  • So we've waited through four long years for the Twins to be playing meaningful September games.     All this waiting...Reminds me of my HS prom.   I wanted to rent a tux, so I went to the tux rental p

  • I'm ok with the swinging bunt call, but I think he should have had Escobar hit the ball another 355 feet, so, bad call.

  • It's been a long time since I was happy about the Twins in September.    Great thread.  Thanks all!

 

Which is why he didn't.

My apologies, I'm not watching the game and it sounded like Dave was saying Esco was bunting.

 

I'm glad to hear that he wasn't.

Buxton's ABs have actually been a lot better lately, even though he hasn't been getting the best results. He had a couple triples robbed in Houston. He's definitely been more disciplined at the plate than he was, but still pretty raw up there.

After he bunt, he definately should've flashed the "sac fly" sign to Zuk.

Why not the HR sign?

 

Does anybody have an opinion on Molitor having Escobar bunt?

 

I personally don't have a problem with Escobar bunting in that spot. 

 

However... I really don't like asking Escobar to bunt while taking a full swing. 

 

In my opinion... It makes the task much much harder.

I honestly thought he did bunt, my bad. I didn't see "the swing" but it certainly came off the bat like a bunt. My buddy thought it was a bunt as well.

 

My bad.

 

(Still don't like the Nunez bunt decision fwiw)

Fien was sharp. Good thing Neil Allen told him to k a couple of batters.

I'll take that, Fien      :jump:

Yeah he has been looking better, but stands no chance against elite guys like Herrera at this point. (Which is fine, it will eventually "click")

Dunno...he bunted into a force at third in Houston when squaring around, and swung away into a perfect sacrifice here.

No worries, Dave, just giving ya a hard time.

Anyone see the Nationals bunt with Rendon last night? Good lord.

It's ok DC, I don't think Dave is watching the game either.....

 

Battle of Lockdown bullpens.

:confused:

So much easier that way.

It's almost impossible to discipline a plate without breaking it. 

 

They don't respond to a firm talking to. 

 

Hey... That Post was kinda samplesize-ish.

Concur.

 

A disciplined plate is a work of genius...

 

And i'm touched

 

to be adjective-fied!

 

(I'll know i got it made if i'm a verb)

 

Thanks!

Ha, I am. I just didn't see the swing.

 

Has all the ingredients of a Snapper Wheels Come Off Inning.

Bring that man back home to our hemisphere!

Baseball was a much more wholesome sport before the Royals' bullpen.

Whatever happened to Aaron Crowe?

Shipped to Miami, had TJ, hasn't pitched since.

Man, you'd think Dave has issues with bunting ...

I mainly have issues with counting on Suzuki and Buxton at this stage of the season to drive in meaningful runs.

Just Shoot yourself in the head right now... but first give me my 20 bucks back and I'll put in my pocket... Wait... Oh here it is... in my pocket.
