  1. Saw that, we can still tie for first with a win. http://deephousepage.com/smilies/nod.gif
  2. Hammer may be better defensively than Arcia.
  3. Boy, Mahoney having a rough inning* running bases and defensively at 1B *not the same inning (technically) but back-to-back defense to offense.
  4. One of the best PAs I've seen in a couple years.
  5. Does Pelf normally fall off the mound like this (towards first base)? -- seems to be on his sinker and doesn't look mechanically sound.
  6. Credit Pelfry to get a DP ground ball to get out the inning, but that was one slooooow turn.... and now this.
  7. That's one down, now a win tonight and a KC loss. Rollin' rollin' rollin' http://deephousepage.com/smilies/eusa_dance.gif
  8. That is a good AB, don't care about "hitting" if he's walking.
  9. So, not going to score the lead-off triple now.
  10. Considering the past two seasons, you just have to love that at the end of the day today, the Twins have a decent chance of being at the top of the central division. (with two wins, and a KC loss to Detroit)
  11. It's really too early to tell if the two week space cadet approach is behind Hicks or not. Since then he is striking out less and walking more, and I definitely see a better approach this week -- laying off the breaking pitches in the dirt. Maybe that's because he getting better pitch recognition, or a better idea of how he's being pitched, or maybe he is just timid. Since he has swung at some first pitch fastballs (weakly for outs because they were borderline balls maybe) this past week, I think he's working on one or two things only and is not just scared up there: 1) pitch recognition of benders and laying off and 2) trying to find fastballs to hit early. I'll take the walks until the bat comes around, but am glad he's moved down in the order. Let's check back in with another 3 weeks before uttering the words "success" and "story."
  12. Keep these weekly recaps coming, love the references.
  13. Yeah, you nibble when in a 1-2 count to donkey, not another sure strike and not down the middle. Donkey happens though.
  14. That is the slowest, weirdest move to first I've ever seen. Steal a bag.
  15. Aaron Hicks, your MLB ready, Twins center fielder. In all seriousness, he is doing a much better job laying off the benders in the dirt.
  16. You've got to manufacture this run at least.
  17. I don't know why any pitcher would throw fastballs to our hitters. We've got a lot of guys who can't handle curves/breaking pitches.
  18. HEY - OH, Twins baseball!http://deephousepage.com/smilies/spank2.gif
  19. It was "runs" plural, but I'll take especially since it was tongue in cheek.
  20. OKAY! Hicks, Escobear, Carroll!! Sounds like runs!
