[Riverbrian]

Hmmm, game not over.

 

Repent!!!

[GCTF]

Sale, what a joke. All we had to do to get him off his game was hit him with a batted ball and spike him.

[ashbury]

Oops... Gardy clearly didn't consruct the White Sox lineup good. Power doesn't belong in the lead off spot... Sheesh.

 

You get to be Carnac tonight, it appears.

​dozier

 

aozier?

[Guest USAFChief]

You cannnnnnnnn putitontheboarrrrrrrrrrrrrrd, ee-yes!

[greengoblinrulz]

Since Memorial Day, Dozier has hit .310/.385/.517 in 19gms (58ABs) entering tonite w/10r 3hr 7rbi

[ashbury]

Whether its Twins TV or radio, they always say the move to hold up the runner was the right move (almost always isnt IMO).

Wish there was some kind of sabermetric site that tracked 3rd base coaches when there is a decision to make.

 

With one out and a power hitter or two coming up, there's some justification to be cautious that time.

Not harping on just this case, but a power hitting Willingham hitting .210 & power hitting Morneau w/2HR.....I like making the other team making a GREAT play to beat you rather than being cautious. Not like Dozier is a slow runner (at least on this team).

All situations are different, but I prefer to be aggressive always

[glunn]

Ok... For some reason... It's warm in the house... I got up to get a fan to move the air around.

 

My wife says... Get a nice glass of water...

 

Its her answer for everything... She's like the constant water peddler for the past year or so... She could do it for a living...

 

I could be taking a shower or swimming in a lake and she'd tell me to have a glass of water.

 

I have been married for decades and gave up a long time ago.

That is encouraging. If he can keep that up then we have found our permanent 2B.

Speaking of which...

 

 

"Touchback."

 

"Touchback."

 

//chuckles and knowing looks between Ed and Johnny//

 

"What should Glorm do if Olivia touches first?"

[greengoblinrulz]

Plouffe can hit lefties, that is not a problem with his game!!

Eddie Rosario just said 'dammit'

I was thinking more about propensities to hit it in the air versus on the ground - but am too lazy to go do anything rash like actually looking something up.

That creates a very pleasant picture in my mind.

 

On a different note, I once met Johnny. He was friendly and intelligent -- a good guy.

Ashbury: I hold in my hand the envelopes... Hermetically sealed... No one knows the contents of these envelopes but you... Oh great one.... You will ascertain the answers having never before seen the questions...

 

Riverbrian: Would you just give me an envelope

 

Ashbury: Ha ha ha... YES!

 

Riverbrian: You startled me with that Yes! (Envelope placed to forehead) A B C D E F G

 

Ashbury: A B C D E F G

 

Riverbrian: You could keep going if you didn't drink so much

 

Ashbury: Ha ha ha... Yes!

 

Riverbrian: (tears open envelope and blows into it) The earliest forms of Preperation H and an easier spelling of Arcia.

 

Ashbury: A two for one... Ha ha ha... Yes!

[ashbury]

I have been married for decades and gave up a long time ago.

 

Then you haven't been married long enough. Eventually you will embrace it.

[glunn]

Eddie Rosario just said 'dammit'

 

Rosario could go back to the outfield or one of them could be trade bait.

[Riverbrian]

aozier?

 

When you quote it... Perfection.

HEY-yo!

[glunn]

I am going home now to pick up dinner and watch the game -- will check back later.

GLORM!!!

 

What do you say to a nice beer Glorm?

 

Now you type -- Niceness will not save you... From your eventual fate going down.

[Riverbrian]

Then you haven't been married long enough. Eventually you will embrace it.

 

Yeah... But what if it's 50-50 odds that her motivation is Hydration or Drowning?

Sale is awkward once again... He's fun to watch... It's like Chevy Chase on the mound.

Report from around the League: Who is this Jeff Locke... If The Twins would have signed him in the off season... Would TD have torn him apart?

[GCTF]

oy.

That's not really a report. It's a series of questions.
