why didn't May just lunge at him???

That was pretty hilarious. I didn't know a professional athlete could be that uncoordinated/unathletic.

That is right about where batters like 'em. 

we'll have to file this one away and forget about it.

May looks like he forgot his own recipe for pitching. 

Counting Crows

 

There's a reason we don't allow math in the game threads.

One should never combine calculus and alcohol. It's dangerous to drink and derive.

This is what happens when bachelors eat beans and wieners every day. 

Can't argue. Each of these guys don't really have anything to prove in the MiLB anymore. Boston was patient with Bradley Jr. and Bogaerts. Worked out pretty well.

 

Twins will need to be patient with Berrios, Sano, Buxton, Duffey....

Yeah, that's enough

Agree, these guys are still kids. Baseball doesn't jive too well with this instant-gratification focused society. Sano coming up and putting up video game numbers last year just makes it that much harder to watch him go through adjustment periods.

 

Sano is an interesting case right now, though. You have to wonder if he would be performing this poorly if he just DH'd all year. IMO, I don't think so. I think they really screwed with his confidence this year. He's at the point now where he is trying to force it.

 

As for Trevor May, that guy needs to get with a sports psych. Although, it's kind of fun to watch him get all worked up and unravel every other night.

Gladden describing again how other teams not named the Twins actually have fielding drills to help their infielders.

May looked seriously upset with himself as he walked off the mound. I hope he doesn't punch something with his pitching hand.

Raise your hand if you want May in te rotation.

Look who's coming in to pitch! It's rally time!

I just saw Kevin Jepsen about to pitch for the Rays. Didn't the Twins trade a good AA pitcher for him? Dr. Hu comes to mind...

A .269 BA and 115 k in 335 PA are rarely described as video game numbers

 

Heck, even Kepler has 15 HR in 249 PA. Sano had 18 last year

If I'm getting that come-hither look from the other side of the room, I'm finding a new bar

Dick says, "two down" as the FSN go-to-commercial music plays

Don't worry, someone will find Kepler's weakness. Probably about the time Sano figures out how to lay off those off breaking pitches.

He didn't look very good last night on low outside pitches. Has he already adjusted, though?

This is like the game when the varsity blues boys stayed out late the night before drinking.

 

And another airmailed throw from an outfielder.

Looks as if I picked a good game to miss.

 

Yay Sano in the ninth, though.

Defensive fundamentals seem to have gone the way of bunting fundamentals these days

Ninth inning error. Logan Forsythe haz a sad.

 

Forsythe is sad.

 

Strange for a guy who usually sees things coming.

 

Get it?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Off target throw leaves gold glover Kevin Kiermaier perplexed.

Gonna hafta clue me in.

Oy. I gotta get wit it.

Oy. I gotta get wit it.

I guess you didn't have enough Forsythe to see that joke coming...

Losah losah time to boozah
