April 26, 201610 yr Who will have more holds this year, the twins or the Vikings o-line You had me curious so I had to look it up. The most holds by an NFL offense last year was the Bears with 35, while the fewest holds by a pitching staff was 41 for the A's. It would take some effort, but with a little hard work and elbow grease I think it could be done.
April 26, 201610 yr Darn, now it won't go 16 innings. Okay, hurrah for Ozzie Arcia. He cranked a most palpable hit into the right field stands. Becoming a hitter?
April 26, 201610 yr Arcia out of tomorrow's lineup with flu like symptoms after being dumped with gatorade when it's 45 degrees outside
April 26, 201610 yr At least he cares whether we win or lose.Not to quote my own quote but.... Also do the Hunter-less Twins seem awkward in celebrating? They should be having more fun after a win like that considering this weekend. It seems pretty forced.
April 26, 201610 yr Not to quote my own quote but.... Also do the Hunter-less Twins seem awkward in celebrating? They should be having more fun after a win like that considering this weekend. It seems pretty forced.Yep. The Twins need to back off manufacturing chemistry with clubhouse guys (Bartlett, Hunter) and just let these guy play ball and figure it out!
April 26, 201610 yr I'm gonna wait for you to clean this up before I give it a like. I think I like it but you might be saying something completely different.Most are like, here's a bunch of random middle school doodles. Look good? ...no. However, I saw a smiley face on a TJ scar, that is something ironic anyway.
April 26, 201610 yr Author This is how Molly rolls-- call up a guy, especially a prospect that the sufferin' fans have been waiting for, and let 'em sit. Did that last year, doing it again this year. He totally jerked around Gulfa Tonkin in DC by not letting him start the clean inning with the lead- showing him he's not trusted-- Starting the inning with a guy who's gassed already, then bring him in for the Murphy gack-up, and boom! I'm thinking that whole inning doesn't happen, and we escape with the win, otherwise.No surprise Meyer's been sitting the whole time tonight either. Kepler sat this year, Vargas sat last year, and when they finally get smart and get Berrios up, I'd be completely surprised to see him start within the first month he's here. You don't inspire confidence in your young guys if you blatantly show you don't trust them from the get-go. Why the cripe they didn't hire Dougie Baseball, I don't know. Any chance Ryan and Molitor are having a Brad Pitt/Phillip Seymour Hoffman moment. I'm not trying to plant any seeds... I really have no idea. But... When things are not going well... things can get contentious. I'm just trying to make sense of everything that has happened in the past few hours and some things are not adding up.
April 26, 201610 yr I would like to see Sano pitch and strike out the side.2nd year after Tommy John!
April 26, 201610 yr Ozzie on his way back to being my favorite Twin. Quirky like Gomez, but misunderstood. Often criticized for, imo, struggles caused by trying too hard. Taking losses too hard, blaming himself for the team's losses. But I remember him energizing the whole team two years ago during the longest hottest part of summer (before he hurt his knee when Plouffe whiffed on a bunt and hung him out to dry). A lot of people thought he was a selfish player, but I saw him celebrate as much for getting an opposite field single as a big home run. He's trying to develop as a player, but he's young and emotional, and takes his failures very hard. His interview with Marney was all about adjusting to the moment, to the pitcher, shortening up and applying his practice to the game. Fun finish.
