Right now Arraez is like the Twins, fading fast. (Reverse jinx.)

I used to be a HUGE Vikings fan, but as they are the eternal losers, have only paid any attention since 1976 with Favre and Keenum as quarterbacks.

The other 40 plus years, zip attention.

I hear you, but a new front office and head coach is always a good time to hop on board again

 I heard it as well and was concerned hearing it. If there are several players on this roster that are “psychologically afraid of failure” then you have a bad culture in the organization. A la Mike Zimmer creating such a rotten culture in the Vikings locker room people were afraid of making mistakes because they didn’t want to get yelled at. 

I’m still literally floored with that commentary re: “stage fright”. It’s actually shocking to hear it. And these are guys with the big club. Usually the guys who lack confidence wither up in the minors. It’s extremely telling and very concerning. I don’t know how you solve it. Don’t teams these days employ sports psychologists?

Signature moment here?

Well done, sir!

[mrtwinsfan]

C,mon C.C...

Another chance to be a hero for Correa..... with men on base. Tying run at the plate. With his second homer it would be 3 meaningless RBI. 

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

All the comments about Ryan's fastball being a weapon without a secondary pitch. I have always looked at him as a probable relief pitcher for that reason.

[Aggies7]

Well thankfully we didn’t sign him to get big hits

[IndyTwinsFan]

Of course he did.

Sigh!

[h2oface]

Nope. Not Carlos.

That signature Correa moment is going to have to happen some other day. Maybe he should picture the bases empty and he’ll launch one to outer space.

OOPS, failed again.  Big shocker there.

Perhaps you shoulda include Correa?

 

But it is also hard to shift from reverse to first with no clutch batters...

[h2oface]

Pagan. Now we're ready to compete!

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

Pagan!

[h2oface]

That didn't take long,,,,,,

How do we reverse jinx him?

 

He is giving us more extra inning practice at least.

[Aggies7]

pagan vs judge part 2

[Vanimal46]

Like clockwork. Middle middle meatball.

(I'm curious how much delay my feed has)

 

[h2oface]

I can't see even an ounce of Twin left in Hicks. Totally absorbed as a Yankee now.

[Aggies7]

Rocco deprives us

Mmm... meatball!

 

I remember stopping at a rest stop that had a meatball restaurant, and being disappointed it was closed.

[h2oface]

In Pagan's defense, two of the 3 balls could have very well been perfectly placed edge of zone strikes just barely touching the zone by the robot.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Was infield fly rule called? 

 

It just occured it might not have been, with it drifting into foul ground.
