Yeah, four more innings of strikeouts and he's toast. -
Stop it. You're getting the 12-year-olds all lathered up.
-
You say that like it's a bad thing.

I would have gone with Pink and Missundaztood because I am about 15 years hipper than you.
-
Fortunately Mauersie broke the streak of strikeouts with a clutch groundout to first.
-
Well, I'm only going on people's recounting of the plays; looking forward to whenever the Twins come to Oakland so I can watch in person.
-
Even with a talented rookie, you're going to get some of that. (Or talented veterans, for that matter.) I misunderstood your comment to not swing at 2-0.
-
This is the concern, isn't it.
-
Yeah, the word for the past year was his glove was MLB-ready, it was the bat that was questionable. Turns out there's questions on both for now.
-
If you trust him on 3-1, then you might trust him on 2-0. I doubt he was given the Swing At Anything signal - they trusted him and he went fishing. Could just as well have happened on 3-1 then.
-
Well, if you want to take the bat out of a rookie's hands at 2-0, not a bad choice BTW, you aren't going to give him the green light on 3-0 are you? Maybe not even on 3-1, with the bases loaded? (Then again, it's Hicks to follow.)
-
Yeah. Two runs is nothing to sniff at, but it coulda/woulda/shoulda been more.
-
Table's set for Arcia-zie. Crossing fingers...
-
Is Buchholz one of those pitchers who announcers say you'd better get to early, or else you won't at all?
-
So far this game has addressed my concerns about this team being mediocre on table-setting and downright poor on power.
-
Chief will never catch up because he thinks before he posts. I on the other hand can give you a good run for the money.

Nishioka Having Decent 2013 Season So Far

Wasn't VD just making a humorous counterpoint to my message of good wishes toward the player? That's how I took it. -

I might have thought his charity work with cancer patients and war orphans and baby seals would have turned VodkaDave and BadSmerf's opinions around. -
Is it time to move the goalposts forward?
ashbury replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Nine game hitting streak in that span; not sure if hitting streaks end with a pinchrunning appearance. Anyway as his father in the TD Adopt-a-Prospect, I gotta stand up for my son. -
And yet you say it so well, 3935 times and counting.

Nishioka Having Decent 2013 Season So Far

I'm glad for him. He was a good player in Japan and should be again. If he continues to do well, maybe the Twins will call him up. -
I really don't think so. I would have liked an additional signing or two, particularly Saunders. But the risk/reward on a long-term signing like Greinke just wasn't there, IMO. There will come an off-season soon where such a signing will make sense, and past history says there will be a free-agent available to fill that need. We can both agree the Twins left money in their pockets they could have used to improve things for 2013, even if we disagree on how the money should have been spent.

OK. But never underestimate the leverage a small bribe to an admin can provide.
