Cocky S.O.B.   Thanx

[Nine of twelve]

OK guys, make it work. 270 feet away.

[h2oface]

And a ball is a strike in the 9th.

 

[stringer bell]

Kirilloff's reputation is that he doesn't walk much and chases out of the zone. There has been very little of that in the four games since he came up.

[h2oface]

Any of the next 3 batters would be sad base runners for the free runner in the 10th.

He knows the zone

Looks like it could be Castro now.

But Castro would be a good runner. I hate planning for failure, though.

[stringer bell]

The other part of Castro pinch hitting is that a fast runner will be on second in the bottom of the tenth.

[mrtwinsfan]

castro,  really Rocco

I never had the impression Kirilloff chases out of the zone but he definitely isn't known for taking walks.

He's not undisciplined like a Rosario or Miranda, though, he's just a high-contact guy.

Giving up a run is not "failing".

Maybe the offense should consider scoring some runs now and again.

Isn’t that cherry picking? You say tomato I say tomatoe?🤷‍♂️

[h2oface]

Time for fake baseball!

[Brock Beauchamp]

I like putting Duran out there for the tenth in this situation.

[h2oface]

Pretty slow spin for Duran.

[h2oface]

Getting away with center center meat.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Aw, Morneau, Gallo could throw that ball with the wrong hand falling backwards and still get the ball in faster than Gordon.

[Parfigliano]

Why is Gallo fielding that?  Why?

[mrtwinsfan]

Taylor would of been calling for that , nice play Gallo

[Nine of twelve]

Well played by the Padres.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Because Gallo's arm is about 14,000x stronger than Gordon's?

Also, Gordon needs to take command of the OF in that situation.

[h2oface]

Damn. Good baseball by the Padres. Advance the runner with a fly ball, bunt him in. Just what the Twins should do. Successfully. Great bunt by Nola.

[HokieRif]

Well…

[OvertheHill]

Trying to stay positive, but every team seems to put on a small ball clinic against us.
