Shouldn't it be the Non-All-Star break?

 

If it is broke, how should we fix it?

 

Granite! Get the jokes out of your system now.

 

You'l need them when that one pitcher gets called up.

I was thinking I was the only one here........  

Based on seeing hip grind in one at bat. I think Granite will be rock solid. A hard out.

I just hope those outfield walls were tested vs. granite or a similar igneous rock....

Happy to see Granite get a start but I kind of wish it wasn't at the expense of Buxton, who's had a nice last week or so. 

 

Couldn't we sit Grossman and DH Kepler or Rosario. Other than yesterday, Grossman has been scuffling a little. 

What happens when granite hits limestone?

Maybe just a longer break for Buxton, as he has hit the wall a lot.

But, I'm with you as, play your hot players!

All I want for Christmas today is a solid game for Gibby and timely hits to outscore these dirty birds. That is all.

I just want a win after a not so great day yesterday ... tennis leg hurts, car repair bills hurt ... I want a win and all will be well again.

Agree.

Annnnd Gibby just put us down 3-0 in the first.  Guess I'll leave the house for a while. 

Aaaaaaaaaand all the momentum from Friday is completely gone because we have too many holes in the pitching staff.

Saw that one coming.

Spotting Baltimore some runs again.

Sigh. I think I'll buy some shoes.

Ugh!  Sorry you've had it rough this weekend!  Put up your bad leg and relax, if the Twins lay an egg you can find plenty of good garbage TV on YouTube and Netflix.

Nazi mega weapons on netflix is entertaining. 

unfortunately for Kyle, at the end of the day (when all things get done), you are what the numbers say you are.

What happens when granite hits limestone?

Most likely he breaks whatever he hit the limestone with.

You bet enough money on the Twins to buy a new car AND a bionic leg?

Sigh. I think I'll buy some shoes.

Finally! Something truly interesting! What kind of shoes? Where from? What color?

 

I'm something of a shoe fanatic.

Great start . . .

dozier now 8 for his last 41 with 14 Ks

what you do in your private life is your own business

dozier now 8 for his last 41 with 14 Ks

Maybe time to move him out of the lead off spot?

That's true...

That time should have been a couple years ago when it became clear his best skill was power, not getting on base.

Agreed. Just thinking this is an opportunity for someone to convince Brian that his struggles are due to batting first, and when he naturally starts hitting again at another spot in the lineup, might stop being so insistent on batting first.

zero reason to keep Gibson in with the ASB. all hands on deck. Might as well finish it the way weve done it most of the year.

What are the chances Gimenz and Jon Jay are pitching simultaneously?
