  1. I mostly agree with this, I was going to post a snarky joke in the game thread that Garver was breaking in a new catchers mitt but forgot to stick it between his mattresses last night and rub it down with oil (and thereby teeing up another game thread joke for someone else). However, I feel its unfair to claim that the front office is "dropping the ball" by not immediately trading for an All Star catcher currently playing in another organization. Not saying you specifically are doing that, but some seem to have that expectation. Our guy got hurt and is done for the year. It's unfortunate. It happens. The front office is working on improving this situation, guaranteed. Meantime, pitchers seem to like pitching to Garver, and he is not an easy out at the plate (in contrast to Castro), though the production hasn't really been there of late. It also looks like Garver's receiving skills are not polished, which was noticeable after people started pointing this out in the game thread last night (stabbing at borderline strikes that weren't at his glove, like Suzuki would, and assuring they'll be called balls). He had no chance to catch Romero's wild pitches in the 6th. Garver might improve, he might not, but probably will. Castro is done. It it is what it is. I'd play the catchers 50/50 or or 60/40 for Garver, until another guy is brought in (and then still might play them 50/50, depending).
  2. Believe it or not, but what I hear you saying is to have a little more patience with Buck. I can agree with that.
  3. Good call. Turn it over to Reed/bullpen now.
  4. Great outing by Romero, but he has a flashing "TAKE ME OUT!! I'M COOKED!!" sign blinking above his head
  5. That last pitch was nasty, as high fastballs are extremely hard to lay off even for the best hitters, especially behind in the count. Not sure why, it just is. Keep watching baseball and you will see those high fastballs work their magic. For example, when I was playing back in t-ball and my dad would pull the tee up way to eye level, and set the ball way up there, I could barely reach it!
  6. Again? I guess you had a good feeling about that throw
  7. AGAIN?!?!? (oh never mind, you're just a little slow
  8. Shifty McShifterson makes the final put-out of the 4th
  9. From the fun fact file: Two of the 4th round picks in 2010: James Paxton Eddie Rosario
  10. That would be flying too close to the sun.
  11. Two ground ball singles result in a run Not gonna give up on the season yet
  12. Just like this: http://www.proyectosalonhogar.com/Homeschool/DESKTOP3.GIF You should be all set! Go Twins!
  13. Saying a guy can play at a hall of fame level is not the same as saying a guy is an upper case Hall of Fame player.
  14. Nice photo. Imagine that, an AL Central team winning in Yankees Stadium.
  15. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE SOMEONE DO THAT!!!!!
