Pet peeve, putting Jr. (or III) on jerseys. The pitcher's surname is Ross, not Ross Jr. Junior is part of his given name.

Why do the Twins seem to do so little cool stuff?? They didn't double steal. They didn't bunt to advance the runners. All the stuff they don't do adds up to a lot of nothing!

Two 3-run homers in one game would have been cool too.

Personally, if Nunez had bunted, with one out, I'd have reached through the internet and strangled him.

Whoa, Molitor... Don't yank Rogers now. He was pitching fine! Leon is just super hot, but Rogers looked good otherwise. Over-managing.

But see, I had a plan! Nunez bunts down the third base line, Kepler breaks early for third base, but instead of sliding, he keeps running through the bag. Third baseman fields and fires to first. Kepler scores on a shockingly aggressive play. Fun times!

 

Oh, and I forgot about Buxton. He rounds third when Kepler is half way home. On the bad throw to home, Buxton scores, too! Yahoo!

Terry grew hair and a stache?

 

You're used to the public Terry Ryan.  In the office he wears a rug and fake 'stache, but word has it he looks more like Tim Conway's Mr. Tudball than he does like the late Jimmie Doohan.

Dickbert:  "This is kind of an unusual move in a one run game."

 

me:  It's called "pinch-hitting."

 

Not actually all that unusual.

I volunteer to feebly pretend to try to break it up... "Oh dear.   Stop Chief.  You're going to kill him, especially if you keep at it for another 15 seconds, and get that thumb right on top of the artery."

Not actually all that unusual.

Unfortunately the resulting defensive misplay is not actually all that unusual either.

So that's why we don't PH Arcia.

 

I get it now.

Arcia calling off Buxton is sort of like John Oates telling Darryl Hall "Pretty sure it's my turn to sing lead on this tour"

 

So that's why we don't PH Arcia.

 

I get it now.

In fairness to you Molitor should have had Mauer at 1B and Park at DH so Arcia wouldn't have had to play right field after entering the game

OF defense doesn't matter......

Keep this at three, where all we need is another 3 run shot from Zuke.

Dick: "Popped up to right". Yeah, a popup to the warning track.

Arcia finally gets a fly ball he can handle.

Could be post of the week material!

That's the thing, though, Mike.  Arcia dropping that ball had little or nothing to do with outfield defense.

 

It wasn't range...he got there.  It wasn't a throwing issue.  

 

The ball hit him in the glove, and fell out.  What are you going to do about that?  He could stand out there and shag balls till October and not have a simlar one drop.

Dozier has been particularly bad at second this year. A very disinterested look on defense!

 

Oh FFS!

 

Damn right!
