A pitcher went down and a hitter replaced him! Somehow the Twins are down to 12 pitchers.
Joe Mauer has been close to hitting a home run the last two games.
Jorge Polanco is on fire.
I'm gonna toss out the theory that he was playing through an injury during his hot mess part of this year.
Maybe. But it looked to me that he got into a slump and tried to get out of it by flailing away at every pitch in sight.
No Dazzle tonight. Did he go to Sturgis?
I'm not that upset that Colon doesn't have to run the bases on that one.
DOZIER!!!!!
Is Brian Dozier going to get to 40?
where was he at at this point last year?
23
HE'S GOING TO GET TO 40!!
SEND HIM!!
Who drinks a quart of pop in one sitting? Good lord.
When I was in high school working at the IGA, a quart of Mountain Dew, a bag of Doritos & a couple of Ho-Hos was my meal break.
That's just 4 8-oz glasses of diet soda, and I can sit for quite a while.
When I was much younger, I would often drive or ride the 8 hours between the Twin Cities and Kansas City. I would take a 2-liter bottle of Mt. Dew and drink it all myself in those 8 hours.
Max is due.
(Kind of) rewatching A Few Good Men in the hotel room; Cal Ripken just ended the Twins' 15 game winning streak while Tom Cruise answered the door.
Oh yeah...Joe is due.
Ripken was intentionally walked and scored the winning run when the next guy doubled. So I guess it's technically correct that Ripken ended it by scoring the winning run, but that usually refers to the guy who drove in the run and not the guy who scored it.
The game was from the wrong time of year for the movie anyway, so no use trying to make sense of it
as was the Braves/Padres game he watched as well, though at least both games were from 1991. And they probably figured no one would care the movie is set in 1992.
For a while I wondered how he could be watching both of those games from his apartment in D.C., but I'm guessing it's possible the Orioles game was on local television there and he could have watched the Braves game on TBS if he had cable.
Until the Nats arrived, Baltimore was on the "local" baseball team. I spent 1987 watching Billy Ripkin's rookie season from my D.C. apartment.
Provus is quite wryly extolling the quality of construction of the dump in Milwaukee: "Season ticket holders know where the [roof] leaks are and bring their umbrellas."

I'm guessing he doesn't mind working at the LOL.
TIBN guy says Jay Bruce to the Indians.
MLBTR agrees.
Milwaukee BASEBALL!!!!
Down 4 in the 7th and they're bunting?
Trying to avoid the shutout against the 44-year-old.
Runner going on two of those pitches... yeah, no kidding
Trying for a bunt hit trying to get on base, obviously. Don't know why he got a sacrifice.
Boo, Molitor.
So you don't want to use your closer 3 games in a row, but you'll use him for the 3rd time in 4 days to protect a 4-run lead?
That was easy. Whatever Fountain of Youth product the Twins are giving Colon, I'd like some.
huh. vargas down (again!), and enns up. to start. on thursday.
If I was still working at Hughes Aircraft, we would have said this move was "to confound the enemy"
Must be tired from his PH appearance.
