Powder blue brings back happy memories for me, so I can never be other than in favor.

[Longdistancetwins]

 

Yeah, and I'm not a fan of the Twins powder-blues, either.

I think the people that have "nostalgia" for the powder-blues don't really remember the not-so-happy years when the Twins wore them.  We got rid of them and then won a World Series.

[USAFChief]

Neither team has exactly put forth a stellar effort in the field, this series.

[USAFChief]

C'mon Eddie, little 2 out RBI magic here. 

[Shaitan]

 

Out of that half inning. Couldn't come quick enough...

Been wondering, what with the extra inning rules, can a good 2nd base pick off play become a game changer?

 

Or, alternately, can a bad 2nd base pick off play (balk/error) become a game changer?

 

If they want to spice up the game, we definitely need more balks.

Our posts crossed, so I'll elaborate.I can root for a team that's bad if there's hope, and those powder blues remind me of young Hrbeks and Pucketts.

 

The switch to the uniforms seen in those World Series highlights struck me as stuffy and corporate at the time, and I don't really feel differently now either.

They didn’t look good in the 80’s either

[howeda7]

Bad Rosario is back.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

More runners left on base.

 

Oh well.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I wonder if any team has played in Zootsuits...

[TwinsCD]

Be nice if he'd see more than 2 pitches in a plate appearance.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I like the name Madrigal.

 

Fills me with Glee.

Kent Hrbek...stuffy and corporate??

Got it.  I do have nostalgia for the young Herbies and Pucketts.  I guess I'm going back further to Tony's knees that never got better, Harm going to KC, Calvin pushing everyone toward free agency.  That stuff.  But point well taken.  

 

At least now the players wear belts and don't look like they are playing in pajamas.  

[ashbury]

Unlucky. That grounder hit Arraez in a bad spot.

[LVTwinsfan]

Easy hopper to Arraez, I could have made that play, and I’m 64

[USAFChief]

"For Arraez, that's his first error of the year."

 

It shouldn't even be his first error of the night.

Lipstick and pig territory, in that regard.

Arraez is fighting it in the field tonite

[LVTwinsfan]

Bad luck. That grounder hit Arraez in a bad spot.

yeah, in his hands

You never forget your first rental tux.

I played it in my birthday

Or, rather, he looks like me on the softball field, and I'm 63.

[ashbury]

I played it in my birthday

I made a note to do that, but then forgot when the time came.

[IndianaTwin]

 

I hate these uniforms

 

Gonna have to disagree here. Don’t like the Nike logos across the board, but I think the Twins and Cardinals rock the powder blues.

I think I might have too, and I've had 64...

 

[USAFChief]

"Wheels" Sano.

[Mill1634]

My little league would put this defense to shame
