The little things, oh the little things.

How long a leash do we give Kluber?

WTF? Sometimes I hate this team.

At least it was not Plouffe.

The on-line PBP leaves a bit to be desired on this one - what happened, Mauer started to head for home and then turned back, and Hammer with his blazing speed was already two-thirds of the way to third?

So maybe no one is to blame?

Yeah, that's exactly what happened. The throw was off too, Mauer would have probably scored.

Plouffe up with 2 out now. If they only end up with 1 run in this inning I blame Plouffe's blithering idiocy.

Late stop sign by Vavra, but Willingham didn't appear to even look at him. I thought Mauer could have scored. Throw was a bit up the 1st base line. It would have taken a perfect throw to get him.

Yeah, that's exactly what happened.

 

All except for the blazing speed.

So maybe no one is to blame?

 

Ullger? Doumit's worthless pitch framing? There's always blame to pass around.

I keep hoping that Plouffe will play to his potential and silence his critics.

Bases loaded, no outs, 1 run.

Do not overlook Arcia's alarming lack of clutchness in the on-deck circle. They lost a game about a week ago with him swinging the bat feebly while on-deck in the ninth.

 

I see he managed to make it to the batter's box this time. Progress.

Bases loaded, no outs, 1 run.

Jinxer.

C'mon Arcia!

Damn.

Damn.

 

At work, our management is always telling us to do more with less. Twins seem to have that one backwards.

Arcia looked overmatched in that AB. Had no clue what was coming.

Damn.

 

Pretty much.

I was hoping to be able to go pick up breakfast, but will not do that unless the Twins are up by at least 4. My dog is pacing the room, which is stopping the Indians from scoring.

I'm sure this will be Pelfrey's last start as a Twin. 6 K's in one game? Unacceptable, far too many fielders standing around getting paid to do nothing.

bases loaded, no outs, followed by a base hit to the outfield...1 run.

ftfy

Make that 7 K's.

Does Gardy tempt fate by sending him out for the 7th? Only 91 pitches, so it's not an automatic shower just on that basis.

Mine is flat on her back on the couch, not doing a damn thing to help the cause.

Pelf could turn out to be a great buy, if he can pull it together and be consistent.

 

Now lets get runs so I can get some food.

Maybe that is her rally strategy. Has it worked in the past?

Still talking about dogs, right?

blah blah blah bear down, blah blah blah man up.
