August 9, 201610 yr This may have been asked in another thread, but why don't you see players wearing those "Power Necklaces" any more? Were they just a fad, or did they not "work"?Venice Beach called, needed them back.
August 9, 201610 yr Pitching coach to the mound, bullpen warming up. Thanks, pitching coach guy who's name I can't remember!!
August 9, 201610 yr Even dumber than that... My buddy and I were trying to make nitroglycerin. The teacher wouldn't tell us how. Twins Daily is either for the better, or for the worse because of that teacher. Everyone will have to form their own opinion!
August 9, 201610 yr Dozier would have reached out and had his glove at thigh level and then showed to ump his glove, and Santana would have been safe. Correa keeps his glove low and makes the tag. I hope Dozier watches and learns. Might be too much to ask, though. "I don't think you talk about this nearly enough," said Sarcastic Guy.
August 9, 201610 yr Bert has talked about it lots of times, and it's also true in tennis: If you want the ball to bite downwards, you have to punch your fingers over the ball at the release point. If you don't fire those finger missiles, the ball won't bite down. For instance, lots of people can swat a tennis serve very fast, but they have no idea why it sails flat and long. Opening up too soon and not jabbing your fingers are the two reasons the ball sails long. Same thing must be true with pitching. I wonder if Neil Allen just told Duffey that...

August 9, 201610 yr Even dumber than that... My buddy and I were trying to make nitroglycerin. The teacher wouldn't tell us how. Good thing too! You could have ended up like the guy on "Breaking Bad".
August 9, 201610 yr "I don't think you talk about this nearly enough," said Sarcastic Guy.Funny. But please don't start sniping at one another.
August 9, 201610 yr Come on TD! I need some analogies for what we just saw! Never mind. Deer in the headlights?
August 9, 201610 yr Remember when everyone touted Monitor as this tremendous base running guru who would gain us all kinds of runs on the bases as a manager? Those were the days.
August 9, 201610 yr Deer in the headlights?I was thinking grizzly bear slips on a banana peel and slides down the mountain head first... then gets picked off 2nd.
August 9, 201610 yr Remember when everyone touted Monitor as this tremendous base running guru who would gain us all kinds of runs on the bases as a manager? Those were the days.Yup, around 260lbs ago.
August 9, 201610 yr Good thing too! You could have ended up like the guy on "Breaking Bad". The difference between comedy and tragedy is when you end the story. ;-)
August 9, 201610 yr Remember when everyone touted Monitor as this tremendous base running guru who would gain us all kinds of runs on the bases as a manager? Those were the days.I was thinking the same thing. Well said. Monitor needs to put on a base running clinic more frequently.
August 9, 201610 yr Geeze, Polanco looks like he can hit McHugh in his sleep!I doubt that. McHugh would probably balk or something, if he really were asleep.
August 9, 201610 yr I don't remember a Twins team ever having this many baserunning mistakes. Maybe I've just walled off that corner of my mind. Or maybe I'm old and I forget stuff, that could be it too. Nice inning here if Sano had stayed on second.
August 9, 201610 yr I doubt that. McHugh would probably balk or something, if he really were asleep.Not to mention, hitting him would wake him up.
