Former Cubs 1B Derek Lee? Or did you see Brooks Lee peeing in the men’s bathroom?

I saw Scott Erickson in the bathroom at Hooters in Arlington TX when a bunch of friends got together for the TC series 2 TX baseball stadiums ago.  Most of the pitchers were in that Hooters.

Most of the pitchers, including you, were passionate about supporting family owned establishments

That's where that terrible Roden challenge hurts us.  Jeffers may challenge that if he knew he had both of them.

They need their development to continue honing their skills ,   I dont think we will see any of the top prospects until baseball resumes  , that is just my opinion but it makes the most sense , you don't want them sitting out baseball when they can continue playing in the minors...

If they are ready, they should be up here.  Planning for a full year lockout is not a good business plan for your players.

The indirect result of Roden’s stupid ABS challenge, is Jeffers not pulling the trigger on challenging strike 3. 
These batters need to understand that.

88 mph and 88 pitches tonight, if I counted correctly?

JFC...

[Vanimal46]

Well that was anticlimactic Nance 

[wesnewy]

Our bullpen folks 🗑️🔥

[Patzky]

Hmmm

[Western SD Fan]

And Nance tried to throw that one back to Toronto

[Patzky]

It's par for the course. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Probably rustiness from the break...

[h2oface]

We could trade Jeffers for a couple of Nance’s!

[amjgt]

Is it a rule that all Twins relief pitchers need to walk the first batter they face?

It was the Banda way, then he got good.

[Aggies7]

I’d be more comfortable with Jim Nance on the mound right now 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Oh boy...

Yes, and a hit to the next one.

[Vanimal46]

Quick reminder that Nance has 2 career postseason appearances with a 13.5 ERA. He certainly doesn’t appear to be an answer for a “contending” team.

Except he pitched like this for us before the break

The Hooters was/maybe still is located near the stadium and the crappy hotel we all stayed at so with people arriving from all over the USA met there then mass hotel check-in.

Jim Nance, with a 67’ 7” putt…
