The Twins need to make a soft and slippery sliding trainer for Buxton. He is the most ungraceful slider. Feet first or head first, he bounces. Feet first he bounces on his knee or slams it into the base, and face first he face plants and bounces. It is just painful to watch him. 

Didn't he used to know how to slide? Is he just too amped up because he wants to do something because he just sits on the doesn't really play the game anymore?

Oh...... 

YES! Beat ya to it.

I would like to see all game start times standardized to either the top or the bottom of the hour.  The 7:05, 7:10, 7:15,  6:40, 6:50, etc, are just more confusing.  Old guys like me , need less confusion.

It's rarely going to be at the top or bottom of the hour, since broadcasters need time to sign on. It would be convenient for all of them to be 5 or 10 minutes after the top or bottom, however. 

[h2oface]

Larnach can't slide either. It looked like he hurt his shoulder as his arm rolled under him.

I'm sensing we've got the AARP crowd here again tonight.

Trout is the thickest center fielder playing the game right now.

Yeah, he reminds me of an athletic side of beef, playing the outfield.

h2oface,

that would make a fun exercise.  Name the all time thickest line up or players by position.  I go with Fielder, playing 1st base.

It’s legal where I am. Be careful what you wish for. Should make only the edibles legal. Can’t stand the skunk smell everywhere

Yup. Specifically every day at 4:20.

 

(to be fair, if there were any other weed references, i missed them too, and that is a rather opaque one, leastwise until someone who spoils the fun draws attention to it)

[h2oface]

On the 5th day, are they really gonna let Duran Pitch?

Don't get him in the close ones so you finally have to use him in a game you don't really need to because now he needs work, and then if you need him tomorrow......

Panda at 3rd. But those guys are fat. Trout is just thick and muscular.

[Aggies7]

Great now lopez wants to take his turn to make us all sweat

[IndyTwinsFan]

How could such a center-cut pitch be called a ball?  Totally dumbfounded.

Ah! Oh, don't the days seem lank and long
When all goes right and nothing goes wrong,

 And isn't your life extremely flat
With nothing whatever to grumble at!
