Bah, humbug.

Get us out of this, Duff.

I think I'd trade any of our young studs for Lindor. He looks to be a generational talent.

 

Long time, no posts. Hope you've all been enjoying this run by the Twins. It's been fun.

I think I just ran out of things to say although I did lurk around a bit.

Hicks on 1st. No outs. Let's do some scoring here.

Nice to "see" you JB. You were missed.

 

Seeing Suzuki hit in to a double play, and the fact that the Twins started Chris Hermann last night in that lost double hitter game, is a painful reminder that the Twins had a chance to do something about the back up catcher spot, someone that could have done some filling in for Suzuk.

 

 

I think their problem was not addressing the STARTING catcher position not the backup catcher position :-)

Be nice to see Dozier get 30 dingers before the end of the season.

Lindor, Correa and Russell.  Could be the next ARod, Jeter, Nomar group in regards to overall talent.

How many times have the Twins gone through the order at least once before getting a single hit?

They certainly could be.  The only one the Twins could have taken was Russell as well, he went 11th the year Buxton went #2.  I want to see what people have to say about Buxton this time next year, I really do think he will be special player.

Atta boy, Joe! Double over his head in left. LOVE it. Good ball. 

Atta way Joe!

My comment was in no way a slight on Buxton or the Twins selection of him, for the record.

Mauer is an on base machine.

At least there was a walk  And that's a stat I'm not I want to know!

I figured as much, just stating they were top picks.  I would love to have any of them.....and Buxton

Agreed, I think people tend to forget how Buxton's injuries have set him back some. If his recent performance is any sign what he might be capable of on a regular basis, look out.

That worked well. How many times have the Twins gone four or more innings without scoring a run to start the game?

 

Mauer is an on base machine.

Is that streak still ongoing?

Bauer can't handle the Plouffe!

PLLOOUUFFEE!!!!

 

and the wind!!

How many times have they gone the first four innings and only scored a single run?

Double, double

 

Let's do it again.

Double, double

Let's do it again.

Or not.

Plouffe RIPS an RBI double to CF. 1-0 Twins!

Oh well. Keep reaching until someone says stop.

 

Is that streak still ongoing?

 

Nope.  It ended last week on that ugly game where Detroit came back and scored 5 runs late.

Hicks catches that.

If I were a Cleveland fan I'd have gotten sick of the drum about 30 years ago.

Not exactly a great route Torii. While I know the wind moved that ball, if Hunter went to the right spot, he could catch that ball.

 

Hicks catches that.

what happened?
