    And we played a 16 inning game. It evens out. More innings from the starters isn't realistic, not is it the primary problem.

    That 10th inning was an embarrassment to the entire organization. Decent legion ball teams know how to defend 1st and third. Jr high teams. Kendrys Morales wandered off first base, and the Twins were too frightened, or confused to throw the ball. For Pete sake. That is not major league baseball.

    We make up for it by being easy to swindle in trades. "Hicks for Murphy?? And we don't have to throw in a prospect??? Quick, where do we sign??"

    Every single person in the Twins organization should be embarrassed by the 10th inning tonight. That was not a major league team. That was what a good American Legion team does to a poor American Legion team. Run at will, laugh as the runner on first ambles toward second, daring the catcher to try to throw him out, knowing the other team won't be able to execute two successful infield throws in a row so the runner from third will score if they try to throw you out, a free base if they don't. And they won't throw, because THEY know they can't trust themselves to throw home to second to home without a bad throw. Scoring on a ball hit DIRECTLY at the SS who was playing IN in hopes of EXACTLY THAT THING HAPPENING. Jogging in to score on consecutive pitches to the backstop. That wasn't major league baseball.

    I'm reasonably confident Guardado wouldn't have fared worse.

    The 10th inning was just about as ugly as major league baseball gets. And there's no position player help in sight. Buxton and Sano go on the DL--TWO players--and we're watching LaMarre, Grossman, and Petit. There's an old saying in the Air Force: PPPPP. Prior Planning Prevents P*** Poor Performance. I don't think having 15 position players on the 40 man to start the season was particularly profound prior planning by the front office.
  7. USAFChief
    I don't think there were other options.
  8. USAFChief
    You're being taxed for the 10th inning at Target Field??
  9. USAFChief
    That's a Chief's age crack, idnit?

    She runs hotter without the restrictor plate.

    It wasn't a double steal. Pillar went to third on the first pitch as both Curtiss and Garver forgot he was out there. Then Kendrys Morales jogged from first to second on the next pitch, attempting to lure the Twins into throwing to second. That's a play we used to use successfully in legion ball against lessor teams.
  13. USAFChief
    Yup. Both of em.
  14. USAFChief
    So we let the fleet footed Kendrys Morales walk to 2nd base because we don't trust our C/IF enough to throw him out.
  15. USAFChief
    In ONE game??
  16. USAFChief
    Dick says we gotta leave first base open for Kendrys Morales. Morales entered tonight with a .499 OPS.
  17. USAFChief
    Garver has lost at least a half dozen strikes tonight.
  18. USAFChief
    ANyone else hear the ump on that foul tip? "oooooooohhhhh"
  19. USAFChief
    Oh, I don't know. Toronto's BP is no slouch either.
  20. USAFChief
    Making a call...LoMo's got this. edit: **** I thought that was out.
  21. USAFChief
    You're including us game threaders, I see.
  22. USAFChief
    yeah...don't get back to us on that.
  23. USAFChief
    WINNAH!! //I know, I know. **** it, I'm using it. FRE didn't get walked off.
  24. USAFChief
    I just want to say LaBombo's post last night about "Ehire" online job search engine not being a good place for the Twins to look for help was the post of the year to date. Top it, people.
  25. USAFChief
    and doing a bang up job, at that.
