Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 8/18 @ 7:15pm CT

Bert talking about Duffey "hitting a wall" and trying to get to "where he's been"

 

This is the same Duffey with a 5.71 ERA this year, coming into this game. This is where he's been, Bert. 

[Platoon]

I had an 8 track player in my first car that featured quadrophic sound.  True story.

How many speakers did it have?

[Aggies7]

Duffy might have the best stuff on the staff, but has the least between the ears. Very frustrating.

 

The least between the ears award almost certainly has to go to berrios. Maybe we should attempt to draft ballsy fellas?

[jimmer]

 

Alex Gordon hits a Grand Slam.   .219 BA.....

Gordon came back from injury too soon.  His timing was off. He's hit very well this month and been on an absolute terror the last week or so.

See...gameday just caught up.... Now I understand....

GameDay on my end still hasn't gotten to the 5 runs.  Maybe that's all a mirage.....

Oh please don't let this be true.  We are SOOOOO screwed.

[Craig Arko]

So, Vikings/Seahawks starts in about a half hour.

I doubt that's true.

So earlier in the thread there was discussion on social media, and some took minor exception to my ridicule thereof. My wife just brought me one posted on hers. A former classmate of mine, playing "In heaven there is no beer" on his concertina. And somehow while playing poured from a longneck Schells mounted on one end of the concertina, into a cup mounted on the other end, and then to drink the beer. Never missed a note! My point is to apologize for belittling FB! Without it, I would have never saw this extraordinary event!

Well??  We're WAITING!!

 

[Aggies7]

I doubt that's true.

 

In what way? He has fantastic minor league numbers and get out of the 3rd inning (or worse) for the twins

[Craig Arko]

Note that 'best stuff' and 'best command' are two different things. Cases in point: Samuel Deduno, Alex Meyer.

Worse sight today....that half inning, or the emperor has no clothes statues?

[USAFChief]

Huh.  Grossman took a called third strike.  Go figure.

[Aggies7]

Huh.  Grossman took a called third strike.  Go figure.

Remember when there was talk around him finishing with the obp title?

[Mike Sixel]

He and Boshers..... Great pick ups.

[Platoon]

Well??  We're WAITING!!

 

I have absolutely no bleeping idea how to load it.

Thats funny!

[Aggies7]

Meh, not a good answer inning

[USAFChief]

 

I have absolutely no bleeping idea how to load it.

Now THAT is funny.

 

 

 

 

 

In a "I wouldn't either" sort of way.

He's had 7 starts. A LITTLE too early to label him like that.  

[Circus Boy]

"I'll take 'Ethnic customs' for a thousand, Alex."

 

"Good luck, Circus Boy. Here's your answer: People at a polka like to do this."

 

"What is Pole dancing?"

 

"Yes! And you've taken the lead!"

My vote would be that we haven't seen the concertina beer pouring/drinking video.

more of an expert on unloading, myself :-)

And here's today's violation of decorum...

Cut the guy some slack, its really hard to draw walks when you swing the bat. Or something.

[jimmer]

BTW, I'll say it again.  If a real 1B is out there, the runner is out for out #3.  All that nonsense that happened after that was when they should have already been in the dugout.  Doesn't excuse Duffy's breakdown at all, but again.  Defense matters.  Playing people out of position all the time has consequences.

[Aggies7]

True, but only twice has he lasted past the 5th
