  1. Paredes taking the Lawrence approach. Can't give up hits if you walk them all in.
  2. There's a rumor that Manfred sold our next Sunday game to Unilever vision for a Klondike bar.
  3. Interesting that they would hold Bell out of the lineup as good as he is at the moment. Maybe you give Buxton a full day off rather than DH. Caratini makes sense as it's a day game after a night game. Many of us have wanted to see a more consistent lineup with the youngsters playing more and less reliance on platooning. This is that type of a lineup. Also, Fedko out there instead of Martin may signal a shift where Martin is getting closer to a trip down the Green Line.
  4. Our calls have finally been answered. May have helped he couldn't complete one inning, throw 40 pitches, and tried to bring the D-backs back into the game all by himself. Kendry Rojas comes off injured list; Twins DFA Justin Lawrence On a note about today's game, AZ projected starter, Jose Cabrera, has only made 12 minor-league starts this year. Nine in AA-Amarillo and three in AAA-Reno, including a line of 6 IP, 0 ER, 6K's in his last start. Impressive in a hitter-friendly league such as the PCL. It would be just like the Twins to make this pitcher look good on a getaway day when they are going home. Who is Jose Cabrera, and why is he starting for the Diamondbacks on Father's Day? - Arizona Sports
  5. At least he could find the strike zone. He must have watched Dora the Explorer.
  6. I hate bringing out someone you trust in high-leverage situations here. He gives up a couple of runs and kills his mojo when we actually need him the next time.
  7. You're right. Lawrence would have all those poor kids crying and scared to go in the batter's box since he would be beaning those poor kids with all those bad 90 mph splitters.
  8. Nah. Shelton likely has better control. He may actually hit him.
  9. Can there be a recording of Gordon Ramsey chasing people of the kitchen that is given to Lawrence. Just get out! Out!
  10. I was half right. He gave up 4 runs. My timing was off in thinking he could get through 3 innings.
  11. And Gomez will get the save because the bases will be loaded and the tie game will be at the plate.
  12. I don't think he will make 3 innings, especially nearing 30 pitches with only one out.
  13. That has to make Tawa feel great. Everyone is walking because Lawrence can't find the strike zone and I'm the person that has to swing the bat.
  14. Abel went back down again. It was announced before the game that he is having an MRI and being sent back to Minnesota. Rojas traveled with the team so he would be our hope in replacing Lawrence on the team.
  15. I just watched a YT video with old friend Trevor May. He was giving instructions to one of his video editors on how to throw a proper baseball. His editor had better command in 20 minutes of instruction than Lawrence does right now.
  16. Lawrence has an 11.81 ERA with the Twins. That is 1.31 runs/inning. If he keeps to his standard, he'll give up 4 runs in 3 innings and we can still win the game!
  17. They did say that Rojas was on the road trip. This would be a great game to send out Lawrence, let him stay out there and try to get an old-fashioned 3 inning save. Then DFA him so we can bring Rojas back to the team.
  18. I couldn't see '87 as it was on ABC. I grew up in such a rural area that we could not pick up ABC on an antenna. I did get to see most of '91 as it was on CBS. The late games in Atlanta I couldn't see the end as I had to go to bed.
  19. It probably shouldn't have made it that far, but 98 would have to be the worst. You have the NFL's most accurate kicker in history at the time on your team and he shanks the FG.
  20. Doesn't help that they tried to knock him out of the game with the bounty stuff. I'm not sure if you should have taken away their Super Bowl victory, but they should have been punished harsher than they were.
  21. I'm not a Vikings fan so it doesn't affect me. I just like bringing it up whenever something like this happens because being a fan of any Minnesota sports team means that heartbreak is right around the corner, no matter how good it looks.
  22. I'd stay away from the Vikings talk. I think there are fans still out there who bemoan the shocker in the desert when the Vikings just had to beat the Cardinals to get into the playoffs and lost on a last-minute play.
  23. The rule makes sense. IMO, it makes sense for Wrigley and the ivy and when you can't find the ball. Otherwise, it should just be in play and you have to figure out how to dislodge it. Want to blame someone? Blame the people who built the place. They are pretty loose with enforcing this rule.
