    I knew I had seen that Vargas 'run' from third to home before, and I finally tracked it down on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFufoOgCMW8 Below: An opposing catcher having a quick bite as he holds the ball and waits for Vargas and a play at the plate. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-veSEU_UNGGQ/VcaTCGShDRI/AAAAAAAAlc4/caMmCdokL1I/s1600/MontyPythonHolyGrail_181Pyxurz.jpg

    Huge break for the Twins as Dancing Bear knocks the ball out of Wright's glove, but out of view of the ump. Whatever works.

    Chase? Is that you? http://a.fssta.com/content/dam/fsdigital/fscom/mlb/images/2015/08/21/082115-MLB-Philadelphia-Phillies-Chase-Utley-PI-SW.vresize.1200.675.high.95.jpg

    When the Twins are playing well I don't mind Smalley so much, which is to say that I can't stand him any more. Sometimes he almost seems like he's teaching a class that shows the wrong way to talk about yourself.

    Would we be able to tell the difference between warmed up vs not based on the results?

    And so we bid adieu to yet another victim of the Wheel of Futility... http://i.imgur.com/zaFPaqw.gif For what it's worth, it seemed to me that after some Impressionist and Cubist Bad early on, Duffey finished the night on a more classical Bad note.

    Fenway's cool in a way that only historical parks can be, and if nothing else it can be an interesting place for some scoreboard watching...

    FSN Apology Tour 2016 continues with this Smalley classic: "Duffey isn't pitching badly in the classic sense of the word 'badly' ".

    Dear Fans, Please post your thoughts about the 2016 Twins on our Facebook wall! Thanks, Dave St. Peter

    It seems ironic to me that the article begins with a kind of admonishment to critics of Twins management on a day when Twins management was repudiated by the firing of the man orchestrating the whole affair. But worse, and much more unfortunately, it seems factually incorrect to wave away 'the country club narrative' when it was more or less reaffirmed by the owner himself, who insisted that personal loyalty to Paul Molitor rather than the designs of a new GM would dictate who manned the helm of the 25 man roster in 2017.

    Promise? My interest in the Twins survived the Nishioka of middle infielders, but it may not survive the Nishioka of GM's.
  12. LaBombo
    Ouch. I was thinking more along the lines of him breaking up a drunken scuffle at commencement.

    You boys better break it up before Chief steps in... http://66.media.tumblr.com/868ef7da06716652d5facfbb5b7c57bc/tumblr_n2ac4xeGeC1rujq2eo1_1280.jpg

    There's always going to be a grey area between being hurt and being injured, and the communication between player and medical/training staff will always be imprecise under the best of circumstances. That said, the Twins seem to be enduring more than their fair share of players playing through debilitating injuries, whether through their own concealment or failure of recognition on the part of the staff. Language considerations aside, it's particularly troubling with Park. A veteran like Plouffe may be able to judge whether the sore ribs made him tardy on a Chris Sale fastball he'd normally catch up to. But even if Park can describe how he feels, he doesn't have the experience in the league to give him external feedback on whether he's playing effectively through the pain instead of just ineffectively with the pain.

    Next 3 wins... http://img2.rnkr-static.com/list_img_v2/19540/339540/C520/the-very-best-of-the-futurama-fry-meme-u1.jpg ...or next 3 speeding tickets?

    Dick with the Mirror, Mirror reverse of his usual hysterical OMG calls on warning track fly balls. http://ashleyshockey.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/evilspock.jpg He probably wasn't expecting Vargas to achieve an exit velocity of roughly double the pitch speed...
  17. LaBombo
    Vargas homering off the batting tee will look like he turned on an Aroldis Chapman 101 MPH heater in his season home run total.

    So you're saying Suzuki's three-on-the-tree transmission has a higher gear than JOG?
  20. LaBombo
    Smalley can go several innings without saying anything of worth and then suddenly come up with something like taking the Ranger player to task for that dreadful lunging tag attempt instead of protecting the base. I'm amazed how often it happens and how seldom it's mentioned.
  21. LaBombo
    And so is Kepler. And his agent.
  22. LaBombo
    Kepler has reached the point where I'd watch the Twins just to see him play. Come to think of it, until Sano came back that's almost exactly what I was doing.
  23. LaBombo
    Don't get your hopes up. He can only listen to the calls that make it past Sarah the Twins operator...
  24. LaBombo
    Only four AL teams are 10 or more games out of first in their respective division, or five teams if you count the Twins (21.5) twice...
  25. LaBombo
    Great game for Duffey. Please, Paul, take the 6 innings and run. Besides, wouldn't want the bullpen to get rusty after sitting through that first complete game of the year.
