Just cracked open my first Oktoberfest beer of the season. Now it's officially fall!

I think luck is a divine spell...

I was wondering which arcane rule he was referring to.

[wsnydes]

yeah, pretty soon he'll hit doubt digits...

 

The second game in his last 11 games he got at least one BB. That qualifies as quite often recently for Dick.

Considering the subject matter, it is.

I had a two year tour in Germany, and was never there for OKtoberfest.

I hear it's the perfect pairing to crow ...

[Aggies7]

From what I understand, the Oktoberfest beers in Germany are quite different than the ones here. They're a bit lighter (color and texture) over there. More poundable, if you will.

 

Would love to visit Germany, although things seems quite dangerous nowadays...

[HitInAPinch]

Pretty swing.

[Aggies7]

I hear it's the perfect pairing to crow ...

Meh, I was wrong about Gibson yesterday, but I can be drunk on beer today and everyday!

[ScrapTheNickname]

Drew Butera's OPS is .830. Whu happend?

[jimmer]

The Keys stats this broadcast team uses cracks me up.

[Squirrel]

It's still a good pairing with crow.

Bacon wrapped crow.  Yummmmm......

 

Tastes like squirrel.

 

[jimmer]

If Kepler runs all out there, he's safe

[Squirrel]

Ish. I really don't like bacon.

[Aggies7]

[Aggies7]

I had no idea kepler's parents were ballerinas.

 

That's so cool.

[jimmer]

When did the Royals decide one of the very best defensive CFs in the game the last four years should be moved to RF?

[Mike Sixel]

Ish. I really don't like bacon.

Every time you type that here, an angel dies.

[Squirrel]

Are you kidding me? No way. I'm riding this one to the end of the season!

[Squirrel]

Every time you type that here, an angel dies.

Ish? An angel dies when I say ish?

[CampQ]

You should probably blame Brunansky?

[USAFChief]

 

When did the Royals decide one of the very best defensive CFs in the game the last four years should be moved to RF?

When he came back from the 15 day DL for a hammie, and they decided he would put less strain on it in RF.

Orlando out for stepping off the line. I don't remember having seen that call in a game I have watched

[Jerr]

 

We're probably in the minority when it comes to social media, as others love the convenience of it. Including the owners of this site!

Pop Quiz time! We're on the honor system here. 

Can you guess how many tweets the Twins Daily owners have?

Seth Tweets:

Parker:

John Bonnes:

Nick Nelson:

Brock Beauchamp:  

Just got here and could find noooo answer in the thread, soooo I say 7,003 or NONE....what do I win????

 

    

[Craig Arko]

So two games in a row with Mauer not at 1B?  yup, defense is a priority...

They said Mauer is dealing with a sore quad, if I recall.

I've seen it called a lot and argued to be called even more.

[USAFChief]

Not bilateral, though.  

 

Fortunately.

[wsnydes]

Same here. I'd argue that it's inconsistently implemented. Some times I think it should be called and isn't, other times it is called and looks like a ridiculous call.

[Aggies7]

Review dat ish

[jimmer]

A real 1B stretches enough to make that an out.
