How come we need a fall guy?

 

It's still spring... technically.

Good things have happened when the Twins have worked the count.

Summer gonna look at it that way, summer not.

 

But what if you combined them, and the dinosaurs ate the Pirates? On a more serious note, would the Peonies be the world champions, or the growers?

If the dinosaurs ate the pirates and then a nuclear arsenal was used to destroy the world the movie was set in. That would be okay.

 

Hey cut me some slack. How often do you use the words Peony and Grower in a sentence? It was my first time - I should get a mulligan.

What's with the superman leap throw to first by Martinez?

If you don't watch out, Vargas will end up becoming your Halsey's Plouffe.

 

Not that I mind.

 

Buxton looked kinda like a rookie, in that at bat just now.

And again. 

Ouch!

All this talk about the Fall Guy is gonna make Lee Majors relevant again. Be careful about what you ask for.

Not a chance.  Vargas is a good guy. 

Doesn't look like buxton is quite ready just yet. Maybe it's just me.

Fine with me as long as he brings his friend there.

Maybe it's just the 10 PA's

F Word.

The magic is gone, Mr. Mauer.

Maybe it's just the 10 PA's

Could be. Just doesn't seem comfortable.

 

Mauer, again.

yeah, funding's tough to come by these days.

Done and done.(Double by Plouffe, K for Hunter, Single by Rosario (Plouffe to third), Rosario draws an errant throw, allowing him to advance to 3rd and Plouffe to score)And Nunez sac flies Rosario home!2-1 Twins w/ 2 outs in the 4th.

This is what has really been missing from the Twims offense! Opposition errors. It not easy scoring runs when you have to get all those pesky hard to come by hits!

Buxton needs to sit on a first pitch curveball a couple times.  

 

 

Maybe it's just the 10 PA's

I hope so. But the inability to recognize breaking pitches down was there in spring training on the back fields as well. Still climbing that learning curve.

Ah, Joe.  Man, this is sad to see.  Even the Cards announcers are saying how washed up he looks now.  That slider he fouled off, he used to kill.

How long before Mauer loses it and demolishes a door with a bat?  As frustrating as it is for fans, this has got to be killing him.  Time to let it all out Joe...

I'd be curious to know how many times in his first 8 seasons Mauer ever struck out after getting ahead 2-0 in the count. I'd bet no more than 10-15 times.

Past a diving Batista Mauer.

Bartender says "why the long face?"

So easy to kick a guy when he's down.

I'd be happy with a heartfelt "gosh DARN it!"  just once.

Hope bringing in Perkins here isn't the Wong move.

So easy to kick a guy when he's down.

yeah. i'm part guilty.

 

I really would've loved a walk there.
