    In vino veritas. Many Americans I've met don't speak English very well, but are awesome at eating French fries.

    Or... CGSHO his way into a three year, $30 million dollar extension. Kidding aside, that's vintage Tom Kelly. When he had a guy he didn't want on the roster, and a guy in the minors he did, that guy was on the field no matter what.

    Ok, but promise that no later than the middle of the 6th, there will be a righty, a lefty, and an AC-130 gunship warming up in the pen. http://crackberry.com/sites/crackberry.com/files/styles/w325/public/images/wallpaper_20090324110236_14685866912.jpg?itok=rFyLig9M

    Hmmm. Not sure why, but this comment made me think of a former Boston shortstop. http://c.o0bg.com/rf/image_r/Boston/2011-2020/2011/09/23/BostonGlobe.com/Sports/Images/Garciaparra%27s%20Habits%207-003.jpg

    Great catch. Considering his previous boycott, it's maybe more than just a good sign... http://www.catholicismusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/burning-bush2.jpg

    Making outs... out of nothing at all.

    1-2-3-4. Fans the side, with 3rd out reaching on strike 3 pb.

    Everyone but the folks in the Twins accounting department Likes this.

    Dick asserting that after 4000+ AB's, he's a "known quantity". If the concussions to Koskie and Morneau taught us anything, it's that a player may potentially not be a known quantity again for a year or more. Kudos to Morris or a producer for finally digging up the fact that Mauer has gone years at a time without swinging at 3-0.

    His middle name is always 'Scrappy', but sometimes the S is silent. Not tonight, so far at least.

    Three way swap: Santana to center, Hicks to the bullpen until ready for the rotation, and Correiazie to short...
  18. LaBombo
    He's on the 40, has had better control than Meyer so far (walks≠Twins way), and is past Super Two'sday. Done and done, provided they feel he's ready to replace the guy who's "getting paid good money" to start. btw, kab is right about Correia's peripherals being in line with 2013, and it wouldn't be surprising if his ERA came down if he continued to do so. What would be surprising would be if that actually helped the Twins accomplish anything significant. May needs to come up if he has nothing left to work on at AAA, regardless of Correia making $5 million, or 10 for that matter. Now $12 million, that's a whole different ball game:p.
  19. LaBombo
    Yeah, there's already a few images posted of him going for it. None that show the resultant explosion yet, though... http://media0.giphy.com/media/T7HXXwrcZ9IHu/200_s.gif

    Well, you know what a computer is. There are probably some youngsters who would need that explained by an old-timer: "It's like a tablet device, bike-chained to a microwave oven full of complicated stuff". Candidate for new expression of ultimate disgust: "Almost Frisbee'd my iPad".

    Cookies tangible and edible. Twins loss abstract and forgettable. Sounds like a net win.
  22. LaBombo
    That has been true to some extent going way back to the Puckett era. Balls hit hard enough to reach the track either have the hang time that you can reach them from pretty far in, or are LD rockets that are trouble unless hit right at the fielder. Meanwhile, any slap hitter can plop a ball in medium shallow L/C/R that's uncatchable for even the rangiest fielder while playing deep.

    Thanks. That'll help me forget about wondering why the best reliever was on the bench after pitching one meaningless inning in the last five days:angry:. As a side note, would it be fair to say that Guerrier is leading all veteran Twins in output/TD expectation ratio? Nice to see Morales get a hit. It will be interesting to see the ripple effect if he hits well and becomes the everyday DH until the trade deadline deal. Sorry, couldn't resist the last part.

    You might be on to something. Good bunters seem to all have pretty much the same technique. But bad ones each seem to have their very own special way of not getting the bunt down.
