Bartlett and I could both have had that same AB as Escobar.

TK stayed with the listing ship in the 90's and turned the team over to Gardy only when improvement in performance was visible. That may be the plan for this transition, also.

Therefore, Molitor.

It wouldn't surprise me if he gets a free pass again this year with a farewell tour featuring Sano and Buxton in 2015. Wouldn't have a big problem with that if not for concern that there might be a temptation to retain him beyond next season if it goes crazy 2001 good.

Maybe Bartlett is injured from previous at bat.

 

By all accounts he is a good man. I don't wish an injury on him. It isn't his fault the Twins rostered him.

 

If he is injured and day to day, it will give an easier opening towards a roster decision. No reason to wait to see if the 25th man on the roster can recover in a few days.

This doesn't suck.

 

Also, need more rum.

I'm sitting on my couch being extra quiet so as to not wake my sleeping daughter.

Color me envious, Sir.

Dutch or French?

 

Do the America's Cup sailing, unreal fun!

I'm not one to talk up what I'm doing but crikey, I earned this one.

Everything Falls Apart...

Have a drink for Burton, and a couple for Perkins.

This is a really long game, but I didn't want to do my taxes anyway.

 

Interesting, I am doing them while I watch. The changes at the state level encouraged me to procrastinate.

That was planned, set up the DP, easy.

Made To Be Broken

Something happened. The Twins are no longer pitching but the score is the same.

 

Not joking. A little confused.

Good at-bats by Plooooofe and Koooobell.

Gallons of rubbing alcohol flow through the Strip?

Looking forward to your postings in the drunk thread.

I have been meeting with remodeling contractors and watching parts of the game with the TV on mute. Now catching up via the game thread. It sounds like Bartlett has not had a good game, but at least the Twins are winning and Perkins will have a save opportunity. BTW, nice game thread.

 

Plouffe should have slid there.

Plouffe barely touched the plate. Poor slide, but I'm happy to have the insurance run.

Wait, I thought this was the... Huh.

 

Well, at least that's a more easily remedied reason for people not thinking I'm funny than just not being funny...

Throw Francona out of the game my god thats three times now.

Review the review.

Or, tag up, then review.

Then review again.

Pretty much certain - well, at least 99.74% certain - that's the primary cause of my confusion.

Tito finally challenges what appears to be a totally proper call.

He was lucky not to break his ankle there.

There's your reason to bench "Flori", he's lousy at instructing players to slide. Seriously, this isn't the first time Plouffe didn't slide when he should have. I guess he got to the plate fractionally quicker than sliding.

Trying to stay positive, but Floriman at the plate early this year < Hicks at the plate early last year.

I would hope that someone talks to Plouffe about that and makes him watch the replay.

One more out!
