Sandy Leon: In Play, No Out

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Some extra inning practice.

 

I like leadoff doubles.

[Parfigliano]

Couple more shirts plus some facial stubble and Gladden could be a dime store Steve Bannon.

You've decided that after one start, against one of the best hitting teams in baseball?

No I decided that 2 months ago.  This is more of the same

What do they have against oats?

[Mill1634]

Sandy Leon is La Tortuga if he was good at baseball

[RickOShea]

Now we Sandy to steal 3rd and then score on a wild pitch.

[stringer bell]

A challenge here to get an insurance run here when the guy on second is not exactly Usain Bolt.

The Sandy Leon sample size at Target Field is getting larger.

Arraez bunt?

Insulting Leon or La Tortuga?

NVM

[Pius Jefferson]

Excuse, Reason or Both. The Twins miss Wes Johnson. Pitching numbers likely decline if Johnson stays but don't collapse.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Arraez can break out of his slump any time now.  Lately, he almost gives the appearance of being a near automatic out every time up.

[stringer bell]

Good job C-4!

If Johnson stays he isnt Johnson.

[Aggies7]

Brutal at bat by polanco 

[wsnydes]

Polanco needs to break this RBI-less stretch...

Arraez is too stubborn, like a lot of MLB'ers, to adjust.

A DH that cant hit....so useless

The strongest defense for the man that I could muster.

[Aggies7]

Just terrible to get nothing out of that.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Threaten, but do not score.  Where have we experienced that before?

Double AARGH!

[RickOShea]

Not even close to contending baseball.  Lead off double and you can even get the guy to third?  Unacceptable.  Unless you are just going through the motions, waiting for someone else to do the job.

[srjr19]

One thing this team is great at is wasting lead-off doubles.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

 

I need to review jinx 101 sometime...

[USAFChief]

Talk about bad baseball. 

That's just awful.

Typical from a team so utterly punchless in the latter half of games.  Like us.
