don't forget that bunt he gave up also.
but 3 runs were unearned

Twins are above .500 15 games into the season. Break 'em up boys this team believes in themselves.

The division is even over .500! 37-35, hard to believe.

 

[dougplayer]

Tigers get the Angels next for 3 games.
like to see some chin music for chubby boy Trout.


they miss verlander..still. chance to win 2 of 3..at least

Happy Belated 33rd to Raburn. I wonder what his Uncle Jimmy got him this year?

Anybody see the twins 8th inning rally?

I know we have plate discipline but wow. Watch.

 

[dougplayer]

see. once Dozier is on my team. he straightens up. he knows its my way or the high way.

 

[broncosmitty]

How the hell was Dozier available on the wire?

 

[Nosferatu]

Blowing a 4 - 2 lead in the 3rd playing not to lose... Unreal!

Was that the WildPitch rally thanks to Santos and Happ?

He will be dropped soon enough, he won't keep his OBP up, the only thing he has going for him is there isn't a lot of good 3rd basemen...

 

[Nosferatu]

Nobody in MLB is scoring more runs per game than the Twins.

There are even less quality second basemen with pop and speed though. I figured an OBP around .320-.325, nothing great. Isn't he your leadoff man up there?

Obviously i'm too drunk to think, 2nd baseman not 3rd baseman. Thanks for not rippin me a new one! His carrer OBP is .300 He can add a little pop and a SB or two so who knows, maybe i'm getting used to all Twins players sucking and it's hard for me to believe anything good will last.

I knew what you meant. And I'll prolly be feeling the rum pretty soon myself. He's starting for me in all five of my leagues. Definitely the weak OBP link in all if them. (Only matters in two.)But I nabbed him late in every draft. Really like his value. Compared to taking Cano in the first or Kinsler/Kipnis in the second I think he can rack up some numbers.(grabbed Cano in the 2nd in one, felt pretty good aboot it.) But Im also banking on him slightly improving on his numbers from last year since he's only 27 and this is really just his second season in the bigs. Hes at the top of the order right? The Twins are too good of a franchise to stay down for very long. But Im a Tigers fan that doesn't look at the past three seasons as a complete change in divisional supremacy. Cuz the bad is still half of my lifetime.

break up the Twins

And delabar.

We had 4 runs on 7 walks and 3 wild pitches(no RBI's cuz all were on WP) at one point in the inning. The lone out at that point was a sac bunt lol.

Kubel decided to ruin it a get a 2 run single.

6 runs on 1 hit, 8 walks and 3 WP.

Unreal.

You may be too drunk to know positions but you're right.

Doz can go ding dong nicely but man is he a pile of shit with men on base. Literally solo bomb or nothing. The new Plouffee.

I like Doz but if you bat in front of Mauer....HIT THE GODDAMN BALL. Same goes to Florimon who is over .100 finally!!!!!

Random variation.

tigers win. Verlander had to pitch behind sloppy defense today, he still hung
tough and got the win.

LOL, 2 of the 3 errors were on Verlander himself (bad throws to first on a bunt and a pickoff). If anyone was "sloppy", it was JV. The 3rd error on Alex Gonzalez occurred after JV was out of the game. But a win is a win. He's pitched better games and gotten a loss or an ND, so sometimes things even out.
