Doubleheaders* are freakin' awesome, especially after too many days with no Twins baseball. *even split DHers.

The kid bumped up to the 3 hole after his first dinger. Make it rain, son.

 

Arcia with the battlefield commission.

 

Strange. Gardenhire and Ryan have both acted quite out of character this season and while they haven't hit on everything (Hicks), at least they're making the team interesting to follow.

I have had the feeling since day 1 that Gardy has either evolved his managing, or been told to evolve his managing. I was never on the "Fire Gardy" bandwagon, far from it. But even I can see he is much better this year.

Interesting lineup. Plouffe gets his first time off, "Willie" gets the second game off and Ramirez is the only guy not to get a start in either game. Maybe Wilkin is only on the team to translate. It is nice to have a guy like Willingham on the bench if a big swing is needed to win a game.

Kind of confirms what we knew going into the season, the positions the Twins are overstocked at are the outfield corners and/or first base.

 

It would be natural to swap out Parmelee, so I guess TPTB really want to give him every chance to establish himself.

Alright... Everyone ready?

 

Question is, is Pelfrey? Some indication of a return of the first-inning blues.

From what I can tell, Pelfrey is struggling to throw strikes.

 

Glunn... We Missed you in the first game. Do you have a job or something? I suppose it was too early... Beverly Hills time.

I have been in meetings for most of the day. And now I am exhausted -- looking forward to going home and taking the dog to pick up dinner.

 

It sounds like the day game was fun -- sorry I missed it.

Switching to a relief avatar. This one is a crafty veteran I signed recently.

 

That is a good one!!!! Four exclamation points... One more than my usual.
