  1. Personally, I'd rather see him swing 3-0 more often. But, y'know, you'd like to think he could get that one in the air to the right of second base.
  2. Mauer swung on 3-0. You don't see that every decade.
  3. Honest to Pete, I sometimes wonder how you broadcast 150-some games a year and don't mutter "Oh, FFS!" at least once.
  4. DUDE! You gotta give us a little time to answer!
  5. We need game thread vols for all three games this weekend. Step right up...
  6. http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/mt/assets/food/4731791788_f6d2e0ff6d_b_wide.jpg Playing with fire never burned anyone.
  7. What's with all the complaining about Duffey?? He's got a 1 hitter going, no?

  9. But enough about the first two innings.
  10. http://jokes4laugh.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Fat-Jokes-1.jpg

  12. Would be nice to get more than 1 run here.

  14. I had to visit the doctor again...sheesh, that's like five game threads in a row now, amiright? Anyhow, I went to see him because I can't stop singing "Green Green Grass of Home." He told me I suffer from Tom Jones Syndrome. I had never heard of this, and asked him if it was common. "It's not unusual," he told me.
  15. Lots of games in July needing game thread volunteers...PM me!
  16. A couple nitpics with Nick's article: in April, I didn't see Mauer "spraying liners everywhere." He was getting a few more to drop in LF. I do agree he was K'ing less. I also disagree he used to get a lot of doubles by hitting "liners down both lines." He never pulled the ball with authority much. And to me, that is the primary issue with Mauer, his inability to turn on the ball. When pitchers aren't afraid of you pulling the ball, they pitch you differently. Teams can defend you differently...and teams don't even defend right field against Mauer anymore. The entire OF is shifted way to the left. He still gets on base, at least better than other current Twins options. Bat him first or second and just leave him there, instead of continuing to imagine anything is going to change.
