    Pelfrey's problem has been command of his fork ball, which he lost after the first half. Before this season Pelfrey was basically a two-pitch guy that struggled after the second time through the order. His fastball is his bread and butter, bending left and right low in the zone. Unfortunately, after seeing it a couple times, hitters barrel it up and start driving it. Pelf's benders are at best average, and he doesn't throw them well enough to strike out a lot of guys. Enter the fork ball, Pelfrey's third and most difficult pitch to hit and throw. When he had command of the fork, Pelf could dangle it belt to ankle, getting lots of whiffs. Now without it, he's back to being a two-pitch guy. Frankly, that's bull pen stuff. This might be a very good time to give a starter tryout to Logan Darnell. Maybe he's better than we realized, like Tyler Duffey. Why not find out.

    Nice game. A little surprised that Tommy Milone held the Royals down. Good show.

    Dirtball from Jepsen. Filthy dirtball!

    Ferrari outfield. Speed and gunz.

    Hunter still isn't swinging the bat like before the All-Star game, but he's got about 75 percent of it back. I don't disagree with giving Buxton a day or two off, but Hunter still isn't back to even what he was earlier, which was a slow outfielder with a fading bat and a below average arm.

    Bremmer was right about their radar gun. Kansas City's is at least a couple mph optimistic.

    Looks a bit dubious on weather radar. That rain isn't going to stop for the top of the ninth inning.

    Whoa, May just threw a 98mph heater. Spicy meat-a-balla!

    Idle speculation at Twins Daily! For shame!! ;-)

    I would sentence him to five days of hard hot tub and massage. Ride the bench, gimpy! Unfortunately, the team doesn't do too well without Sano in the lineup.

    His weight transfer looked awkward, like he didn't want to drive hard off his rear leg. Is it the right hammy that's sore? Looked like it.
  12. jimbo92107
    I wonder if Sano's hammy has been messing up his swing.
  13. jimbo92107
    Great play by Rosie and Plouffe. I hope his arm isn't hurt too bad. Crashed into that wall pretty hard.

    Ever since he got his SS job back, Eduardo Escobar has been playing very happy baseball. Like a man who finally gets justice, he looks liberated and joyful with every play and every at-bat. I say leave this guy at short as long as he's wearing that big 'EE' t-shirt under his uniform.

    Luck won out over Dick's jinx! Blooper from Super Escobar!
  16. jimbo92107
    I'm not superstitious, but damn Dick, how hard do you have to jinx a guy... "You almost expect Escobar to get a hit..."
  17. jimbo92107
    Just got in. Waffles and chicken at the IHOP was kinda nasty. Labor Day treat!
  18. jimbo92107
    Didn't want to miss Sano's last at-bat. Otherwise I'm reading some internets.

    Good pitching by Colin McHugh. I hope Tyler Duffey was watching, he could be at least as good as that, with more experience.
  20. jimbo92107
    Achter has a good straight change up. He should throw it a lot more often. There was a closer here in San Diego named Trevor Hoffman who earned a living with a good straight change.

    I get the feeling that after this game we will be left grumbling that Mauer was safe, and not much else.
  22. jimbo92107
    I'm 56. Now the squirrels watch me, and eat my prunes when I'm not looking. In the distance I see vultures circling, or maybe that's just flies... I waved my hand and they're still there. Vultures.
  23. jimbo92107
    Does it seem like McHugh actually has stuff that good? I'm seeing a resemblance to Tyler Duffey's game. Good mix of curves with a well-placed but underwhelming heater.
  24. jimbo92107
    When was the last time anybody saw Torii Hunter even swing the bat hard, a month ago? Six weeks? He's swinging like he has no legs and his back is sore. Sit the old man down, put Buxton in there. At least Buxton might beat out a grounder.
  25. jimbo92107
    McHugh does have a big bender. I still think Tyler Duffey's is better, mostly because he uses it more and can do more things with it.
