August 9, 201610 yr Yeah, that Polanco has a ****ty arm........ I don't know where all those reports came from on Polanco at short, but they were short.
August 9, 201610 yr I like what I'm seeing from Duffey. His heater is tailing down nicely. First two pitches to the second batter were impressive. First pitch was a couple inches low. Second pitch was two inches higher for a strike. That is called command.
August 9, 201610 yr This is about the time Buxton would come to bat, and I'd go to grab a beer, come back and he would have already struck out.
August 9, 201610 yr His change up has a nice drop to it. If his arm level remains down, his curve will be very flat.I noticed the arm angle too. Wondering if it's an adjustment to get more sink on the change or if he's been tipping pitches or something... So far so good.
August 9, 201610 yr I noticed the arm angle too. Wondering if it's an adjustment to get more sink on the change or if he's been tipping pitches or something... So far so good.The important thing for Duffey is getting his fingers over the top of the ball, so it bites downward. So far he's doing a great job of getting over the ball.
August 9, 201610 yr Is anyone else getting suspicious that the Twins are considering Centeno for the full time starting gig next year? Not sure that's even a horrible idea, but the thought made me pretty nervous for a second....
August 9, 201610 yr I noticed the arm angle too. Wondering if it's an adjustment to get more sink on the change or if he's been tipping pitches or something... So far so good.The problem is his curve (reported as his best pitch) will flatten out and he loses fastball control.
August 9, 201610 yr Is anyone else getting suspicious that the Twins are considering Centeno for the full time starting gig next year? Not sure that's even a horrible idea, but the thought made me pretty nervous for a second....Yeah, he's not a starter. I think he has bad hands.
August 9, 201610 yr Yeah, that Polanco has a ****ty arm........ I don't know where all those reports came from on Polanco at short, but they were short.Probably from the same people that got us into this mess in the first place.
August 9, 201610 yr 11 to Springer...Sure, other than that he's been decent. I don't see a big issue with his count, lacking an out pitch is all really.
August 9, 201610 yr Way back in high school chemistry class, I met a kid that liked to screw around after class mixing chemicals randomly, like me and a buddy of mine. I noticed that he was missing the ends of a couple fingers. How did that happen? He'd been making gunpowder with a mortar and pestle. What?? He was grinding the powders...together?? He hadn't thought of that. My point is, when Tyler Duffey throws his flat four-seam fastball in the strike zone, he's asking for an unpleasant explosion. Duffey should never throw that pitch in the strike zone. You could lose a finger that way.

August 9, 201610 yr When exactly is Juan Centeno gonna field a bouncer without it skipping away from him? I'd really like to see him block three in a row successfully.
August 9, 201610 yr You went to highschool with Jason Pierre Paul?Even dumber than that... My buddy and I were trying to make nitroglycerin. The teacher wouldn't tell us how.
August 9, 201610 yr In one of his essays, Borges noted how whimsical it was that in the Spanish language should apply virility to a pen (masculine ending), but not a lance (feminine ending). Nota bene that pronouns agree in gender with the object, not the subject. Fun fact: Ancient Greek has three genders!Declension is an entirely different beast. Apparently Finnish has something like 14 case declensions. I am just catching up on the GT, but if I find anymore posts of this nature I am notifying a moderator! . if I find a need to speak in a foreign tongue, I will speak Canadien!

Not to worry, I just spotted that post. I'm standing on guard for thee for anymore of that nonsense. This is a Game Thread fer Chrissakes.
August 9, 201610 yr Please don't make polanco buntYou got a line into the dugout,? Can't figure out any other reason he's not bunting.
August 9, 201610 yr I am liking Jorge Polanco. This kid can flat out hit, and most of his hits are very flat.
