No idea. I never listen to announcers other than sometimes soccer or golf. Music, baby.

Yes. 

[ashbury]

(Looks over shoulder, sees Chief hasn't checked in, this game.)

Did you know that according to a study conducted by the IIII (Institute for Incomplete Information), 9 out of 10.

 

 

[James]

Minaya.  3 pitches.  3 Strikes.  I liked that. 

[Aggies7]

um, minaya looks like he can finish the game, to me

This is the statistical breakdown that I need on a slow Wednesday afternoon! 

[Major League Ready]

Minaya is a solidifying his place on the 2022 roster.

[stringer bell]

I’m guessing we’ll ride the rapids in the ninth with Columé.

Rogers, Duffey, Gant, Minaya, Alcala (most likely)......that leaves a few spots. I'm guessing 1 FA and the rest from the minors. They need that FA money for SP and SS.

[LVTwinsfan]

I never understood Kimbrel’s “big bird” routine 

[stringer bell]

Kimbrel vs. Rooker. Not much of a chance for the rookie. 

[Aggies7]

minaya should be left in, but we'll hope to catch lightning in a bottle two days in a row

[LVTwinsfan]

Hawkins says he’s intimidating. I don’t see anything intimidating about that ridiculous pose.

[Aggies7]

is there a term for hitting below .150 at this point in the year? like being "on the interstate" but worsE?

He actually had a pretty good at bat. 

[Aggies7]

hahaha the announcer says it's gone, CLEARY hits the wall.

It wasn't too far off from going over.  I think Polanco thought it was gone too.

[LVTwinsfan]

If Polanco runs hard out of the box he may have had a home run

[h2oface]

What would have happened if Polanco actually ran hard the whole time instead of jogged past first base?

[ashbury]

Polanco might have saved himself (and us all) a little anxiety there at the end, if he had gone hard as soon as the bat met the ball.

[ashbury]

Jorge, you lollygagger!

 

[Aggies7]

just leave minaya in, rocco. why not

It would be 2-0

[James]

Well, that was exciting there for a minute.

Calls Rooker Brett instead of Brent. You would think he would know a Twins player's name.

I wouldn't. He's thrown a good number of pitches at this point. I'd bring in the new guy. Young, needs to learn about pitching in the majors......

[h2oface]
