Morales really got a hold of that one.

 

And it was fielded like it was hit. So he's on.

 

In the short term, that's good enough for me.

 

(If only we coulda done something with it...)

Morales really got a hold of that one.

 

In fairness, with wheels like those bearing down on him, the first baseman had only a split-minute to make the play.

Has there been news on Nolasco?

 

This just in: he's having a bad season.

 

/ OK, recapping from earlier posts, he's going for an MRI on his elbow, word is he's been trying to play through a problem with it

You know, we could have had this Zunino kid, if the Twins had had the courage to draft him. He was right there for the taking.

If the bases were loaded, and Iwakuma hit a batter, would the Twins still score a run?

Wonder who will replace Nolasco in the rotation.

Trick question, obviously. If the bases are loaded, Iwakuma is facing some different team.

Wonder who will replace Nolasco in the rotation.

 

Who is the oldest pitcher on the 40-man not on the 25-man? <checking....> Kris Johnson.

Lol, Escobar making sure he wasn't on the wrong end of Hammer Time there.

Just go ahead and walk Cano here, KC.

Like I said.

I'm guessing the Twins will do some thinking "out of the box" and select Deduno

Wtf is arcia doing a dance fielding that ball?

Good call.

  My guess is that Kris Johnson will be called up Friday to start in place of Nolasco
   
   
  

....passing my time by seeing how many times I can punch in Morneau on MLB.....

I am occasionally checking in on the game, have the Twins even come close to scoring?

No Dozier led off with a single. Inexplicably they didn't bunt him into scoring position. Not that it would have mattered.

Inexplicably? I'm not sure why we would be playing for one run in the 1st inning.

They've gotten somewhat under 270 feet from scoring, but had to retreat due to the subsequent situation.

The players in today's lineup since June 1 by OPS, (not in order). Anyone wanna guess who is who?

 

.353

.653

2.056

.657

.759

.794

.636

.537

.556

 

Whichever is which, with the exception of Arcia they are all lower now.

So, anybody except Johnson it seems.

Correia's trade value inches higher.

Inexplicably? I'm not sure why we would be playing for one run in the 1st inning.

 

With Correia on the mound for us? That's just Managing 101.

Bunt. I know it's Willingham, but PH if you have to.

Sounds like another reason to be playing for a multiple run inning to me

It is when Escobar's up and you haven't scored a run off this pitcher in 3456 innings.

~270 feet from scoring as i type!

 

And 3 outs to get there too...

So barring a disaster the rest of the way, KC will have as many quality starts on the season as Phil Hughes, and one ahead of Gibson (who both do have one less start at this point). Funny what a little patience will do if you let things play out instead of overreacting. Wish we'd score him a couple runs here though.

So barring a disaster the rest of the way

 

Yes, what could go wrong?
