were in oakland :headshake

 

were gunna lose.

You can't have a 3-0 count and strike out. That's the worst, especially striking out looking.

Dear offense: Please wake the f*** up. Against a pitcher who relies on a sinker, we can't play for the 3 run homer tonight.

Lets go Garland 1-2-3

Come on big Jon, we need you tonight. A lot.

You can't have a 3-0 count and strike out. That's the worst, especially striking out looking.

 

Our power hitters like to take the 3-0 pitch, and then swing wildly at the 3-1 pitch, which in a lot of situations is going to be an offspeed pitch. Prior made our big hitters look silly by taking advantage of some poor strategy.

Frank goes up 3-0, and ends up striking out.  I think we've seen that as much from him this year as we did from 1991-1998 combined.

 

 

Probably, but I also remember him swinging on 3-0 too. I almost wish he would since it looks like he's only trying to hit a home run. Might as well serve up that pitch.

Yeah 1 gone

All right Timo!

 

Man, Jon needs to keep this ball on the ground until that sun goes down, Timo was really in trouble on that one.

lol what the heck?? Timo makes a good running catch then looks like he was blocking the sun after the catch.

They showed a stat last year on Frank with a 3-0 count, and his average was brutal. It was well under .200 for his career.

Look at the play by the big man!

They showed a stat last year on Frank with a 3-0 count, and his average was brutal. It was well under .200.

 

 

Yeah I guess last year's Frank is a lot closer than 90's Frank.

 

 

 

2 down. Good.

Way to go Jon nice catch

Easy 1-2-3 for Jon.

easy 1-2-3 inning for the big man

1-2-3, ground ball, couple of moderate line drives. Not a bad way to start the game.

 

The more ground balls for Jon, the happier I get.

Good inning for Garland. After last night's debacle, it's just nice to see a pitcher throw strikes.

Yeah I guess last year's Frank is a lot closer than 90's Frank.

2 down. Good.

That was for his career.

If Garland makes them hit the ball tonight, Oakland's not going to score many runs.

Twins won 4-1 tonight. Lead is 9 currently.

Way to start us off Paul. Leadoff double.

That was for his career.

 

 

I miss understood you when you said last year. I was thinking last year's average. I get it now.

AJ gets robbed of an RBI, still gets the job done. Man on 3rd, 1 out.

easy 1-2-3 inning for the big man

Diminishing skills Clause can we waive Frank it sure looks like he's doing what Sheffield said he was going to do if he got traded. Great we got one
