  1. You might know get Ryan some runs, and he immediately gives up a gopher ball.
  2. A hell of a catch by Larnach!
  3. No Luke catch the ball throw the ball!
  4. If scores hold the way they are right now today it would be the second straight day that the White Sox are the only team that won a game in our division. Could’ve made some hay if we’ve done something here at Pittsburgh, but of course there’s plenty of reasons why we didn’t.
  5. You can go 50 games without seeing a catchers interference, and there have been three of them by Twins catchers this weekend.
  6. Paredes is a perfect addition to the bullpen. Comes right in and very efficiently walks a guy on four pitches.
  7. It’s nice that Buxton gets a day off to rest. I’m sure DH is very tiring. Or at least it would be if you get on base very often unlike what Buxton has done as a DH.
  8. Lucky we missed Skenes on this trip. He would’ve no-hit us, and struck out 20.
  9. Of course It’s painful being a Twins fan this year, but can you imagine if you were a Tiger or a Royals fan this year. Twins are 5-6 games ahead of both of them. They were both supposed to be pretty good, and I think a rebound is not too likely for either team this year.
  10. You’re preaching to the choir. I was trying to tell that to a few people on this site yesterday.
  11. They may as well just DFA Ober now also. This Ober that we were seeing today unfortunately is the Ober of the future. Yeah he had a few good starts to start in the chili weather. Now it’s hitter weather, he’s running on fumes.
  12. They just did that in the bottom of the 10th with 2 outs. Miguel Vargas hit one into the stands for a walk off
  13. The term "golden sombrero" derives from the hockey and soccer "hat trick" (which signifies three goals or feats). Because four is bigger than three, a four-strikeout game is equated to a bigger, flashier hat—a sombrero. The modifier "golden" is simply an exaggerated reference to the scale of the player's struggles. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] The expression has distinct roots in baseball culture: [1] The "Sombrero": In the 1970s, hitting a "hat trick" (three strikeouts) became widely known as simply getting a "sombrero" in baseball. The "Golden Sombrero": When a batter struck out a fourth time in the same game, the concept was escalated to a "golden sombrero". The term frequently began appearing in print and sports journalism in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
  14. Good point, yeah if he’s around next year, maybe it’s a legitimate complaint, but this is this year and things aren’t going to change so harshing Clemens isn’t really fair. Could just as well say the same about most all the other starters or former starters from this year’s team.
  15. To disqualify him as a starter on a winning team is not right. There have been plenty of guys that hit like he does, and are versatile good defenders that have started for winning teams. Not everybody on winning teams are that far above average.
  16. On this team, he is a starter. He’s has produced offensively and even more so defensively this year. Has played a great first base. He’s also been very versatile and has played other positions quite adequately when called upon.
  17. And Larney goes deeeeeeeppppppp!!!!!
  18. That is also true. And even if by some force of the baseball gods, the twins hang around 500 for the year it is just gonna be temporary. They still have got to do something with this roster. Have to bring up the young guys up or signing some people and spending some money (right, sure)!
