Not to split hairs or anything, but every hitter on the Twins roster is, by definition, a professional hitter. Just kidding, I ABSOLUTELY meant to split hairs.
Update--according to a quick google switch, not only does Robbie not currently have a girlfriend/fiance/wife, there is no record of a past relationship. I therefore declare my intention to change Robbie's name from SpongeRob GrossPants to Lone Wolf Grossman, or LWG for short.
So am I correct in believing that LaMarre cannot play in the field unless we want to surrender the DH spot? If so, pinch running for a DH when you're not confident in your center fielder's offense is an issue.
Not necessarily. Butterfly Effect. Absent the passed ball, we have no way of knowing what would have then happened. It's entirely possible there's an alternate universe where Castro did block the third strike, but Duke then gave up 17 consecutive homers, mooned the crowd, and spontaneously combusted.
Danny thinks it's unfair Duke is on the hook for the lass, since he had 4 k's in his one inning. That's a true fact Danny, as is the fact he had one triple allowed in the inning.
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe they are singing "O'Day, O'Day O'Day O'Day". It's marginally clever, and much more clever than singing "O...O, O, O, O, O....O" to Seven Nation Army every time a run is scored.
Schoop's career high PA is 675. He has 2 K's in 3 PA today. That tells me he would need 933 PA's to get to 622 K's this year. He's averaged 161 games played the last 2 years, which means he would need 5.8 PA's/game. Seems unlikely.
