  1. This hears a grate addition of the GT.
  2. I mostly agree with this, but baseball is a situational game. For example, I hated Logan Morrison, pinch-hitting, squaring to bunt in the Top of the 7th after Castro's leadoff walk, Twins down 5-4. Why do I hate it? Among the reasons: * Assuming Morrison sacs successfully, you have only moved a runner from 1st to 2nd. Still takes a hit to the outfield to get the run in, and it's Castro. Not a given he scores from 2nd on a hit. * Castro only represented the tying run. Twins were visitors, and playing to tie on the road is a silly proposition. Twins were willing to give up one of their 9 remaining outs to merely tie the game. Twins were willing to compromise their chance to take the lead and a potential big inning to settle for one run that merely ties the game, while the Buccos had 3 more outs left than the Twins. Big-time dislike. * If the Twins were the home team in the late innings, and their opponent had a guy coming off a 38-dinger season square around to sac bunt with nobody out and a runner on first base, I'd say "Thank you very much for not letting that guy swing away..."
  3. For me, and it's not always easy to discern, but I do draw a distinction between a guy using a platform to sound off about something, and simply answering what he was asked.
  4. Adrianza's ball may have still been in the batter's box when he kicked it.
  5. Errrr, you're probably right. Actually, ain't no probably. But it was The Duke, ya know.
  6. Wonder if Buck gets to take that AB in an American League game?
  7. Hey- that wasn't just any jock, ya know.
  8. Rosey lucky Pirates didn't let that fly ball drop. He'd have been doubled up quite easily.
  9. Dozier can now feel free to rip a three-run dinger.
  10. Deserves to be out just on principle.
  11. WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH IS MORRISON SQUARING TO BUNT? MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT STOP!!!
  12. Atta boy, Hildy. Exactly what we needed there. Time to tie this thing up, then go from there.
  13. Lucky grab after the LF took a brutal route to the ball. Twins right back in this one with 9 outs to go. Big like.
  14. Third baseman looked like a Moran letting that foul pop fall. Gotta take advantage of the extra out.
  15. In Moather Russia, Neverauskus. We'll osk you.
  16. Esco is said to be one of the most joyous Twins to be around at the ballpark. And, as Brock noted, the Escobar Name Game videos are hi-larious. And, oh by the way, the guy can play a little bit. How can ya not love the guy?
  17. Saying Mauer is a great baserunner wasn't really meant as a joke.
  18. Turrible AB by Cheech Rosario
  19. Mauer is far from speedy, but he is an excellent baserunner.
  20. Dozier hitting leadoff has rankled me for quite some time.
