Yeah I've got nothing. I did just look up that the Spanish meaning of the name Hector is "Tenacious". I would certainly like to see that from a Twins pitcher.

It's Greek to me:

but there's no speed limit on the Autobahn.

No nancy-drivin' neither!

Zuki felt bad after the first foul onto his foot. Now a foul into his face mask. Dang, I'm glad I'm not a catcher.

There's a reason they're called the Tools of Ignorance.

 

None for me, thank you.

I just watched the Mauer baserunning screw-up through at-bat. He should be benched after that. I'd like to see him benched for the rest of the season & only used off the bench so that the youngsters can play.

Mauer has more hits in "a 4 game series against the Indians" than anyone since the 1930s (if I heard correctly). That's something he done good. Even hit a home run.

Not choosing to make use of the Tools doesn't cure the underlying problem, you realize.

When was the last time Suzuki threw out a runner? Even with a pitch out, he had no chance. Weakest arm of any starting catcher?

Will Byron Buxton ever be as good as Raji Davis?

He couldn't even throw out a runner at home from 15 feet away.

Revenge is a dish best served on a hot, muggy day apparently.

Who's better, Chargois or Tonkin?

Man, the 2015 version of Michael Tonkin showed up for this game. Bringing gas,then throwing it on the fire.

I am no longer sure the Twins are playing with them.....

Ohhhh, you done it now!

He threw out two runners in one game within the last month.  People on the game thread were concerned it might have been one of the signs of the apocalypse.

The Cleveland announcers are chortling a bit too much for me. I'm outta here.

I just switched to the Twins radio feed as an overlay to the video. Much better.

 

Ohhhh, you done it now!

And I was actually 1/3rd serious...

Internet addictions come in all manner and forms.

In certain parts there isn't.  But if you drive 40 on the autobahn during the parts of the autobahn that have no speed limit, chances are you will cause an accident.

Vargas regression is real and he's not happy about it one bit. Guy needs to relax probably overthinking it.

Actually, 2015 Tonkin never allowed more than 2 runs in any single game...

The peaks and valleys of this teams performance are staggering. About as inconsistent as they come.

Unfair comparison. She is much faster than Mauer on the basepaths.

we weren't going to continue to score in the double digits

I have always loved that one.....had she ever tried this before?

Unfair comparison. She is much faster than Mauer on the basepaths.

True, but she probably looks better in a tank top.
