Buddy Boshers owns the Twins?

Buddy Jim.

[rghrbek]

At least Molly can be proud that his coaching did everything it could to get this win...a successful bunt.

[twinsnorth49]

Mollie smokes out the bullpen to win game 57? Or in order to lose 101 and 102?

 

Maybe he's craftier than we think?

Just spit balling.

Why would anyone want to send their kids to a baseball camp run by the people who are involved with this Twins team?

Because kids aren't bitter, jaded fans and actually like baseball?

[Monkeypaws]

I can only hope our new chief executive might have the level of critical acumen that most you folks at TD seem to have. Molly ain't dumb, but he is just a bad manager, period.

 

To clarify, given the Twins situation, we need a manger who will help develop young players, and get the fundamentals sound. Sounds like TK.

Yeah, but who likes sacrifice bunting? C'MON!

[snepp]

 

I'm not sure if we're actually Twins fans or just masochists.

 

.....

 

 

 

 

 

Yes.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did we win yet?

[Monkeypaws]

Well, if we don't win it's a shame. Hardly worth losing sleep over 

 

Masochism sounds much worse.

[LaBombo]

 

Grossman playing DH and batting second is just insult to injury.

 

Hey, you're a Twins fan... how much worse can they really make you feel?

 

 

 

As a bonus, here's a suggestion for your daily Twins fan gratitude exercise: be thankful that the 100th loss occurred with a full week of baseball left instead of coming down to the suspense of the final weekend.

Shame was like three steps ago in the Twins fan grief cycle process for me. I'm leaving One Hundred Loss Resignation for First Overall Draft Pick Euphoria as we speak.

[LaBombo]

 

Did we win yet?

 

Yep.

You meant the Twins?

 

<shrug>

 

Oh.

Well, that was fun.

[Deduno Abides]

Why would anyone want to send their kids to a baseball camp run by the people who are involved with this Twins team?

Because you want your kids to focus on their education and not get good at baseball, so they won't be distracted?

[spinowner]

It wasn't until about 20 minutes ago that it occurred to me that the Twins were playing. And now in spite of how things stand with my favorite team I've got the game on. Small glimmer of significance: if the Twins win this game it knocks the Royals out of the postseason.

In 3 years Terrance Gore has 18 career stolen bases

and

not one single base hit.

Someone looking at this box score over the winter will think, "Another game Berrios couldn't complete five. Poor Paul Molitor."

 

If Antony remains the GM, think another team will offer the "We'll take that big contract off your hands in exchange for our 'better' player if you throw in the disappointing Berrios" over the winter?

No

Does he even have a PA?

 

Serious question.

Are we winning yet?

[ScrapTheNickname]

Serious question.

9 plate appearances.

 

(A playoff weapon, indeed.)

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

I would love to see a reporter after the game ask this question to Molitor:  What made you decide to bat Shafer 5th?  What was your thought process?

FYI:

 

Schafer batted lead-off in his final game with the Lancaster Barnstormers back on May 31st.
