Cup of CoffeeLast night I watched the fairly putrid Tigers feed as Miguel Cabrera and Dancypants starred for Detroit. That’s about as much as I can take. WGOM FitnessAfter talking smart yesterday, I succumb to some junk. Read more… Quest for 73-89

with that last win, the Twins are 24-24 in Central Division play, 21-45 against the rest of the AL
24 of their last 27 games are against the AL Central, too.
SEND HIM!!
Who puts a dude with a .100 OBP in the #2 spot?
Gardy is a genius!
On a scale from 1 to Stephen Hawking, he’s George Costanza.
SEND HIM!!!!!!!
Today would be a good day for a first win.
Joe’s beard is looking awfully full. At least for Joe.
playoff beard
well…Twins Baseball
Saw this between games:
Let’s try that again.
‘Dear Mr. Ryan
Please send me some real pitchers. I cant handle sending out Alex Burnett everyday anymore. Thanks a mil
Gardy’
Parms has more to learn in AAA
holy cows, that was was smoked
GEEEEEEEEEEENE!!!
Did the Twins increase the roster today?
If Hencriks can pitch like he did last game, I promise not to make fun of him for the rest of the season.
I mean, Hendriks.
Also, Hendriks sucks.
aaaaand the no-hitter is toast
HendricKs
I mean HendriKs
I never noticed that there is no ‘c’ in his last name
At least you put the ‘c’ somewhere it made sense.
Were you expecting Hecndriks?
Nevermind, I C it now.
Somebody wearing a Twins jersey caught it on the fly. That’s an out in my book.
freakin’ give-back runs
its going to be one those games :/
This is not entirely Hendriks’ fault. Both of those hits were on pitches that had great location off the plate.
3-0? I’d give Butters the green light.
that was Butera’s second walk since May 24th.
That’s a walk rate that would make _elm_n proud!
I thought that was going to be a triple. The outfield grass is real soft and slowed that ball.
Flower Monster!
50 pitches in 1+ innings to this point.
and that’s why you don’t put a guy with a .100 OBP in the 2-hole.
kudos to Provus for spookying that one
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
pussy sing-- oh.
PUSSY!!!
LOL
Casilla cleverly struck out on purpose so the Royals would leave Hochevar in to pitch to Mauer. Now that’s Twins Baseball!
Joe really killed the rally by taking all the pressure off of Hochevar.
I would feel badly for Royals fans had I not been on the other side of so many games like this already this season.
Joe Mauer (574) is now only 6 RBI behind Micheal Cuddyer (580) for #10 on the all time Twins RBI list
I think the best part of the Mauer slam was it was to right field.
this game is going to wrap sometime around 11PM central
I will NOT be awake for that. I’ve been up since 4:30 central.
Was there a disturbance in the force? I’ve been up since 5:00.
I got up early to run. Also, I’m in the Eastern time zone.
So much healthy living at the wgom these days.
That’ll speed the game along a little.
HendriKKs
awwww, I was assuming we were going to get 4 runs every inning
I really wanted to see Butler try to stretch that into a triple.
HendriKKKKs
that was kinda awesome
Gees Dick, you got awfully excited for the wrong team there.
to be fair, it was a pretty nice play.
And what about that time?
HendriKKKKKs
this is getting stupid. KC’s two out hitting is off the charts
No loss for Hendriks!
Howdy. Wife and kids are out of town for the weekend so I can work on some actuarial education and some house projects.
Dinner is a cheese plate with Tillamook cheddar and some fruit-wrapped chevre. Plus dates, almonds, and a roast beet.
At the side is a Lagunitas Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’.
Mussels, baguette and MN sweet corn.
verdict on the beet: 90 minutes at 375F was not enough. Wonder if I can put the others back in despite having let them cool…
I’m going for it…
I fear:
Hendrix: Twins 2012-15 :: Hochevar: Royals 2009-12
Because Hochevar is totally the guy to pitch 9 innings and give up only one run and lose because facing FHer, and then give up five runs in 3+ innings against a Hochevar.
On the bright side our exceptions are somewhat tempered as only one of this players was the number overall pick in a draft.
Poor Royals.
On the bright side F-Bomb set a personal record today with 7 walks (and 6 Ks)
Hochevar two starts ago in Tampa Bay: 8IP, 0ER, 1H, 3BB, 10K, ND
(Doubly impressive as he was apparently underwater.)
Last start, in Boston: 8IP, 4ER, 8H, 1BB, 6K, CGL.
So he’s still more Hochevar than Hendrix has ever been.
Hendriks had five Ks, no walks and no HRs allowed in 3 2/3 innings. The Royals were 10-for-16 on balls in play plus the error by Plouffe. At least four hits were on balls that were clearly out of the strike zone and only one could be described as being “left up.” All four cost him runs, at least four of them in total.
More poor Royals: Hosmer is batting 8th? Ouch.
Congrats Rhubarb_Runner!
(heh heh — it was my second guess, and took WAY too long. Not many tuned in anymore, I guess)
Or even in the gamelog…
/rolls eyes/
the Twins need some Geico runs
Kyle Waldrop in..well he’s not Jeff Gray
Slama’s coming, I can feel it.
I still don’t like seeing Waldrop wearing 57.
Waldrop time!
that would have been pretty nifty.
Provus educating me: 26th man for a double-header is not available if the makeup game is the next day.
PICK HIM OFF!!
Nice call!
I now expect a Royals double.
(yes!)
slowclap.jpg
well played sir
YDNROJM!!!!
YDNRODB,GP,AJM!
thats a series win!
Puppies for everyone not drafting Fantasy Football teams!
Yay!
Cool.
I have never heard of Rick Lysander
Rick “Innocent” Lysander? Holy crap, you’re even making young people feel old.
That happened before I was born.
Ditto.
Oh, you kids. (I’m virtually roughing up your hair)
The learning process continues for Hendriks. We’re still on track for 84-78!
