Think the Twins will try signing Cano this winter?

I predict they will be "in on" Cano, but in the end, he "won't be a fit."

It can't hurt to try. He definitely hits enough homeruns at Target Field.

[GCTF]

Oh noes, I was almost hit by a 60 MPH curve ball!

[notoriousgod71]

I would now drill Perez for acting like an idiot.

[IdahoPilgrim]

The Twins have now set a club record for strikeouts in a season.

 

Sure glad we changed our hitting coach over the off-season.

[Willihammer]

Plouffe's job: deflect the ball to Florimon

[GCTF]

Plouffe just taking up space at this point.

[Winston Smith]

Tony Batista is the gold standard for bad Twins 3b but Plouffie is gaining fast.

[GCTF]

They'll only be "in on him" if Cano's people contact JR. Jerry don't go beggin' nobody.

[notoriousgod71]

How could we possibly break the record in August??? This team is simply abysmal.

We'll sign Chris Getz and hear about how he's a more complete ball player. "Getzy really gets after it out there. He takes the extra bases and is go go go all the time. We love this kid!"

Of course because 2B is the one position we are feeling OK about.

[ashbury]

The major league minimum.

 

Only if he gives Green Stamps with the purchase.

[Riverbrian]

Vavra is still around... The Players pretend to listen to Bruno and then they go and talk with Vavra for the real advice.

Bookmarked.

They understand that Pitch To Contact means giving in to the pitcher.

[ashbury]

The great thing is, it was definitely a team effort.

 

They need to thank the academy, and the little people such as Brunansky who made it possible.

[VATwinsFan]

The A's are stomping the Tigers 14-1 this evening so just for the heck of it I take a look at the box score. Some guy named Moss is 4-5 with 2 HRs and 6 RBIs. The I notice the A's are 11-19 w/RISP. 11-19 in one game!!!

 

It would take the Twins a week to get 11 hits w/RISP.

 

And that would be a good week.

[Riverbrian]

Yeah... No doubt... But for consolation.... It has to feel worse For the Angels, Blue Jays, Phillies and Giants.

[Winston Smith]

Roy has to run out of lipstick at some point doesn't he?

[Guest USAFChief]

 

It would take the Twins a week to get 11 hits w/RISP.

 

And sadly, at least 3 or 4 of those hits wouldn't result in any runs, since they'd be infield hits and/or the runner on 2nd would be too slow to score.

[James]

He never runs out. I'm pretty sure he's sponsored by Covergirl.

[ashbury]

Dozier's team-leading 3 game hitting streak is in jeopardy.

[GCTF]

Zip it, Dick.

Actually I was just winging it when I said that . Turns out Hammer's team-leading 4 game hitting streak is in jeopardy. (Unless I check further and someone not in either last night's game or tonight's is better. -- Wait, wait, turns out some guy named "Mower" (sp?) has a 7-gamer going. How come they don't play HIM?)

[ashbury]

or the runner on 3rd would be too slow to score.

 

ftfy

Doumit is stealing PAs from him, too, prolly.

Not to mentio the 2 or 3 "hits" that should have been scored as errors.

[James]

He's good at framing at-bats. You think someone else is up there, and *zip* suddenly it's him.
