How about that pick to click?!

Yeah Mill1634 should be making it rain at the club tonight.

[SwainZag]

Nice of you to join us this season Mitch!

[Squirrel]

 

 

 

Pick to Click: Mitch Garver finally connects with a fastball and sends it over the wall. 

 

Well ... good call

[wsnydes]

 

As Jim Thome would say, the best way to get out of a slump is hitting the ball.

Much wisdom on the thread today. 

[LVTwinsfan]

See Rocco, putting Colome in a game like this would be considered low-leverage.

yeah well hopefully he threw too many pitches yesterday and we won’t see him today

[sampleSizeOfOne]

He said it right, your misunderstanding doesn’t make him wrong

But he typed it, didn't he?

[cHawk]

No one or no team can even come close to the Twins futility in the playoffs

How about the Buffalo Bills all those years

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

He has all of 15 career postseason PAs because the Angels front office is incompetent and can't build a playoff team despite Trout gifting them ten wins every season.

 

The Angels front office has generally been ineffective sure, but Mike Trout getting them 10 wins actually has hurt the Angels.  I did the breakdown a couple years ago, but Trout has singlehandedly dragged them into the middle of the draft every year, where they would otherwise be in the top 5-10.  As such, the Angels have missed out on premier talent and draft pool money that could have made the last 2-3 years very different.

Thome is so positive in the booth. Seems like he would've been a great teammate 

[wsnydes]

 

How about the Buffalo Bills all those years

They lost Super Bowls though. Twins can't even win a playoff game.

[USAFChief]

First off, SSOO's post was a joke. 

 

Second, if we really wanna get into this, he WAS wrong. Garver saw 6 pitches on both his K's.

They had a time where they couldn’t win a playoff game that stretched from 1991 to this past year

This is a game thread. People need to lighten up a bit.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Thome keeps saying Eddie Rosario is going to be a great player once he gets more experience.  Do we think Jim is aware that Eddie turns 30 at the end of September, and has 2900+ career MLB PA's?

[USAFChief]

I tell ya, people can be so mean. Just yesterday, I went to the libray and asked the nice lady where she keeps the books on paranoia. She looks at me with this smile on her face and whispers "They're right behind you."

[ashbury]

See Rocco, putting Colome in a game like this would be considered low-leverage. 

For four or five batters, maybe.

 

[wsnydes]

They lost the SB in 1992 and 1993 and then lost in the divisional round in 1995. Then only made the playoffs 5 times and lost in the WC in all of them until they lost in the AFC title game last season.

Well yes but that’s still a 20+ year playoff win drought.

winner.

well they had to win playoff games to get to the Super Bowl.

I meant 1995-2019

everyone is so touchy around here, lighten up

yeah ... I got you good with that one

squirrels can be scary.

[Puckett34]

Ah crap, wanted Buxton to leg out the triple there.

I hope that wasn't the same lady that asked you to check her balance.

[Squirrel]

 

 

squirrels can be scary.

oh man ... you have no idea ... maybe a little idea ... but really, no idea

[USAFChief]

CJ Cron was the last Twin to have a five hit day??

 

I wouldn't have believed CJ Cron had a five hit month.

[wsnydes]

 

Well yes but that’s still a 20+ year playoff win drought.

Sure, but they didn't even make the playoffs from 2000 to 2016. Not really the same thing.

Technically, Polanco had a five hit day last year -- but it was a doubleheader.
