  1. hows that for luck. Ball hits Deduno's cleat, caroms into CF and the Yanks score a run. jeesh

  5. I make too much out of small things sometimes, and this is probably a case of that. Still, it bugs me.

    Shortly before the game, FSN ran a clip of Gardy talking about the team. I don't know if it was recorded last night or this morning, but Gardy sounded like he was completely defeated, like his team has no chance. I'm not talking about anything specific that he said, I'm talking about his tone and his attitude.

    I understand losing drags you down, but darn it, he's the manager. It's his job to get the boys fired up. It's his job to convince them that they can win, even if he doesn't believe it himself. If the manager sounds like he doesn't believe in his team, how is the team going to believe in itself? They're beaten before they start.

    Again, I tend to make too much out of small things. There are lots of reasons the Twins are losing. I just think it would be more helpful if the manager was enthusiastic and encouraging, rather than depressed and discouraged.

  6. It seems to me that if you can't get hits with men in scoring position, making productive outs probably isn't going to make a lot of difference.

    1. The way things are going, when the Twins do get a hit with runners in scoring position, it'll be a hard single with a runner on second, and the runner won't be able to score.

      1. You'd think I would remember that from my Little League days. 0-15 was not uncommon for me.

  14. Of course they're going to call Thomas out. That was one of the few things that hadn't been checked off the list yet.

      1. The only leg to stand on with that call was his last step, and when you're running out a play like that, how can that last step matter? If you don't step into fair territory, you're not even going to hit the bag.

  23. think about this:

    Phil Miller ‏@MillerStrib
    How silent has Twins' offense been? That 2-run 8th was 1st time they sent more than 5 hitters to plate since 6th in. Monday, 48 innings ago.

  25. Why was Zoilo not called for running out of the basepath on that play? He ran the exact same route that Clete did.

  29. The radio guys couldn't remember how the post-game stuff goes after the Twins win.

    1. I just caught the replay.
      1. What's with that Yanqui uniform abomination? The only thing I repect the Yanqs about is their unis. They mess with them outside MLB's required league-wide stars-and-stripes ca$h grab$, and they're about to lose that.
      2. Clete's face on the play is awesome. I bet he's thinking about that one hit in the grand scheme of things. You realize how little I hit the ball, right? I get an out instead of one of my few precious hits for that???

  33. Spent the day painting and the Twins win. Good news then, as I'm going to spend another day tomorrow painting.

        2. I painted our bathroom a few weeks ago. Celtic Gray was the paint company's name for the color, but to me it just looks blue.

  34. Who needs hits with men in scoring position? Just hit a few balls over the fence and have Ace Duderino take care of the rest! It's an unbeatable combination! We're still on track for 109-53!
