    Well, that regression to the mean for these AAAA relievers hit like a freight train today.
  2. Darius
    That's the most excited I've ever seen Joe. Good for that guy.
  3. Darius
    Question answered on FSN
  4. Darius
    Honest question....is that Joe's first career walk off HR?
  5. Darius
    Mauer flower-pot-shot coming up.
  6. Darius
    Nobody hit one in the air farther than 50 ft and everyone turning on Kintler like he just imploded.....tough crowd.
  7. Darius
    Looked like the trainer left his briefcase full of various PEDs open on the bench in that cut to the dugout.
  8. Darius
    These last two games embody the Twins' problems pretty well, I'd say.
  9. Darius
    Kintzler giving me some heartburn.

    That's where it's nice to have Joe in the lineup, as much as hell as he takes. Not sure if there's anyone else on this team I'd rather have up with a runner on third and less than two out, when you absolutely need the run. When he needs to put the ball in play, he does it.

    Phil reaches back and hits 89 to get out of the inning. Seriously though, I've been waiting for Phil to implode, and it's just not happening. Maybe I'm not giving the guy enough credit.
  12. Darius
    Considering the only actual strike thrown, he plastered off the limstone wall at about 110 mph, 20 ft from a 2 run homer, I'm not going as far as calling it an awful AB. But, I get your point, it could've been better.
  13. Darius
    Also, grammar.
  14. Darius
    1st strike called was down and/or away. Didn't go on the third strike check swing.
  15. Darius
    I can't emphasize enough how stupid it is that pitchers don't have to throw intentional walks anymore. Ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous though, is Grossman hitting behind Sano.
  16. Darius
    Two awful strike calls in one AB for Dozier. That'll likely cost the Twins a run, here.
  17. Darius
    If the Twins would've hit a Boston base runner like that, they'd throw at the Twins star player 4 times over the next two games.
  18. Darius
    Sano keeps racking up extra base hits. I have the feeling that the Twins will need a few more to win tonight.
  19. Darius
    Of course the guy isn't what he used to be, and was probably robbed of a few good years by concussions, but he still has plenty of value. He's become an excellent defender at 1B. Probably Gold Glove caliber. He's not going to win any Silver Slugger awards, but he's still doing some things well at the plate. There seems to be some outrage with him batting behind Sano, but I think it's a solid strategy in terms of helping Sano get some pitches to hit. Mauer is still respected enough by opponents, and still handles the bat at a level that deters pitchers from simply walking Sano every time. If you take a guy who you know is highly susceptible to strike outs (much more so than Mauer, which is basically everyone in the team), and I think it's a little easier to justify putting Sano on first base.

    Absolutely shocked to hear Jones got berated with racial slurs in Boston. In other news, there are millions of Canadians living in Canada.
  21. Darius
    Ok, now Joe hit one. Something's up.
  22. Darius
    What I love about Buxton: He rockets one into the upper deck. He rounds the bases quickly, gets back to the dugout, and immediately apologizes to Rosario for swinging through the hit and run call on the previous pitch.
  23. Darius
    Is there a point you're trying to make? Are you insinuating Miguel Sano wouldn't be getting more coverage right now if he played for one of those two? Look at judge on the front page of ESPN.com every night
  24. Darius
    Don't want to jynx anything....but it's pretty nice having one pitcher in the rotation that makes a 3 run lead feel somewhat comfortable.
  25. Darius
    If Miguel Sano played for the Yankees or Redsox, they'd have handed him the AL MVP trophy already. Because he plays for the Twins, I'm guessing most fans and media members in those markets wouldn't be able to pick him out of two person lineup standing next to Jim Leyritz (to steal a line from Paul Allen).
