Boyer's an assasin.

Indeed. A 1-2-3 inning.

 

I guess I'm searching for a reason why you would start Hughes, when the best you can hope for is 3-4 innings, virtually assuring mulitple innings from the soft underbelly of the pen.

 

I know you have extra relievers out there, but none I really wanna see.

 

Find a way to get Hughes close to ready before you throw him into an important late season game.  He didn't look anything close to ready anyway...topped out at 90-91 from what I saw.

Concur, I've been scratching my head about it all night. Game 2 of a stretch of 7 in a row, including 4 very pivotal games with the Angels and we need a deliberate short start to expose the pen?

 

 I know there's extra arms but what am I missing?

 

 

I'd gladly ftfy but as a moderator I have to uphold a certain standard

 

I saw the anagram right away.

in play, run(s) please.

Here we go...time for Twins Baseball!

Geez, that is not a double for most people, let alone a stand up double.

in play, run(s) please.

Patience...

 

Buxton on second after a dribbler gets by 3rd base.

 

Indeed. A 1-2-3 inning.

See?  He can start an inning....

 

Once in a while....

Here we go...time for Twins Baseball!

Good call.

Hey---  rally, maybe---

 

OK, Dozey, I know a 3-run dinger would be awesome, but please, please, don't be TRYING so hard to hit one.

Standing up.............wow.

 

I get the sense Buck is starting to figure things out, he's putting the ball in play far more.

Dozier has got to snap out of this eventually. He did the same thing in the 2nd half last year. 

 

He may need a day off or two. 

Geez, what the heck, Simon.

 

I lived in Chi in the 90's, right next to Wrigley.  Used to see Steve Trachsel pitch 3 1/2 hour games like that.  That's horrible baseball.  

 

I guess it worked in Dozy's case.  He must have fallen asleep between pitches.

 

I'm more excited about this game than I was before

He's pressing way too hard out there by the look of it.

Beer is good that way.

Yep.  Fork time for Dozier, just like last year. 

 

His post-All Star splits must be horrible.

Something positive please!

Here is our ballgame.

 

Think he's jacked?

The kid is content

to connect

on a single.

See Dozey?  That's what you do with Loons on the pond.

 

Ya don't have to hit a 6-run homer every time.

 

Good job once again by that strong young man!

 

Now, come on, Poof!

Double Play PLOUFFE

Well done.

Oh.  Surprise there.

 

Double Play PLOUFFE

They killed Kenny! The bastards!

izzat the record yet?

Double Play PLOUFFE

Only 1 more to tie Killer, if i recall what previous announcers have said?

 

Then he'll be able to focus on other things...

God damn Plouffe had to be better than that.

Was I really defending Plouffe on the "trade Plouffe" thread?  Rethinking.
