Cup of CoffeeI think we can safely start focusing on the development of Buxton, Sano, Gibson and the like. WGOM FitnessI’m not sure exactly what’s happening this week, but yeah, shedding like a dog. Read more… Quest for 73-89

One half inning completed!
Welcome back, Denard. We’ve missed you.
Wow, the bottom of that lineup sure is ugly.
love to see the Twins hit triples
Span now with more career triples than Cuddy. That took longer than I’d of thought.
actually Cuddy has 1 with the Rox, so he has 37
Span has as many career triples as Todd Helton and Andruw Jones
I think the Metrodome really helped accumulate triples. I think Cristian Guzman led the league more than once.
Guzman led the AL in 2000, 2001, 2003 and hit 61 as a Twin
If you’re a pull hitter with lots of speed, a Cristian Guzman is going to like most any stadium.
He hit 1 3B every 65 PAs in his career. He hit 1 3B every 51 PAs at the Metrodome.
Of course, b-r apparently thinks the Metrodome was an open-air stadium. His career splits indicate only 42 games played in a Dome, but 439 in the Hump.
286/325/416 in the Metrodome (23 triples in 1691 AB)
261/311/352 in the Cell (2 triples in 176 AB)
305/333/401 in Jacobs (3 in 177)
273/298/416 in Comerica (and 2 for 16 in Tiger Stadium) (4 in 170 combined AB)
284/314/392 in Kauffman (6 in 194)
He was younger and healthier in his Twins years, so that could account for some of the rate difference.
He was older away from the Metrodome. No doubt the Metrodome helped some, but he was a triples machine.
Hey fellas, start up the fans.
So, do we have any hos that need shaving?
Or hos that need smerring?
If we score in the second inning, it will be a miracle.
Hi everybody!
Hi, Dr. Greek! (Wrong animated series, but at least the same cartoonist)
And Zoidberg is also a doctor! Granted, his doctorate is in art history, but close enough.
Butters with a hit?? It’s a Festivus Miracle!
B. Jeebus still back-spasming?
Time for a pussy riot.
Ho-Shaver IS pitching.
Dazzle just said that Hochevar is “settling in”. Does Dazzle not understand Hochevar, or is he just not trying?
Liriano used to “settle in” as well, as much as Chaos Theory allows for settling in.
Dazzle can’t be expected to know things.
I laughed.
Or he just doesn’t understand that there’s a difference for a pitcher when facing the top five hitters tonight and the bottom four.
Called it. Hochevar is the most Hochevar Hochevar evar!
Maybe they should try him in the ‘pen.
When Hochevar pitched that 80-pitch CG in 2009, or that 13K 7IP game a month later, he still never settled in.
I just turned the radio on, and the first words I hear Dazzle say is that the Hochevarest evar is “settled in.”
Just seems preposterous. Like “Tony Batista really has a lot of range tonight.”
wow, sitting here in Omaha hotel using the work laptop, I didn’t realize all I was “missing” on Gameday, Facebook, etc. when using Ad Blocker.
Isn’t it great?!?!?
I’ve already forgotten.
SEND HIM!!!
I’m not even going to comment on the word “ho-shaver”. Nope.
Dazz on Ho-Shaver: “He’s got…electric stuff…when it comes out of his hand.”
Me: I guess stuff happens on the ball’s way to the plate.
Must be alternating current.
Just read the book ‘Man Out of Time -- Tesla’. Good read. Cool dude. Fed the pigeons.
Yep. Tesla is one of the awesomest scientists ever.
Bases juiced. Zat like a smoothie?
This KC broadcast team was doing so well--talking about WAR and fangraphs. Then, they start talking about pitching to contact.
Although, I suppose pitching to contact can’t be worse than this.
How about that? He HAS settled in.
Small ball.
Dazz, if you have a runner on first base all the time, you have more opportunities to turn two.
Twins of the early 80s lead the league in DPs turned too, as I recall
And that would be my cue to go to bed. Night!
I’d leave, but our dynamic catcher is at the plate.
Ok, now I can go home.
There’s that unsettling electronic-bat-sound. What up?
Dick talking about the Twins possibly being interested in Jeremy Guthrie. I don’t even want to think about what would happen if a Jeremy, even if he is right-handed, joined the Twins.
just setting up the triple-play…
Any batter now, triple-play. Any batter…
this game —> hell in a handbasket
Hochevar’s still pitching. He could strike out fifteen straight*, or he could give up 8 runs so fast Yost won’t even have the bullpen ready.
*Not exactly.
tryin to let a young pitcher get the win, Gardy lets him get the loss instead.
That’s the first time it’s ever happened, though.
Probably will never happen again, either.
I’m seeing a Casilla slam in the near future…
Carroll fixed that vision problem for me, though.
Delmon Doumit
D’ohmitt.
Glad I’m not paying attention to this one anymore
Clown Show in Left.
More for the “I wouldn’t hate him so much if the media didn’t fellate him so much” file:
I don’t remember the last time I read a lede about him that didn’t editorialize about his awesomeness.
Neck Fat sighting at Coors. Walks The CarGo on five pitches in the seventh, gets pulled. On the bright side, he looks fit compared to Panda.
Goodnight Keith Moon
R’als eats us.
Looks like I picked the right time to bail. Trying to determine BOSO: that would be the pitcher to allow the run to score that made the game not a save opportunity for the KCR. Twins E# in the division drops to 3. Twins will still be alive when the Sox come to town for Friday’s game. Twins could be eliminated on the field. At least then they’ll know they deserve to not win the division.
Twins Wild-card elimination is still zero, unless you want me to start going negative.
Forgot to rule on the BOSO:
it goes to Kyle Waldrop. Came into the game with the score 5-8 (opposition save opp). Left with the game 5-10 (opposition save opp blown).
It was a good game until the eighth, when a DSL game broke out. Obviously, Delmon Young messed up left field so badly that it’s still impossible for anyone to play it. We’ll have to settle for 78-84.
