But, let's keep hitting Men-Dozier 2 or 3, and Plouffe 4, it's gotta work at SOME point! But, there's the thing- the one time out of 17 that it does work, Molly just goes, "See? I was right!"
Well, he Plouffed that one. At least Dozier beat the shift for a change. Now, is it too much to ask for a zero from Taylor Rogers? Come on, come on.....
I. SWEAR. TO. GOD. How can you be a major-leaguer, especially someone like Bux, with speed to burn, AND NOT KNOW HOW TO GET A BUNT DOWN. What is going on in those minor leagues, or spring training? Why in the heck are the skills just so bad all the way across the board???
Heh-- the surprise in Dick's voice when he actually got to say "swing and a miss." He sounded almost astounded. Imagine. A Twins pitcher getting a batter to swing, and not hit the ball hard someplace.
OH, my, did Kepler ever get the rookie strike 3 call there. I hate that- banjo hitter, power hitter, rook, that K zone should be the damn same for everybody.
Wow, good things happen when I step away. Maybe it's a hint.... Heh-- show of hands-- who wants to see a footrace between Park and Plouffe? Maybe we can dress them up in those Milwaukee sausage costumes.
Whew, gave that lead back just in time. Got to go Molitor another exam. I think I'll get a big wad of gum and just chew the living hell out of it while I'm in there, and chuckle to myself.
Say, I did notice that Phil didn't give the lead back right away in the 2nd. Progress? (Although I maybe shouldn't say that til he gets out of the 3rd...)
I'm going backwards through the comments, and I don't even want to look at the lineup. That is maybe reason #1 for a change in mangler. Uh, manager. And I'm not even going to get into reasons 1A, 1B, 1C, etc.....
