  1. If you're watching the telecast then you now know: hamstring tightness, MRI came back OK, day-to-day.
  2. Imagine what he could do with tendons.
  3. Cruz looks ridiculous on that pitch.... and rifles another to left center. RBI.
  4. Frustrating at bat, but that was a battle, and not Berrios just giving in (nor Goodrum).
  5. Jake Cave with an opportunity to impress after a nice play on the carom..... aaaaaand, that's gone. Not a major league throw. Goes as a double in the box score, but could have been single and throw-out. Berrios just goes ahead and notches the strikeout on the next batter.
  6. What's wrong with my TV? The Twins' uniforms look like the clubhouse attendant put bleach in the washing machine.
  7. The party line is mechanics. We'll see.
  8. Relax, Tiger fans - you have only 4 more years of dead money to work around.
  9. Would Pedro Muñoz have been brave enough (or allowed?) to use the nickname Kent Hrbek hung on him back in the day? Booger. (Hrbek Logic went as follows: Muñoz = My Nose = Booger.) I've always been leery of Buck and Big Mike as nicknames, so it's reassuring to know if the players themselves embrace those publicly. Among the others, the ones that aren't already genuine nicknames seem pretty contrived, or else are so specialized (honoring hometown) that it wouldn't stick. So I guess Regadera, which Google Translate renders as Watering Can among other things, gets my vote as well, as the oddest among the not-too-odd.
  10. In the spirit of Game Threads - do we need to have a little discussion about jinxes? (Bloop single spoiled the no-no a moment ago.) / edit - and now rain-delay in the bottom of the 6th
  11. Did FG identify Arraez before he reached the majors, as anyone special? I don't have a lot of patience with bandwagon jumpers, TBH.
  12. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MjLKhHyfb-0/T9dywpnN9mI/AAAAAAAAAlM/b5IDTVP5vW0/s1600/Baseball+Bugs+(24).jpg
  13. And if we're really good, we remain rookies forever.
  14. I want to add, it's not because of some special rule regarding September. It's just that you "option" a guy when he's on the 40-man roster and you want to send him to a minor league team. There's no minor league games in September, so nobody gets sent down, and that's why a 40-man add this time of year will preserve all three options. They don't even have to wait until September to add a player, either, just so long as they don't change their mind and assign him to Rochester because of some 25-man roster crunch just before rosters expand.
  15. Malique Ziegler, the guy we got for him, appears to be beset by injuries this year, and got demoted to Gulf Coast League rookie ball, where he is still struggling. It's possible we still lost this trade!
  16. "Maybe" becomes "that's his floor"? Please don't play those rhetorical games on one another. Disagree with what's actually said.
  17. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN PROMOTED TO AN ARTICLE YET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. The ideal Play By Play announcer: "Bother. It's another long fly ball. Probably won't go out. They can’t all, and some of them don’t."
  19. It's a little bent in the middle. At least it's not round.
  20. Hey, y'all thought a squirrel was a good luck charm? How about Cruz's ruptured tendon? I may have to wheel this out now and then, in future times of need. Calling off the joke now. No sense in wearing out a, you know, ruptured tendon.
  21. Hector Santiago. That is all. Hector Santiago. Someone show some mercy, please.
