    Cut him some slack. This is his first baseball game in 874 days.

I'd just like to point out that there IS a difference between being a bad OF and playing OF badly.

 

AAA contract? Who is going to block Gonsalves until they can turn him into a bad pitcher?

 

I vote Scott Baker

Well whatever happens, the players better listen to Molli and refrain from negative outbursts. We don't need any of that emotion right now.

 

Does anyone else feel a rally, or is that just my indigestion?

Reversal of fortune perhaps?

RF defense doesn't matter.

 

So I'm told.

The part Bonnes accidentally left out: "when the pitchers on the roster are this bad."

We get it

I don't see chief here, so....

 

 

 

yes.

OK, but don't get any ideas about springing some knock knock jokes on us.

Why? We need to see what that Mastro kid has? He should be the choice.

 

He's never hit above AA, he didn't hit extremely well in spring training and he's not an overly versatile player.  They won't bring him up to play 4th OF and a bench bat, especially with the AAA season just getting underway.  At least IMO.

I vote Scott Baker

Too much velocity. Andrew Albers?

We get it

At least someone does.

At least Arcia looks good in right

Very athletic.

Did you take the brown acid? You weren't supposed to take the brown acid.

What is Scott Diamond up to?

A hit!! No strike out.

 

Trending, I smell a trend.

 

Either that, or my dog is having issues.

I'm more of a "a nun and two goats board a train in Cleveland" type of joke guy.

At least we have Ricky going tomorrow.

I do expect a win tomorrow because all signs point to that not happening.

I think this whole thing has been a setup to get Ricky Twins win #1

I love ad council commercials (switched to the twins audio feed). They're so creepy.

If Nolasco wins tomorrow I won't know if I should laugh or cry. Of course, if it's a 10 to 9 win, then, laughingly crying is probably in order.

What is Scott Diamond up to?

There it is.

 

He once had a couple successful weeks here years ago, he can't break 90, and he really knows how to regurgitate baseball cliches.

 

He's TRs Holy Grail. He actually might be chained in TR's basement in a gimp mask right now.

You're trolling, aren't you?

Even when they try to do the right thing (pinch hit Sanó) they screw it up (lifting Rosario for Arcia).

If the Twins can protect their deficit tonight, and eke out another loss tomorrow with Ricky "No No" Nolasco going against Edinson "117 ERA+" Volquez, they'll have 7 losses to start the season.

 

The Royals look to me like they have a pretty good shot to win 90+ games again.     So if they Twins want to even think about winning the division, they had better plan on losing no more than 70 games.

 

So in other words, the Twins have an excellent shot to bank almost 10 percent of the losses they can afford for the season in just one week.      One week, out of 26, roughly 10 percent of the losses for 92 wins.
