  1. I don't mind Gimenez as a backup. Did we find out what was going on that inning?
  2. It's second guessing but too bad Molitor didn't pinch run for Sano at some point last night for the purpose of getting his bat out of the lineup. I don't see anything wrong with that double play; Sano looked home but threw to first in the same motion. There was a millisecond delay but maybe Sano was just getting a good grip. The guy on the radio made it sound like Sano was frozen undecided about where to throw while runners circled the bases behind him. Wasted opportunity in the 9th, no doubt. Game felt over after that strikeout. Interesting call by Molitor Sunday to judge that Mauer needs a day off today more than Sano does. Also, what did Jason Castro say to Berrios on that trip to the mound in the first inning? The next pitch was the grand slam!
  3. Good setup! Not overwhelming, but definitely not underwhelming. So just... whelming.
  4. and when Roger Goodell tried to start a war with the New England Patriots, it backfired spectacularly
  5. My 12 year old self won't let me quit on the Vikings completely, but my rooting interest is more about seeing in what new ways the team will lose or end its season. I don't think the loss to Arizona in 03 or 04 gets the credit it deserves for pure shock value. I also hate how football starts to suck the oxygen away from the other sports (baseball) this time of year. It's head shaking to watch MLB try to model itself after the NFL with replay, etc., but that's a whole 'nuther post
  6. That joke is just too ennticing for you.
  7. Surprised Counsell left the starter in to face Kep
  8. Bringing in the guy who hasn't pitched in 10 days
  9. I don't think anyone has the illusion that Vargas is the next Big Papi anymore, but I think Vargas would be an ideal bench player. To back up Mauer competently, and take some at bats occasionally. True, no position flexibility, but Fangraphs actually likes Vargas in the field, for what that's worth. Vargas is probably not on the team next year but he can still help this year more than the 8th relief guy.
  10. Next, you were going to say: "and if Aitch can't pitch, I would be willing to step in."
  11. I think I would rather have Kintzler back for August and September this season, than anything Tyler Watson might give us in the future. (No offense, Tyler.)
  12. not really an inside joke, just a pun on moderator names
  13. He could also try a chief bat or a Riverbrian bat /insidejoke
  14. Excuse me: I've never Keppled, and this is a family site.
  15. You mean the Twins allowed just a single run in an inning? Feels like Christmas!
  16. This doesn't even get to how many strikes are wasted with foul bunts or the plate appearances that end in a different result after the sac bunt attempt is cancelled.
  17. My favorite was when Kepler squared around to sac bunt with two strikes a couple weeks back.
  18. Kintzler so far with the Nats: 4 appearances, 15 batters faced, 0 runs, 1 hit allowed, 2 wins
