I cant believe he is back this quick after a pitch square in the face.

Maybe this is one of those 'get back on the horse moments" for Farmer. I hope so.  I always think of Tony C and what might of been, had Jack Hamilton's pitch hadn't found  its serious mark.

Tony Conigliaro.  That guy could play.

Thank you for that reference. I was wondering if I was the only one old enough on this site to remember and think of Tony Conigliaro.

Yes, game threads have been too much sometimes. It seems that the posters are playing “can you top this?” with criticism and doom posting. Twins’ struggles are permission to second guess every transaction the Twins have made since David Ortiz was let go. 
 

The team can help by playing better.

Obviously there can never be too much Princess Bride humor.

Have to look it up but I was probably 7-8 YOA when he got hit.  Weird stuff you remember 50+ years later.

Wait. The Twins let David Ortiz get away?

Just dropping by to chime in and verify that I have been avoiding game threads due to negativity too. It's been about as fun as reading the replies when the Twins Twitter account posts the final score after a loss.

Well, stay and help turn the tide 🙂

Are you kidding? Chief played little league with Tony C's dad.

I've heard rumors.  Nothing concrete though.

Tonight's the night C4 starts regressing. 

To the mean, I mean. 

[stringer bell]

Like the City Connect uniforms as a slump breaker. 

[OvertheHill]

I for one am really pulling for Farmer. Thinking he could really give these guys a lift tonight.

Define "the mean". His career mean or the mean of this offense?

[stringer bell]

The player on the team that is the most important (to me) is Pablo López. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Pablo,--- no more Brad Radke 1st inning reminders,    get the boys off to a better start Please

Yes

[OvertheHill]

Well that’s a good sign. 

[cHawk]

For a second it looked like Gallo dropped that ball.

[Craig Arko]

Joey Gallo: Inconceivable left fielder

[Parfigliano]

Long run for Gallo there.  Why  SS and 3B quit on it?

[mrtwinsfan]

Looked like it might of nicked the grass,    we need a break

IMO that would be Sonny Gray.

Very nice play, but I thought that might be an easier play for Correa.
