Buck just about ran right past the damn thing.

In the middle ten strides of his route to the ball, he went from 'Oh, crap.  Hope he doesn't hurt himself diving for this one on Tampa's pool table outfield" to "How did he just make that look easy?"

[JB_Iowa]

I finally understand why Terry Ryan was so hesitant to sign semi-expensive starting pitching.

[LaBombo]

 

The Twins lead!

Is unsafe!

 

Unless May is available!

[twinsnorth49]

No way Santana gets past the 5th with that action.

[amjgt]

Would we get a mini Sano too?

ABW?

I finally understand why Terry Ryan was so hesitant to sign semi-expensive starting pitching.

It's kind of like they put all the scouts' heads together and came up with a rotation that would enable them to tell fans who wanted them to spend, 'We tried to tell you, but would you listen?  Nooooooo.'

Fortunately this Karns fella is in another area code, Twins need to cash in.

[Squirrel]

Oh come on now. Sigh!

[TwinsCD]

Cue the pics of the overloaded buffet dish to illustrate Rosario's plate discipline.

[twinsnorth49]

Yeesh, that's just piss poor, this guy can't find the strike zone with a map and Eddie makes it easy on him.

I did that yesterday. I thought I was being clever. Had it been done before??

[David HK]

Just tuned in for a moment before work--  What's with this Rays' jagoff announcer?  "Michael Sano....  Teddy Rosario...."  reminds me of the days when Bobby Clemente played.  

 

 

[David HK]

Boy, did we ever need that blooper.  Thanks, Toriii.

[JB_Iowa]

That WP really helped..... and the old man came through.

[twinsnorth49]

Torii says bat me 7th? Well I'll bloop you Mollie!

[twinsnorth49]

I like 5 much more than 3.

[Vanimal46]

Would we get a mini Sano too?

What would a mini Sano look like? 4 foot 175 lbs of rock solid man?

[twinsnorth49]

 

magic eight ball predicts it is going to take more than 5 the way Santana is serving up meatballs with a side of sauce.

I first saw it on Sunday's thread and thought it was brilliant.

Well I like 5 a lot more than 3 then.

Mini Sano........................................yeah, I went there, deal with it.

Hunter bails out Rosario by being patient at the plate. I like Rosario but the kid has to learn the strikezone a little better. He is chasing a lot of bad pitches. 

11 walks in 338 plate appearances will not get it done.

 

His combined OBP in AA and AAA is .303.

 

I suspect he'll be sent down to AAA next year for seasoning.

[zchrz]

Needs some more stanizol on that fastball.

[Vanimal46]

If only Whine Line regular Bark was here to photoshop Miguel's face on that body... We deserve a realistic picture!

[twinsnorth49]

If Jaso was Spanish his name would be Yaso.

 

 

Ya so you're saying?.....................you're welcome.

[Hrbowski]

It seems interesting that a lot of players are using batting stances like they do in Japan. I have noticed Greg Bird and John Jaso have both used them on this road trip.

Hopefully Bark hear's the call, that's damn funny.

[JB_Iowa]

Would mini Sano resemble the 180 pound Chinese little leaguer?

[TwinsCD]

I like how I'm watching a guy at the plate and the bottom line scroll underneath says he's been suspended 1 game for making contact with an umpire over the weekend.  Great discipline structure, MLB.

 

Edit:  And now he's killed us for 3 RBI.  GET SANTANA OUT!!!

If you say so.
