Not a bad little snag by Byron Buxton. Almost doubled off the runner, too.

That was an odd strikeout. Why did Rasmus just stand there for a straight fastball right down the middle?

 

It's not Santana's hair; it's his pitch location that needs to change. Apparently Allen has been working with him to adjust in the bullpen sessions; we'll see.

 

You are probably right. 

 

However... I'm not the type to dismiss the possibility of hair or smelly feet. 

This guy is Juan Marichal minus the giant leg kick........................plus the beard.

Mike Fiers's delivery reminds me of a right handed Cole Hamels. Overhand, with a waist bend the reminds me of one of those drinking bird toys.

Note: I'm not hawking for Amazon. But I still think those ripstop nylon shopping bags are pretty neat.

 

I can never tell what mystical hexicle jinxicle things people actually believe.

Hey, anyone know where  that Bob Dylan mural is being done? I want to see it on my trip in September

 

So...

If we used one of those fancy shmancy beer can hats for the beverage of choice, and we used one of those bob dylan style harmonica holders for our food on a stick (and a bib if laundry is a concern), then what would we need hands for?

 

Reaching for your wallet

Buxton is getting pretty good at those shoestring catches. And he has a nice smile. I'd like to keep him around.

Ho Hum.....Buxton, too easy.

Buck reminds me of Gumby..................the Eddie Murphy version of course.

Hmmmm, so good outfielding does matter...........................who knew?

Buck with more good defense. I hope he gets up this inning.

Alright

 

Which Twin Breaks up Fiers No-No

ummm........i think with this strike zone this umpire is hoping for a Fiers no-hitter, so the ump can be part of history, it is a super big strike zone.

I imagine there won't be much traffic on the game thread, what with it being a nice Saturday evening and the Purple playing at the same time.

I don't know.http://www.onlinepianist.com/op-blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Old-Schmitt-Music-Building.png

But this (Schmitt Music in downtown Minneapolis = closed now?) is where he bought his first harmonica holder. He had been using a coat hanger and his girlfriend was embarrassed and sent him to Schmitt.

I dont know but I'm guessing it's near "Maggie's Farm" in a "Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat". 

Not much control for Pelfrey this inning.

Well the K zone has gone back to normal for Pelfrey, lets see when Fiers comes back out.

Pelf not happy with his pitch count being so low, currently working on fixing that.

 

Mostly done i think. I guess some people were like, "look, the Beatles!"

 

I dont know but I'm guessing it's near "Maggie's Farm" in a "Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat". 

But he don't want to work there no more.

Meanwhile, pelfrey slows the game to a crawl. OF of the future looks solid though.

Gattis isn't paid to slide
