Sounds like a toughy...

An es-caped crusador?

Quite possibly better than the answer I had in mind, but not the answer I had in mind.

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

 

Going up against a very homer prone pitcher...Better get Sano out of the lineup.

 

Also going up against a very good contact hitting team...Better put our best defensive outfielder on the bench.

 

Careful, too much truth for a game thread.

Uhhh why is our best HR hitter out against a HR prone pitcher?

Why is Santana batting second?

Why is Buxton not playing?

 

Also, Arcia will hit a bomb. Calling it now, not sure what is going through Molitors head though, pretty ugly.

So as not to let you down...What would you call Batman skipping Church?

Adam Rest?

I meant regular starters who would ideally bat 9th.

Sorry.

 

Yeah i knew whatcha meant.

 

I was just being pedentic. Or something. For my own personal amusement. It does tend to get in the way of informed discussion from time to time...

 

I'll try to work on that.

I think the bats come alive tonight and the Twins win by six!

Adam Rest?

Also very good!

 

But i am gonna keep trying to figure out what Chief has in mind...

 

Guessing riddles is like crosswords clues without the number of letters and inherent crosschecking...

I should have caught that. I usually forget how much actual discussion happens in game threads.

In other words, the difference between highly structured and unstructured problems. :)

This Danny Santana obsession from Molitor is going to be the end of me. Why exactly do we think he's different or better than Gardenhire at this point?

I agree with the first two, but I get why Buxton's on the bench. He's leading the team in strikeouts. He needs to take a break on the bench.

If this comes true we will want to require a Batman joke from Chief before every game!

 

"Riddle me this, Batboy Wonder..."

Also has two doubles

What has santana done to be in the lineup over him?

Incorrect Ash. Also probably better'n mine, but still incorrect.

The nature of my submission should tell you that I cheated and looked up the answer first. :)

Yes.

 

Or perhaps a tight or closed structure vs. an loose or open one.

 

Humor often does have a structure, or it tends to fall flat...

 

Now i'm trying to come up with a pithy way to contrast dark knight and sunday as an answer...

 

not yet succeeding.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED to learn of cheating in this establishment.

Last night's out to Gordon is a HR in Target Field, right? I might be overestimating the wind and the different left fields though.

"Only be sure to call it research!"

 

(from a song that gives the secret of success in mathematics... that i quote tongue in cheek)

Maybe my patience is a fault, but there is literally nothing Sanó or Buxton could have done through FOUR games that would have made me say, "Yeah, they need to take a seat."

I'm shocked, SHOCKED to learn of cheating in this establishment.

Welcome to teh Internets, newb.

 

Incorrect Ash. Also probably better'n mine, but still incorrect.

We prolly need Spinowner. He "thinks" like me.

If that's true, then we're in big trouble. Are you my brother?

Is that a joke?

"A loyal friend is someone who will laugh at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathize with your problems when they're not so bad."

 

Chief's got a lot of loyal friends here, and rightly so. :)

 

The combined 4-27 with with 16 K's is also interesting.

Interesting is one way to put it.

Is that a joke?

Yes.

 

Also has two doubles

What has santana done to be in the lineup over him?

Buxton has 9 Ks in 3 games. The two doubles were nice, but not enough compared to all of those whiffs.

 

I also think it's more about Buxton getting a day off rather than Santana deserving it.

Royals:

 

1. Alcides Escobar ® SS
2. Mike Moustakas (L) 3B
3. Lorenzo Cain ® CF
4. Eric Hosmer (L) 1B
5. Kendrys Morales (S) DH
6. Alex Gordon (L) LF
7. Salvador Perez ® C
8. Omar Infante ® 2B
9. Paulo Orlando ® RF

Will be curious to see how Perez plays after taking that Davis heater off the wrist last night. Man, catchers are tough.
