Woah!

And etymology!

 

Apparently Eckersley coined it.

 

 

Ps. now i wonder who coined the phrase "coined the phrase" i'd like to give them a mint...

A few more of those and we will have to get the ghost of Gene Mauch to administer his special Willie Norwood hot glove treatment.

I guess after that play we can postpone that visit,

Catch that, Celestino, catch.

We need some runs. This close game is getting in the way of my nap.

All we need is just one more run than Baltimore scores. One may be enough.

Welcome to the next installment of "Here's a Twin we dumped who is doing decently well but probably nothing to cry over losing except he's about to have the game of his life against us". Hopefully we can lie in the weeds again, let them think they are going to win, and then pound their bullpen into submission.

Go Twins!

We didn't dump Tyler Wells ... it's really an important distinction. I was actually more disappointed to lose him than Baddoo.

You heard it, folks. It's been a while for Vanimal. Give the man what he wants. 

And if not, we know he's a jinx and he can never return

Well, or you could take an hour nap and come back to the same score as if you missed nothing

Jupiter.

[Vanimal46]

Perfect strike home by Celestino!! 

[RpR]

We need a left fielder who has a arm like that!!!

Dumping is another interesting word.

Jupiter.

Yeah, i rewound to the beginning of the game to experience it. It was Twins specific poetry too.

 

I woulda been psyched if they had used Mars, but alas, no.

[ashbury]

Wells, ugh, the gift that keeps on giving*.

 

* Pain, to the donor.

[Squirrel]

Well, I think the Bringer of Jollity is important to a game

Buxton and Hicks also make that throw. Span and Revere probably not. Hunter; not sure.

It might have been a ball...

It looked high and outside to me. But the tag was applied, and i ain't complainin'. Just sayin' is all.

[Vanimal46]

Need some god dang hits. 

[Craig Arko]

Orioles have some pitchers the Twins may want to inquire about.

[KirbyDome89]

Mini rant:

This isn't a pitchers duel so much as a string of brutal ABs. Not exactly an original observation, and maybe I'm hitting the dog days a little early but it's hard for me to tune into games like this. Whether it's the Twins or their opponent, watching guys swing out of their asses and then sit down or make weak contact is so damn boring. Kudos to Smeltzer and Wells for getting outs, but these lineups are up there just hacking away.

End rant.
