  1. Gimenez batting cleanup.....were Kevin Maas, Matt Merullo, and Scott Stahoviak unavailable tonite? Again, throw the names in a hat and see what gets picked out. I'm surprised Santana isn't DH'ing.
  2. Have you gone against your screen name at *checks watch* this early hour?
  3. If he has the ball, he can be wherever he wants to be. In this situation, he makes the catch while airborne, so naturally his goal will be to take away as much of the plate as possible before Dozier gets there. Dozier got underneath him just in time and got the plate before gravity took full hold.
  4. Are you serious? After that 1st inning, he threw a CG?? Unreal.
  5. Is there really chatter about plunking someone over Sano?? Come on, we're better than that. As for the situation with Dozier at the plate, as long as the catcher has the ball, he can do whatever he has to do to block the plate. If he's waiting for the throw to come in, he has to give a clear sliding/running lane to the plate. Gone are the days of being able to sneak your leg into the lane to block off the plate before he has possession. Since the throw led Nicholas into the basepath, he's entitled to go get the ball and since it made him jump, he doesn't have much control over where he comes down. So everything that happened there was legal and it just so happened that Dozier might have gotten a spike. That's the breaks sometimes.
  6. 1st time in last 21 games that the Twins have scored 6 or more runs.
  7. Bases loaded again....yes they scored 4 runs....but still.
  8. Such a bad leadoff batter. How dare he hits a home run instead of working the count and getting on base.
  9. Pitch counts stay down when they all hit the first pitch.
  10. I read the original post in the voice of the maitre'd from Ferris Bueller.
  11. You have a free swinger like Gomez 0-2 and you screw around with him instead of just going at him and now look what happens.
  12. The Jack Links Sasquatch guy is perfect thru 2 innings.
  13. One of my favorites -- those who can call balls & strikes from an angle or from behind a fence or from 200 feet away. Come on out and strap on the gear and let's see how you do.
  14. Sooooooo, Molitor must have pulled different names out of the hat tonite when he made out the lineup card. What would have been wrong with Mauer leading off again? Worked pretty well yesterday.
  15. http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/27/27564b31a1c57ad28ecc2c5a8925aadface07277f29de1b474599386af244f61.jpg
  16. Ball cut across the inside edge of the plate. Umpire is standing right there in that position over the inside portion of the plate. If he can't see that, then he shouldn't be in the majors. However, he does have a bit of a low strike tonite. That should guarantee Castro looking at a strike 3 there sometime tonite.
  17. I'm sure Nolan Ryan and Jack Morris never cared about their pitch counts.
  18. First-guessing here.... LEAVE SANTANA IN TO START THE 9TH!!!! No one in that bullpen can be trusted with a 3-run lead anymore...
  19. Did Ralph Kiner get brought back to life as a Padres announcer?
  20. That pitch was a strike last night.
  21. This bunting business prior to the 9th inning really has to stop. Molitor has taken the bat out of the hands of both Escobar and Buxton and to a degree, Polanco so far in this game. We want runs in bunches, not this drip drip drip business. Or is that what the analytics calculator says to do?
  22. Leave it to a pitcher to get a hit with the bases loaded!!
  23. Who has money on a Castro backwards K here with runners in scoring position and 2 out?
