I wish Funderburk threw with a low arm slot.

Then he could be "The Funder from down under."

That is my wish. 

You can still call him that, and leave the rest o people's imagination....

Duran has a 0.79 whip with the Phillies. But he’s lost a tick on his fastball!

Came to twins game thread and it ends up talking about tomatoes ...

I wish I had tomatoes to throw at you know who ...

Twins scored but not enough to win series ...

Cleveland next ..

Walking the nine hitter on 4 pitches

To be fair, their 9 hitter has a better OPS than all but 4 Twins hitter

Why isn't Lee tagging up, or is he that slow.

This is a pathetic group of players who do not belong on a major league roster.  The farm system hasn’t produced any starting pitching.  Larnach, Wallner, and Lee are liabilities in the field and can’t hit major league pitching with any consistency.  Lewis, who knows? There is no one who can hit and field well enough to play 1st base. Nine years in and Favy’s farm system has not produced any reliable starting pitching or everyday position players.  There’s no reason to think the next wave of players will be any different .  Do not be suprised if Falvey trades Lopez, Ryan or both in the off season for players who have no hope of panning out.  It’s all about how cheaply the front office and the Polhads can put bodies on the field .  It’s going to be a long, brutal stretch during which the Twins will make the White Soxlook good.

Ish.

And by 20, you mean 10, right?

Kansas City is at .500, not Detroit.

 

PS. Ish is a value judgement, i'm led to believe, and not subject to the rigors of Mathematical Analysis. 

 

Even so, i feel compelled to concur with that conclusion, even if i'm... less emphatic.

 

I'm only ishish.

I believe we refer to 66-86 as "20 games under .500."

Me too.

And then toss it in the garbage.

Tomatoes are a fruit best used in ketchup and on a BLT, otherwise, not so much.

Wait, so the Twins almost came back last night? I dismissed the game feed on my phone when it was 9-1 Yankees.

Hello brock ,,,

Twins not playing today , since baseball is in the playoffs positioning stages have you every thought of opening up the game thread on the twins off days so we can comment on the other teams playing ....

Cleveland just beat Detroit  , Detroit still has the divisional lead at 31/2  games , Cleveland is back in the race ...

Hunter Greene throws a gem for the reds  , 1 hitter complete game , just a dominant pitching performance  , NOW THATS BASEBALL , reds now 2 games back for a wild card position  ...

10 games back, but 20 games under.

 

I think i got it. Does that also apply to fielding?

 

Buxton is twice as from the ball if he's going back for it than when he's under it?
