Aggies7]

Thorpe’s new picture on game day is interesting

[LVTwinsfan]

Bremer said there are 3 really good teams in the AL Central. Indians, White Sox and Detroit?

[Mill1634]

Umpire called him out...but we just turned a double play....certainly looked safe on the replay. 

[tvagle]

That last pay sums up the day...everyone is asleep...am I even awake do I even want to be awake?

 

FTFM

[USAFChief]

did we just see a 4 out inning?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Not sure what got called there. Just pretty sure the scorebard on tv is inconsistent.

 

Good throw by Rosaio in any case.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Umpire called him out...but we just turned a double play....certainly looked safe on the replay.

Announcers speculated some form of interfence was called.

[IndianaTwin]

Obstruction on Polanco, so Goodrum is safe at home. 

 

[tvagle]

We have a Bane Sighting...and no it's not Eddie Bane

 

3rd Base ump be like

[USAFChief]

woof. Polanco, pay attention.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That last pay sums up the day...everyone is asleep...am I even awake do I even want to be awake?

 

FTFM

Yes.

[IndianaTwin]

Okay, here we go. 

 

 

[Mill1634]

hey look -- a bomba!

[USAFChief]

cruz!

[LVTwinsfan]

Cruz

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So...

 

2-6.

 

Still need 4 runs in an inning to make a game of it.

Vargas = Automatic out
