    Timely. Risk another inning from Thorpe? He fooled nobody that inning.

    Tonight, maybe not, but the Twins need a LOOGY much more than they need a long guy. Nobody carries long guys any more anyway. Literally any of your pitchers can pitch low leverage innings. Getting a key lefty or two out a couple three times a week in a tough spot is much more valuable, IMO.

    I'm hoping for 2+ outs from Thorpe.
  4. USAFChief
    In play, run(s) please.
  5. USAFChief
    No, but the throw beat him by at least a step.
  6. USAFChief
    WTF is Duffey doing? Get on the bag.
  7. USAFChief
    "only?"
  8. USAFChief
    JHFC.

    Dude, pick up the pace.

    Coming into tonight, the Twins had hit 105 HRs on the road, 77 at home. ESPN, top notch.
  11. USAFChief
    Depends on how quickly May's arm recovers.

    From where I sit, the ball looked pretty catchable. I don't think anybody reads that as a hit off the bat. You have to play that about 30 feet off second, because if it IS caught, it's a short throw to 2nd, and you CAN'T get picked off with no out. Once it falls, there's zero chance to score. It's one hop into the fielder's glove, who's already got his momentum coming in towards the infield. I'm often critical of bad baserunning, but Arraez played that exactly correct. It's one reason that "BA w/ RISP" isn't the greatest stat. That was a hit, with a runner in scoring position. But it didn't score a run. And really had no chance to.

    JHFC.

    You have to. Or they'll be out of relievers before game 2 even starts.
  15. USAFChief
    OK offense. Gonna take lots of runs to win these games. Get to work.
  16. USAFChief
    no.
  17. USAFChief
    False. It was up the first base line by at least 2 feet.
  18. USAFChief
    If the Yankees are going to start the runner on 3-2 we should pitch out.

    So I stopped by my regular bar on the way home from work tonight, figured I needed a little, uh, extra courage for the Yankee series. Well, as I'm walking in, a nun in full outfit confronted me. "Alcohol is the right hand of the devil!" she said to me, sort of loudly I might add. Forcefully. "You should NOT be frequenting this establishment!" "Look, sister," I said. "I just wanna have a beer or two before I go home. It's not a big deal. You live your life, I'll live mine." "The devils work, is what alcohol is," she stated. "A drop of liquor will never tough my lips!" "Well, sister, if you don't mind my asking, how do you know alcohol is so evil if you've never even tried it?" I asked. "Evil, I tell you. Evil." "Tell you what, sister. Let me buy you a drink, and if you still think it's evil, well, then we'll talk again." "I could NEVER," she said. "And I certainly can't go into a bar." "OK, I'll have the barkeep send it out here, and I'll tell him to put it in a teacup, so nobody will know you're drinking." "Well," she said. "I suppose it would be best if I knew exactly what I was talking about. OK." To be honest, I was just happy to get away from her. I hustled inside, and asked the barkeep to send a teacup of whisky out to the sidewalk. He laughed, and yelled to the bar owner back in his office. "Sister Kate is here again."

    I'm thinking the Minnetonka Police department will be there in minutes and someone will find themselves in the hoosegow.
  21. USAFChief
    I was thinking a six pack.
  22. USAFChief
    Try a long, soaking bath. A nice chianti, all to yourself.
  23. USAFChief
    Given that it's ********** Yankees, we might need one.
  24. USAFChief
    nah. Routine. Three up, three down. Perez is getting all ground balls.
  25. USAFChief
    In all seriousness, nice turn by Schoop.
