Remember, when you were a kid playing a pick up game and you didn't have players to afford a catcher.  If batting, you would try and 'back catch' the pitch you didn't swing at?

what the heck was that pitch?

Simmons starts us off with a walk.

Did Norris think that he needed to stop the clock with a spike?

It's been almost two minutes since it happened... please tell me there's a .gif of that.

I don't think the ball wanted to leave the hand.

Just had the same question

I don't know if he's totally blown his chance, but he hasn't claimed a spot either. He had a nice little stretch right after being recalled and if he could recreate that, he'll get his OPS up over .700, which is okay for a catcher. 

He's getting walks and hits an occasional homer. His Ks are down since his recall. Not great, but not a total disappointment.

Any starter batting .190 should certainly be considered a disappointment in my opinion. I do think professional hitters should be able to hit .220 or higher, and if they can't replacements should be seriously considered.

If only I had been recording...

And I have no idea what the snake did to anger Norris, but I hope it's okay.

Wife says to husband, who pitches for the Twins...."Honey, come to bed".

Husband: " Ump says no sticky stuff.  I'll be right out".

Wife: (Sighs)

Go get 'em, Larcnach!

For some reason I thought it was Kepler, but Thought I heard that last season and the roster is not the same

Another chance for the 2 out bases loaded hit.

 

And remember, walk's as good as a hit to a blind bat, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say n'more, know what i mean?

These are the times I wish they'd never traded Esco  

Things are getting interesting! 

Stayin' alive!

Tigers' wacky bullpen implosion has Twins attorneys checking for possible patent violations.

GREAT hit by Kirilloff! Tie game!

Thanks, Kirilloff!

We tied.

AHHHHHH! We're the Comeback Kids . . . If every team we play is the Detroit Tigers!!
