  • Bad news: I have to suffer through a Boyer appearance. Good news: Just received a pretty kick ass job offer for a better gig.  

  • Good catch; that's obviously a mistake.    There's no way they loaded the bases 15 times since July 17.

  • He just did.    Three of them.   Of course every other pitcher is retiring a Twin left and right, so it's not really a big deal...

Hey, let's give away outs against a great pitcher, early in the game, when our pitcher is really struggling.....

 

Wait, the twins bunted in the top of the 3rd?  With a dude on 2nd and nobody out?

 

Kill me now

 

With a guy who just failed to get a bunt down... yesterday... I mean, Santana gets that bunt down, right DaveW?  Also, yeah, swing away guys.  Let's play with a little swagger and confidence.

Hunter with a HR.  That should piss a few posters off.

If it didn't, your post will have. :)

"If it worked in the 10th inning of game 7 of the 1991 world series its bound to work here!"

Seems like this umps zone is small

I could be very wrong, but by and large the whole Twins team seems pretty bad at bunting, I think our sacrifice success rate has to be below the league average at least.

If, but only if?

I was wondering that.....

 

Like, if john were me, he'd do that, or he'd do that if he was john?

 

it is john, right?

It ruins a joke to try to explain it, but: it was just some circular logic, that's all. You're a regular, it's a game thread, I figured WTH.

 

Nah. The only way the Twins stay in it is if Hunter starts hitting again.

from earlier this month: Hunter is worthless, time to put his old ass on waivers and call up arcia or buxton

Please don't bunt

Plouffe with the double.

 

Now, Sano... BUNT!

 

Ball seems to be carrying well, good at bat by Plouffe.

And that is why you don't bunt in the third inning of a 1-1 game....

Maybe, but if a pitcher is so good that your odds of a successful sac bunt are low, your options are limited indeed.

I figured that, but then I had doubts. you ever have doubts? sometimes I have doubts. Even in me....

I'll assume Sano just ignored the bunt sign

Sano is a hitter with a very mature approach. I am impressed.

 

I'll assume Sano just ignored the bunt sign

I kind of hope that Sano will always ignore the bunt sign.

 

great at bat by Sano

 

He seems to have a lot of those.

 

I kind of hope that Sano will always ignore the bunt sign.

I kind of hope Sano doesn't even know what a bunt is

Miguel Sano took 18 walks in his first 100 plate appearances.  Danny Santana has taken 24 walks in 693 career plate appearances.

Price is not on his game right now. The Twins need to take advantage of it.

Dick don't jynx us

He is taking some much better at bats as of late.

 

Holding it by the thin end is working wonders.    Brunanasky worth every penny yet again.
