April 25, 20179 yr Again a mistake to put Belisle in rather than Duffey or Kintzler against the heart of the Rangers' order. Last time Molitor did this the Twins lost. Mistake again. Sometimes you get away with mistakes.
April 25, 20179 yr Author It's unreal to me that we're up by a run in the bottom of the 8th, on the road, and Matt Belisle is the guy...Regardless of whether he gets out of this inning....that is absurd. Winston Churchill once said that "Democracy is the worst form of government... except for all the others". Belisle makes perfect sense then.
April 25, 20179 yr Just being honest. I smoke crack and play with my Hot Wheel ramp sets from the the early 80's when I am involved with the game threads. Screw Alcohol. Crack is back bitches! Don't call it a comeback...
April 25, 20179 yr After hearing Torii talk about how he thinks Mauer can make another run for a batting title, I thought, "Where's Bert? He's one of the few who will tell it like it is." Bert said something tonight about being suspended and fined over the weekend. Did anyone else catch that? Was that over the Mauer comment? Really? Did the team fine & suspend him over that?I heard Bert was attempting a comeback to the majors. The Twins busted him throwing batting practice to some of the guys after hours at Target Field. He hit an unnamed player and it went downhill after that. I guess Falvey was livid.

Well you are kind of the game thread artist. I am not surprised, your work often has a subtle crack influence. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--WxyANpWy--/18n7d8oozd1nzjpg.jpg

Did you just make an assumption and then assume the assumption was true and than become indignant about the assumed result? I can't tell

April 25, 20179 yr Buxton walks twice in one game. Texas GM pulls out binder with resumes of pitching coach candidates.
April 25, 20179 yr Buxton with 3 out of 4 good ABs today. Not bad. That's progress.Pitch recognition is huge for BB.
April 25, 20179 yr Man, that Texas pitcher just dodged one. I thought everyone knew you don't throw a fastball eye-high to Dozier.
April 25, 20179 yr Buxton walks twice in one game. Texas GM pulls out binder with resumes of pitching coach candidates.Fantastic post! I laughed out loud!
April 25, 20179 yr Yeah, I really thought that had a chance. Even though it stayed in the ballpark it took a very good catch to turn it into an out, too. Would have been fun to watch Buxton fly from first.
April 25, 20179 yr Did you just make an assumption and then assume the assumption was true and than become indignant about the assumed result? I can't tellOMG that is the only thing that happened on-air that was remotely close to reasoning for being suspended. Was just speculating on the only bits of info I've been given. No reason to rip me for that. If you have the reason for his suspension, let's hear it. He said on-air tonight that he was suspended and fined over the weekend. It's worth discussing, since he's the Twins announcer. Edited April 25, 20179 yr by DrNeau
April 25, 20179 yr I had to reload. My feed is apparently a few minutes behind. Buxton walked again, I gather. What happened with Dozier? Edited April 25, 20179 yr by 70charger

April 25, 20179 yr You'll find that Bert misses a good 30-40 games a yearI know that but he doesn't say he's suspended and fined 30-40 games a year. Like Big Dog said... probably a joke.
April 25, 20179 yr I had to reload. My feed is apparently a few minutes behind. Buxton walked again, I gather. What happened with Dozier?Hit a line drive to deep left field, very nice running catch. Buxton would have been standing there waiting for five seconds and caught it behind his back, though.
