Our announcers making it sound like Joe has won the player of the week a ton of times.

 

Research gentlemen, research.  Or, you know, just read an article about the one he won for last week.

But..... Did we win yet?

It's nice Park can hit a HR once in awhile, because he does little else well.

Dozier currently might be the worst hitter in the lineup - so I would not bat him third.   7th or 8th sounds about right.  

If Pat Dean hits Centeno's mitt, he'll have a good game.

can we switch #3 hitters with the As today?

on the bright side, our OF today can probably get to and catch some fly balls.

Hahahahaha, Buxton slips and falls, but still catches the fly ball! Hahahaha!

Pet peeve:annoys me  when announcers talk about pitchers pitching against opposing pitchers.  Dean didn't pitch against King Felix.  Felix pitched against our lineup and Dean pitched against the Mariners lineup.

On a good note, Pat Dean is indeed still hitting Centeno's glove. That may not stop super-hot Danny Valencia, but most hitters don't do very well against a pitcher that hits his spots. 

OK, maybe it's just me, but perhaps we should quit throwing balls down the middle to Valencia and, I don't know, throw inside?  Make him move a little?  Just a theory.

Sounds like a certain LF/DH they have.

well assuming the catcher is calling the right pitches, yeah.  It helps pitchers get strikes called when they can do it consistently.

the one who spends most of the time on the bench?

Yeah, that one.

Right there, that's why I wanted Centeno batting behind Buxton. You get Buck on base, Centeno can drive him in with a long single.

according the Dick, Buxton was the obvious choice to be called up when Danny Santana got hurt.

Ok, Buxton.  Time to nut up

Buxton has to not strike out and actually get on base for that strategy to work.:-)

Good morning, good afternoon...ugh you know the rest

Your plan has an obvious flaw.

Buxton still doesn't look comfortable at the plate. Pitchers are toying with him.

Right now, the Twins lineup has more holes than a Swiss cheese attacked by a horde of hungry mice.

Butler is hilarious to watch when he's running the bases.  Before he even got to 1B, he looked like a piano was put on his back.

"Pacific Rim free agents for $200"

 

"If you didn't play for the Minnesota Twins in 2011 or 2012,  then you contributed more win shares to the Twins in those years than this Japanese middle infielder who compiled an astonishingly low -2.0  WAR in just 254 plate appearances before vanishing from Major League Baseball forever."

Cool, Dean just made a batter move his feet.

Dick is saying Hughes was moved to the bullpen because of Pat Dean.  Holy balls.

What do you call a large, mean dog that meditates?
