Do we have to put up with Sano for 2 more months? He strikes out in key spots with such regularity it just screams 'why', 'why'?

Garver probably has a broken wrist. Just keeps getting better and better this year.

Tigers take the lead. Twins pen is so incredibly awful. Robles is just as bad as Alcala. Twins missed their chance in the 10th. Sigh.

Sano had his game of the month yesterday, so that usually buys him a dozen 3 pitch strikeouts before anyone says he should be released

They had him sitting on the bench when Kirilloff was healthy... but they don't have many other options. At AAA, they have Damek Tomscha and Tomas Telis playing 1B... kinda wish we still had Blankenhorn around to take some of these ABs.

Can I sue the Twins if I've developed acid reflux while watching a Twins game?

No. Gonna have to wait till morning.

I'm told he's quite athletic.

I actually misread your post as, 'Sano had his game of the month yesterday, so that usually buys him 3 dozen doughnuts.' Well, then again....

[LaBombo]

Sano running the bases like a chubby elk that accidentally wandered into a school building...

[AceWrigley]

Hey look, we got a guy on 2B. Ha ha ha ha.

"Pinchrunner, you had one job!"

Maybe Detroit has Rickey Robinson's twin brother Dickey Robinson as their baserunning coach!

[ashbury]

Sano gift it right back.

[ashbury]

Here is the chicken I had roasting for you all at the top of the ninth.

[Taildragger8791]

WTF Sano. This guy has no value if he isn’t hitting 60 homeruns because he’s a total clown show on the base paths. Jesus. 

[Aggies7]

Can’t even get mad at sano for his little league baserunning. He’s not used to being that far from the dugout

Like he's much better in the batter's box?

[USAFChief]

Y'know...none of this would have happened had Astudillo bunted.

[Aggies7]

If you rewatch sano’s gaffe, you can hear someone yell WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

 

I didn’t think my voice traveled that far

[Aggies7]

In a season of incompressible losses, this one stands out

Bunting? Bunting? We don't need no stinkin' bunting. (if Rocco was a 19th century pistolero)

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

“What a game! How about that?”

We need a moniker for our beloved BP Corps. Suggestions anyone? Ok, I'll start:

NLSEBS: No Lead Shall Ever Be Safe, or nibbles phonetically. I know, its not quite syncing with the acronym, but close enough, like Dobby"s devastating slider that turned a 15 run laugher into a drama. 

Anybody got sonething better than The Nibbles Pen?

I'm going with "Nails."

 

"This bullpen is nails."

 

"Nothing About It I Like."

In a season of 59 losses, this was one of them.

[RpR]

Still had a man on second with only 1 out, so it is not all Sano's fault, he just makes it easy to ignore what came after.

[LA Vikes Fan]

Well, that was pathetic. I’m so mad I might not even watch the whole game tomorrow. So there!

I thought it might be my voice, but it's missing a couple words betwen "what" and "are."

I wish that were true.

Seemed rather routine to me.

[RpR]

Dick head TV announcer just poo-pooed Astudillo's home run but without it, the Twins would have lost in 9.

Garver could not have won the game.

And counting...

(as much as i'd like to believe we will win the rest)

No losing after a 6 to zip lead, is still the worst.

[LA Vikes Fan]

I was going to post “Astudillo up, Sano at 2nd, cue the clown music”.  It just seemed to obvious.
