First time in years I'm watching games on TV instead of listening on radio....hip surgery silver lining. Random question: I've noticed after the 3rd out (sometimes, often, always??) The Twins catcher sometimes throws to 3rd or 1st (catcher) or somewhere (right fielder to CF) rather than tossed out to the mound like in olden days of yore. Is this a Twins thing?

People here give Garlick a lot of crap, but man does he eat lefties for breakfast!

I give Pagan credit for giving us a chance to win this.

I didn't think we stood a chance after that first inning. Boy am I glad to be wrong.   Great game, nice to see the bats answer the good pitching performance for once!

Nope, almost all teams do that these days. I don't get it either.

No this has been a thing for years now. All teams do it.

The Twins' coaches should show these terrible AB's to the team after the game to show them what NOT to do....

Shoot, they're on their tablets during the game .Have them ditch their games and review their ABs.

I remember being at a game in 1986 and after the 3rd out, the catcher threw the ball to the pitcher and the pitcher walked off the field with it and tossed it up to me. That pitcher was Blyleven 🙂

Varland has earned a 3-run inning from his teammates. Let's do it. 

Not gonna happen when guys keep swinging at the first pitch and popping up
