Plouffe is playing a ton of 1B lately. 

Better late than never!   Sometimes the Twins don't show up until top 2 either.  

 

I was about to say so far so good for Milone.  As I started typing, Frazier went yard again.

Showcasing his versatility?

Thanks Willy, we'll still blame Mike for a loss not you!

OK but I want full credit for a win, k?

I don't think that's how that works.  

Just from a SSS Anderson could play for me, Mendoza line or not.

PERFECT GAME ALERT CARLOS RODON!

They suffered through Park this long, would they really send him down before Park day? I hope Plouffe is being showcased for scouts.

Rosario would made that throw.

Disappointing!

Gee whiz, we are one bad club.

Rosario would made that throw.

I think he did last night in Rochester!

If they had used scoring like this when I played softball, I wouldn't have had an error in my entire career. Jeez

On Milone:  Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me 5 times, shame on me.

 

I really hope May gets stretched out.

We're all going to feel so much better when Milone is off of this team. Somebody else please take this AAAA player off of our hands.

Not likely, just think of all the tickets they'd need to refund if he was sent down before his big day? Could cost the team hundreds of dollars!

Cany ou be more descriptive for those of us not watching....thanks,

GROSSSSS!!!!!

Grossman opo!

 

You jinxed him Willi!

So has Suzuki finally realized the futility of throwing to second?

Dozier's HR was on the right side of Center Field.

The ball was hit into the outfield, and an outfielder threw the ball to another player who was standing on/near a base.

 

Just an assumption though, I too am not able to watch.

What does Dozier's tear do more for?  His trade value or the likelihood that TR holds onto him?

You're welcome, TT
