One screaming line drive after another. Is there a more eloquent way to say, "He's got nuthin'?"

I will read the rest of this thread tomorrow am, will listen to the Twins win in bed....been a long day for me.

Bring home the win posters, been real fun here tonight

Nice grab by Nunez, I don't think Escobar makes that play.

 

My sister is a Red Sox fan and she has commented many times at how long those games are when the Red Sox and Yankees play.

 

You still talk to her?

 

Obviously she isn't invited to Thanksgiving anymore.

For me, watching any game between those two teams would feel like an eternity.

Does she wear her red sox with sandals? Is she German?

I think I'd rather see O'Rourke here, Mollie.

Well now you're not the 1 million IQ manager now, are you?

 

Twins have 15 hits and it is only the bottom of 6!!!!

I may have to listen to the end in bed,as Ihave an early start tomorrow.

 

I know... I was up at 5AM this morning to drive my Boys to the Kalamazoo Airport. That's like Midnight to Chief. 

 

And to think... I was actually happy that it was an Eastern Time Zone Start so I get to bed early and catch up on those ZZZZ's i've been owed. 

 

For me, watching any game between those two teams would feel like an eternity.

And here I thought you were going to say 'My sister says the same thing!'

 

**** Duensing and **** Molitor for bringing him in in that situation. Jesus ****ing God damn mother ****ing Christ.

 

Your horses are running loose. May want to grip them a little tighter. 

 

And here I thought you were going to say 'My sister says the same thing!'

Well, now that you mention it I think she does!

This bullpen management by both teams is....perplexing.

Your horses are running loose. May want to grip them a little tighter.

Ha! But seriously, at what point do we learn that Duensing is not an asset in a bullpen anymore?

 

A veteran like Beltran vs Duensing? Give me Beltran 6 out of 10 times to mash it

This team's starting pitching is like watching deer cross the interstate at night.

Not sure how much this has been discussed on here lately, but Nunez has really impressed me with his defense this year, especially going to his right and getting rid of the ball. The stats back this up. He also is hitting RHP's well. Makes a good platoon split with Escobar, as he has hit LHP's well, but not RHP's.

Betances vs Hicks--huge at bat

Molitor sends a crappy base stealer running and he gets tossed out? What is this buzzaro world???!?!?

 

Bring. back. Gardy.

  It's like listening to Summer Breeze, on repeat.

Molly doesn't think so

I think McCann has thown out more runners tonight than Suzuki has thrown out all year.

 

I'm only half kidding.

Stealing...on a 2-0 count to one of your hottest hitters...after being caught the two previous attempts.

This team blows.

I was a HUGE Molitor advocate.

 

But I'm almost done.

 

Bring. back. Gardy.

 

You say this into a mirror three times and Gardy appears with Punto and Rick Anderson.

Maybe...maybe don't run on a catcher that has already thrown out 2 base runners with a pitcher that throws 98.

The worst "tradition" in sports is God bless America at every single Yankee game

I agree with you... I've been concerned about the bullpen for quite some time and I'm shocked that Terry Ryan didn't address it. 

 

If I was Molitor I wouldn't be comfortable with any option at this point. But in the end...It's baseball. 

 

Sometimes 7 to 5 leads in the 6th don't hold. 

I think McCann has thown out more runners tonight than Suzuki has thrown out all year.

 

I'm only half kidding.

it defies logic

Sometimes I think Molitor is a complete idiot.  I just have to say that.  He loves the aggressiveness.  Argh.

I am watching the NY feed and the news is that Mitchell has a minor nose fracture and was discharged from the hospital.  They will watch him for concussion symptoms.

 

In game thread related news, my back yard is infested with hummingbirds and they hum bad music from the 1970s.

Give me Punto over whoever the 13th pitcher is on this roster!
