    The chicken dinner I had tonite wasn't presumptious or premature. Now, let's get the end game tomorrow and really assert themselves as contenders.

    From someone who is a fan of a professional sports team who has won back-to-back championships, you don't lose that hunger. If anything, it makes you want to win another one as soon as possible.

    Thankfully, he has a large margin of error.

    Anyone else think that Dozier ball got cement and not the top of the wall?

    And now I'm a bit nervous as to what's up with Buxton.

    Trying to make a trig joke, but i have no angle to one and am not receiving any helpful sines from above. So I guess I'll just go off on a baseball tangent instead. *sees self out*

    It's to the point where I don't bother expecting to score when the Twins load the bases.

    If they raced, Vargas would finish 3rd.

    @Chief -- check your pm's *bites nails*
  12. TwinsCD
    Ohhhhhhhh, Vargas. Swing the bat, son!!
  13. TwinsCD
    You're right, you don't do that. But your eye line when you're back there and that trained should be gauged to the point that both pitches are strikes. That being said, he royally hosed Shields on what should have been strike 3 to Polanco and he just has zero consistency thus far.

    If you call Rosario out on a bender in that place, you have to ring up Smith on a fastball in the same spot.

    Rough night for the 2B umpire....And how the hell can the home plate umpire call that pitch on Rosario for strike 3? That particular pitch is NEVER a strike when it ends where it did in the catcher's glove.
  16. TwinsCD
    Ohhhhhhh, Vargas smh
  17. TwinsCD
    About 10 pitches more than necessary but nice work getting out of that jam.
  18. TwinsCD
    Don't look now but Buxton is now at .250

    Baseball rules prohibit a manager from batting a guy in every slot of the lineup.

    This is just another shining example of why I despise the word 'expectations' and how they are attached to a lot of things. Bux got all of this hype because of his athletic prowess and his performance at the HS level and the low minors. Then you have one-time generational talents come along like Harper and Trout and all of a sudden, people look at Buxton like, 'oh, he's going to be our guy to do that as soon as he gets here'. Maybe that would have happened if he hadn't lost nearly that entire year to injuries right as he's in the apex of his minor league development. I cringed hard when the Twins traded Hicks because I knew that they'd unnecessarily rush Buxton to the majors in the hope of him becoming that next Trout/Stanton/Mookie Betts. He comes up and now that year of development he lost gets played out at the Major League level and he looks lost at the plate. We're just now starting to see what we have always hoped to see. Credit goes to two things -- Rowson for continuing to work with him and being patient enough to bring him long and Buxton himself for never getting down and also not carrying his offensive issues into the field with him. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it -- I'll take Buxton scuffling at the plate if he's going to keep saving runs all over center field. There has rarely been a time when I see a ball hit to the outfield that I don't think Bux is gonna somehow run it down. That's gotta give a pitcher a ton of confidence when he has that out there behind him.

    Maybe I'll get some chicken on my pizza tonight. Well done, boys. Take tomorrow off and then run roughshod thru the division opponents this week. I'm looking forward to seeing ya in Tampa next Monday.
