People always shy away from me when I wear my face mask.  I don't get it.

You are just hanging around with the wrong crowd.

There are some rooms behind book cases with lots of people who'd love to see you. 

[OvertheHill]

It feels like Buxton starts every AB with an 0-2 count. And the thing is, he’s a lousy hitter with 2 strikes.

[RpR]

Julien and Larnach only boys without a K.

[Vanimal46]

Watching mediocre at best pitchers mow down the Twins lineup day after day. Life of a Twins fan.

I have not started but you are.

I agree with the announcers, but Vazquez hate infests a lot of this site.

I'll have to defer to your expertise here, Bri.

Looking at Buxton with the face mask in 36 degrees and I think of all the Winters that I have spent in Northwestern Minnesota and Northeastern North Dakota. 

I've seen -30 below air temperature. I've seen 40 mph winds in January. I've done maybe 55 winters in these conditions. I shovel, blow snow, I used to play outdoor hockey, tackle football with my friends in the snow every Saturday. I built snowmen, dug tunnels, I've jumped cars that won't start... I've driven in blizzard conditions where you have to hang your face out of the window just to see the centerline. 

I can honestly say... that the only time I have ever worn a face mask was while snowmobiling. 

Well... OK... there were couple of times during bank robbery's but other than that. 

36 ain't face mask weather.  

I can relate having grown up in western North Dakota in a time of significantly worse performing outerwear and ummm, I wore a face mask umping in 40 degrees a couple weeks ago. Without a hint of embarrassment.

It's cold on that field.

what do you think?

[ChermesZ]

Martin sent down.  Castro will be kept.

 

i do not agree, but I know the twins love their underperforming veterans.

It will be Camargo sent down.  Even though Castro should be.

He's also a lousy hitter with no strikes and one strike on him, too.  Right now, he looks completely lost at the plate, and it's getting increasingly difficult for any of us to watch his continuing futility at the plate.

Martin will stay, Castro has what ever inflicted Wallner also.

Does Castro have options?

I thought it involved pumps. But i liked Rampage more than DigDug.

Yeppers.

Forget the score, Ryan looks good. Making his pitches. 

[Vanimal46]

Nice 1-2-3 inning Mr. Ryan

Concur. Camargo first one sent down. 

Hell, for all we know he might already have been sent down. 

Ba-dum-tschhh

[RpR]

Can Farmer be declared ill and be sent down?

[Jocko87]

If it pleases the faithful, Tony Kemp has homered tonight.
