ST: Twins @ Blue Jays - Aug 3-6

[rarefind]

From now on when you google "casual fan", this dumbass will come up first.

What really bothers me is none of his dumbass friends are giving him a hard time but rather enjoying this blunder. Making a play on a ball coming at you is one thing, not looking like you give a **** after the dust clears is another.

[Shaazzam]

Anyone else think Hazel Mae is doing a good job with the post-game interviews?

She actually asks intelligent questions, unlike Barry Davis and what's his name whose questions always begin... "Tell us..."

I hate hate hate the "tell me..." construction. Just indicative of such total laziness.

How about "talk about"?

[Raps in 4]

Can someone gif Batista staring down the idiot fan?

You're awesome. Thank you.

honestly, with the way our lineup is setup i feel like we dont necessarily NEED travis and that goins being there defensively is actually better for the team. that being said, i still would like travis back.

That's crazy talk. Travis has been an incredible bat from 2b and a solid defensive player. He's been worth 2.4 WAR in just 62 games.

Goins has been ok as a defensive replacement, but he's been worth all of 0.2 WAR in 79 games. There's no comparison here, the sooner Travis comes back the better.

8-1 since the Tulo trade, 6.3 runs per game average :O

Lineup should be:
Tulo, JD, Bautista, EE, Travis, Martin, Pillar, Revere, Smoak/Colabello

Avg/Power, Power/Avg, Power, Power, Avg, Power, Getting better, Avg/Speed, Power

are you serious? Travis offense is far better and the defense isn't that much different. Travis over Goins anyday.

Lol, what is the context of this picture?

Lol, what is the context of this picture?

The fan picked up a live ball (he took the ball out of Batista's glove), giving the Twins an automatic double. He then laughed about it while Bautista stared him down and then shook his head in disapproval. The idiot fan got ejected from the game after that.

Just watched the highlights, that was hilarious.
Pillar with the play of the game.

[Dennis 37]

I would just like to point out that the Blue Jays had 37 hits against the Twins in the four game series.

[wazabifuzz]

can anyone count how many highlight reel catches that Pillar has made this year ?

Unreal ..

[Raps_Swingman]

Instead of matching Price up with the Yankees, Hutchison should be getting skipped. There is no reason to be running this guy out there every 5 games if he's going to pitch like this.

I agreed but who starts on his turn then? I think that's the issue right now...

Hendriks? Wolf?

If there are days off (as we have over the next few weeks), nobody has to. Just have a 4 man rotation for stretches and maximize Price starts.

Hutch has been given enough rope here. They cannot be throwing games away with this guy on the mound when every one is meaningful.

We do have days off (Aug 10 & 17, 20 & 24). But the issue then becomes removing Price from a Yankees series or having Buerhle pitch at Yankee stadium where he's stunk.

I don't know what the answer is, but he certainly is pitching like a ham and something should be done....

give him the gold glove already.
