    The only redeeming news is that you can get pretty good mustard at the dollar store.

    I'm pretty sure Tony told Sano not to worry about getting oppo base hits. Instead, hit the ball out of the park wherever they pitch you.

    Actually, TD should have a "Release the Krakon" button. A little CGI, a nice sound, and you're there!

    Byung Ho Park appears to like the way Josh Tomlin throws baseballs.

    Nolasco has a pretty good curve, but he doesn't vary the speed, rpm, slant or placement the way Duffey does. If you guess right and he doesn't bury it low, a decent hitter can hit it like a 5 iron.

    "Let us pause mid-stream, and make our stand here!" - Lt. Douglas "Sitting Duck" McKenzie, First Tennessee, killed in the battle of Turkey Shoot Creek, 1862. Whether fording a river or choosing a snack from a vending machine, it is best not to stop in the middle. The Twins cannot stop half way across this river. It is time to plunk down some money, push those buttons, and hope the results are nutritious.

    Brian, you have a gift for bringing the goofy and fabulous. Keep it coming, brother!

    Sano is extra large man. Hit ball many far for distance.

    What has impressed me as much as Park's hitting is his overall maturity as a ballplayer. Park is a complete professional in all aspects of the game, including fielding and base running. He has an excellent glove at first base, a good arm, and always understands the game situation. In fact, he reminds me a lot of Adrian Gonzalez of the Dodgers, but even more of a power hitter. As a hitter Park uses all areas of the field, and can punish a pitcher's mistakes with tape-measure homers in all directions. On top of all that, Park is a selfless player willing to forego his own stats to help his team win. With a runner in scoring position in a close game, he is perfectly willing to rap a single rather than looking for a less probable home run pitch. Is Byung Ho Park becoming the unspoken leader of this team? He certainly is leading by example.

    Is Stephen Gonsalves on a plane to Chattanooga yet? How about now? How about now?

    We've all seen this before. Weather system looks like it's going to pass right over the metro area, then it mysteriously does a 484/694 bypass. It's the Force, man... ;-)

    Best reason to call Alex Meyer back up. If it comes to plunking batters, Meyer has plausible deniability. He uncorks a wild pitch often enough to claim it was an accident, and usually it is.

    I haven't seen a bullpen with so little mojo in a long time. With half these guys, you're waiting for the next hitter to bust one over the fence, after the pitcher walks somebody. Fien and Jepsen look like they're battling dead arm syndrome. Tonkin is a guy with just enough velocity to dominate AAA, but not quite enough to just blow it by people in the majors. If he can't hit spots, he will not survive. O'Rourke is simply erratic with his control. Milone doesn't look anything like a relief pitcher, and I don't think he can turn it on quick enough to pitch out of situations when he comes in. Graham looked as bad as the rest of them, but it's his first appearance, so he slides this time. Thank goodness for Abad, May and Pressley. Three guys that can miss bats.

    More knuckle chewing. Come on Jepsen... YES.

    Free idea for your War of the Worlds... The aliens look just like really nice washing machines, invading laundromats all over the world. At first it was just a stray sock, some underwear... Then dogs and cats, then people... Problem is, they do such a nice job getting stains out, you just hate to tell them they can't stay here on Earth... "But Garth, that thing ate my grandmother!" "I know Lydia, but have you seen my bluejeans? It actually got the grass stains out. They haven't looked this good in years!"
  16. jimbo92107
    It's always knuckle chewing time with Fien in there, but he got it done. Whew!

    Suzuki's taking a handful of pain killers. Get ready for a AAA call-up....

    Rosario's got to quit being such an easy out.
  20. jimbo92107
    Gotta tell you, Park looks every bit the hitter that Sano does. He can crush home runs and he can get oppo hits when the situation calls for it.
  21. jimbo92107
    Berrios 1,2,3 on ten pitches. Nice. Last guy throws his bat down in frustration. Even nicer!
  22. jimbo92107
    Good job by Berrios holding Houston to one run.

    And let him use Joe Mauer's goggles.
  24. jimbo92107
    Best Twins news of the season is Joe Mauer's comeback. Clearly he has regained his mastery of the strike zone, seeing the ball early and making tiny adjustments as the ball comes out of the pitcher's hand. Last year he was hesitating before he made the adjustments, with consequent failures. I'm in the combo camp; to me it looks like Mauer's recent success is part physical recovery, part going back to his original approach, and possibly part super goggles. Joe Mauer seems to have an excellent eye for figuring out the right way to do things. He has regressed back to his norm, which is a lot better than it sounds.

    Meyer was throwing his fastball same speed, no movement. Maybe Meyer is a candidate for a Walter Johnson conversion... Stride halfway between home and 3rd, pivot and sling the ball straight sidearm. With Meyer's long limbs, the ball would be coming from such a scary angle... Personally I think it's easier to control the height of a sidearm throw. You just slide your arm along a table top, roll your forearm. Like skipping stones for distance.
