How are you missing a hanging breaking ball down the middle of the zone?

Isn't the throw part of the play?

Not sure , the but stoping the ball from getting by one is the most important part, -- the throw -- every play has a throw unless the ball is caught in the air.

With ease. That's how.

Looked like he was asking same question on his way to the dugout

Or makes the out unassisted.

[RpR]

And once again, a Twins batter watches first pitch go down the middle of the strike zone.

Because that's just what we do.

[Parfigliano]

1 hit off KC bullpen.  1 of 2 runs via a double steal.  Lots of K's.

[RpR]

Moran, hopefully not more runs.

And very little clutch hitting.  To no one's surprise.

Most people are shocked when they find out how bad I am as an electrician.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Not liking what seems to be the likely outcome of this game.

Another winnable game appears about ready to be flushed down the toilet.

[RpR]

If the Twins are down to their last strike with a tying or winning run on third base and the batter hits a double, is that a double clutch hit?

No, that's a friggin' miracle.

[USAFChief]

I said it at the time: Sal Perez making that play on Wallner's potential 3 run double was game changing.

Should have left Pagan finish the game.

[RickOShea]

Well, Rocco got his groundball.

[Parfigliano]

That was not helpful Mr Floro.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Now I think it's over.

Wrong.

[Aggies7]

New guy fitting right in already!

This was over, when our strikeout ratio was the same as usual through the first half of the game.

[mrtwinsfan]

Moran   e.r.a   over 5 now, Theilbar looked good 1 clean tonight,  in st paul

[RickOShea]

Hit one for the kid, buxton!

[Mortimerkenny21]

Well it's the final countdown, we can take it to the limit and live on on prayer. It's now or never.

[RickOShea]

Damn, we take some choice pitches for strikes.

You prefer losing 4-2?

[Parfigliano]

I prefer Barlow has never faced Julien

Shouldn't have been, but with our incompetent offense, it obviously was.
