Heh. Polanco might need a relay to get the ball to 1st.

Logistically speaking, who would be the cutoff man in that scenario?

I guess the pitcher.

Have to be the pitcher

[LewFordLives]

1 for 10 RISP today.  More of the same....

[LewFordLives]

And 12 K's through 7. Pathetic 

[Parfigliano]

Extending their league leading K total.

Along with our gross incompetence facing lefties.

I'm sorry, the answer we were looking for is 'yes'.  

@Squirrel, you have the board.

[RpR]

Now Pagan will have three 1-2-3 innings and the Twins lose 3-2.

OR, maybe not.

Need to get that season strikeout record by mid-September. Don't want the pressure to not make contact get too much to take down the stretch. 

[OptimisticTwinsFan]

That Jeffers reaction to being hit in the face was awesome. Need a GIF of that.

[RickOShea]

How in the world can you allow these strikeouts to happen?  It' inconceivable. that they occur at this rate game after game.  This is not an rarity, but a constant.  How does anyone explain this from MLB hitters?

Yep and against a team dead last in getting strikeouts!

Too many of them cant hit.

I believe the phrase is, " challenge accepted".

I consider it more a failure to properly phrase your question than any mistake on my part.

Do you agree or not?

[cHawk]

I can't believe I got fired from the calendar factory. All I did was take a day off.

[RpR]

KC at least has their bats touching the ball, even if they do not get a hit.

I don't accept that as a reason, certainly not a blanket statement.  What are the odds that all the hitters on MLB got to the majors without being  able to hit.  somewhere along the line a strategy, or philosophy overcame their physical ability.

[OptimisticTwinsFan]

Lol he did it again

Take a month off, please.

GOOD play by Julien, lousy throw.

I'm thinking of taking a job in a mirror factory. 

I could really see myself doing that

Isn't the throw part of the play?
