Let the kid start the 6th ??   its obvious Rocco thinks of Dobnak as more than just a opener , 2 h.b.p. and 2 walks  only Blemishes,  with Kyle we would still be in the 2nd or 3rd inning

 

Hey - been awhile since I posted - but have been wondering who did Squirrel used to be?  I missed the name change, or did the real Rally Squirrel recently joined the forum and has simply had the time to post over 24,000 times in a few weeks? 

 

And if it is the real Rally Squirrel - is it true you are trying to sabotage TC Bear so you can be the primary woodland mascot for the Twins?  I heard you might have spiked his honey with something that made him act inappropriately at some fan event and is now taking sensitivity classes.

 

I am starting to think the early part of the season might not have been a fluke.

Seriously? You don't know who Squirrel is? We used to live in the same neighborhood years ago ... Sebastian Joe's on Hennepin and Franklin ... still like stopping there for a scoop of their raspberry choc chip ice cream ... but the eatery that was in a garage ... I think it's long gone

 

Alright, boys. I'm out to get my bluegrass on! Keep the vibes rollin'! Let's get this W!

Do we need to hold a FlauerPauer Bake Sale? Must be tough wearing Blue grass

I think the former user name is of little consequence. He or she was just biding his or her time until choosing the appropriate time to run on the field and reveal that he or she was the new rally animal.

 

Give me Schoop over Perez any day of the week.

What has Schoop done lately for Twins? Perez can be an opener at least.

 

No reason not to run Dobnak out for the 6th.

It looks like they are bringing Smeltzner in, and I'm fine with that.

LaMarre and Schoop should not be on post season roster. Wade, Cron, Gonzalez, Castro, Adrianza, Kepler, Polanco, Cruz, Garver, Sano, Rosario, Arraez, Cave, Berrios, Odorizzi, Dobnak, Rogers, Duffey, Littell, Romo, May, Graterol, Smeltzer, Thorpe and Perez (Thorpe, Perez and Smeltzer should be in the bullpen).

I recall hearing talk that Adrianza was likely done for the year.

Braves clinch.

Schoop is statistically an above average hitting 2b that can hit LHP. Perez contributes nothing. Using him as an opener is asking to be down 4-0. There are 15 guys I'd rather have opening than Perez from your list (and yes, I know you listed just twelve pitchers).

Sensitivity was last nights class...tonight it's all about the culinary arts

Soler-Dozier-Gordon coming up.

 

I say Dobnak should be done for the evening--he did his duty.

Dobnak is looking cooked

Geez ... did Eddie have a shot at that ball?

 

Dobnak is looking cooked

Better get him out before he gets smoked

Attaboy Dobby!

Nice job, Randy Dobnak! Let's go D. Smelz, clean it up and keep the Royals off the board.

 

Braves clinch.

They clinched a postseason berth several days ago.

I did like living there - walking distance from Liquor Lyle's and Leaning Tower.  Title Wave became a Hollywood Video and is now fine dining.  Actually there were three video stores within a  block and a half -- times change.

Didn't look like it to me. It was just a classic bloop hit - Soler's a power hitter and everyone was playing deep. Buxton at full speed might have caught it on a dive, but it really didn't appear to be a catchable ball for most OF.

Heh, I worked at Title Wave ... but the one out on ... well, not that one

Larry VanOver must be related to Flavine...2 pitches to Hoskins were non-called strikes leading to a walk

 

Tieing run at the plate

 

Oh wait isn't this the Cleveland GT?

 

Update...no runs

Liquor Lyles ... who all here has been to Liquor Lyle's???

Rocco just can't help himself.

I only care about results not stats. Schoop does not drive any runners in. He is not needed. A waste of roster spot. I care less about Perez, Stashak can take his roster spot. Wade, Cron, Gonzalez, Castro, Adrianza, Cave, Arraez, Polanco, Garver, Kepler, Cruz, Sano, Rosario, Berrios, Odorizzi, Dobnak, Smeltzer, Rogers, Duffey, Littell, Romo, May, Graterol, Stashak, Thorpe. If Adrianza can not make it, Astudillo can make the roster instead.

Hold it, Twins! Cmon Cody!

Are you watching a different feed??? Looks like MouStashak on my TV

If you're going to take out Dobnak if the first batter gets on base, why wouldn't you just bring in a fresh pitcher to start the inning?

Looks like Dobnak will have to wait until his next turn to get win #1.

I have lots of connections to that area as well.

 

Grew up on Irving Ave near Uptown in the late 70's all the way through the 80's. Went to Jefferson Elementary - not far from Liquor Lyle's, right across from what used to be an Ember's and a Burger King right there on Hennipen. 

 

I remember when Calhoun Square was built, it was supposed to be the next big thing...maybe now it's finally cool?

 

Spent much of my youth riding my bike down to Lyndale & Lake to go to the "Grand Slam" baseball card store.

 

Speaking of Franklin Ave, a great family friend of ours is the founder/owner of the Electric Fetus!
