Is that why the Vikings can't protect their quarterback?

At least they actually did something to address the O-Line this time

Rob Refsnyder must be making Jake Cave very nervous.

I'm not sure Cave should play another game for the Twins when he's healthy... and it has to do more with him than it does Refsnyder. With so many lefties on the OF it just doesn't make sense to keep him around.

Colome's letter to home:

Dear Mom,

I really suck.  Nobody likes me.  They're blaming me for the bad start to the season.  What should I do, mom?  Oh, please don't have Dad come to the States.  He'll just kick my butt, unless of course he brings me ...........Oh, nevermind.

Refsnyder makes meI think about Bob Hazle for the 1957 Braves - sorry I know some of you were not alive, but it is an amazing story.

[DocBauer]

Found a couple Viagra pills that fell out of Chief's pocket, Got "up" for the game despite being tired,

I am not sure that guy would be able to handle a game thread.  He would end up in a straight jacket.  I have noticed there is not a lot of quinoa discussion on these threads.

[Aggies7]

Haha refsnyder would have had the greatest game ever had he not botched that

[sampleSizeOfOne]

If we get this out, is the game over?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I'd be glad to have Refsnyder's season end like Hurricane's did. 

[Vanimal46]

That would have been the cherry on top of an amazing day for Refsnyder. Dang.

RefDog does it again!

And I will forgive him for ruining the timing of my "dad joke".

The timing of your dad joke was off by centuries.

Agreed. Doesn't have to be Refsnyder directly, but a RH version of Cave is what is needed.  And no insult to Cave. But AK, Larnach and Kepler aren't going anywhere.

[RickOShea]

Pretty much takes care of Rogers pitching tomorrow if needed.

[cHawk]

STRIKE HIM OUT ALREADY

Play like that is easier to shake off after you've already homered.

[mikelink45]

The sad thing about this game is that we all know how bad the Orioles are and how good we are supposed to be so we are all cynical

Bob "Hurricane" Hazle. (I cheated but your post made me curious.) I can certainly see the comparison.

Well, you should know Chief. LOL

But it's courtesy of my pastor trying to be funny. LOL

[mikelink45]

For crying out loud Rogers - just throw a strike and get this over

 

[Vanimal46]

Unfortunately the botched play cost Taylor Rogers being available tomorrow. Not that pitching him on back to back days is ever advised... 

[mikelink45]

So we will beat the Orioles and we will barely be better than them.

This is how I would use him. More than 1 inning, no back to backs.
