Serious question (I'm sorry about being serious for a second):

 

How about trying out Ryan Presley as a starter? At least, maybe in ST.

 

If the Twins pitching coaches have spotted something in his arsenal that the BoSox pitching coaches missed when they converted him from starter to reliever a year or so ago, then I'd be all for it.

Jamey Carroll got his 1,000th hit.

 

He'd have had more if he had gotten to hit against the Twins the last 2 years.

The plow, Parms. Unhook it.

 

The direct object. After the verb, put it. Every now and then.

Your instructions. Give them all the attention they deserve, I will.

Laundry won out. Washing my gym clothes. A stinky job but it's gotta get done. (Nothing that some vinegar and baking soda can't cure.)

 

Lucky me I'm making soup and not doing laundry!! Apple crisp in the morning!

You. ****.

Hendriks gets ahead, then seems to struggle to put hitters away.

 

That's odd.

A true bummer to see Pinto leave the game. He is the only reason I take interest in the remainder of the Twin's games. Another season seemingly is ending on a bad note. I wish these guys had the guts to play the spoiler. This team is ruined and beaten down.

 

As a fan, I expected the Twins to be lackluster, but this is almost to much to bare. There is no more fight in this organization.

 

I hope changes can be made.

Right. The book on him has always been... eerily similar.

I'd like a fairy tale.

Concur.

I hope we don't see Doumit in the outfield next year!

Anyone who tells me September numbers don't mean anything when a club is out of contention, has this game (and the past several) as my counter-example. Playing against a contender that is hungry means something.

To be fair, the umpires are kind of rigging this game to make it look lopsided. All the Indians batters have 3 PA while the Twins batters have only 2. How is a team supposed to accumulate hits (and maybe even runs) with so few chances?

Outfield bleachers, sipping a soda? I'd be fine with that.

I think the Twins pitching staff has hit on a way to increase their K/9.

Didn't see the Pinto thing. What happened, please?

Took a pitch off the right wrist area. After a minute or two, went to first, but didn't come out for the top of the next inning.

Hey...didn't you use to be Oswaldo Arcia?

Thanks. Bone bruise is what I'll roll with for now.

I believe the medical staff has already prescribed "rest and rehab." Gardy has him listed as "day to day" in the pregame presser for opening day.

Bi-lateral bone bruise. Those can be tricky.

Interesting. Ryan has Gardy listed the same way.

 

/ Jim Pohlad has Ryan listed as minute to minute.

I wonder if someone put a Fathead of Sano up near Plouffe's locker.

Where is the DQ China?

 

I've been to one in Japan. About 20 yrs ago. In Hamamatsu.

I didn't much love it in the dead of August. But it was okay when I came back about 10 yrs ago in October.

Dickbert: "If Florimon hits one out here, it'll be his first as a RH batter this year."

 

Not asking for much, are we?

Any of you do TRX or ViPR workouts?

Did you get to see Nishi play?
