RA Dickey suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Have the Twins scored 4 runs combined all year?

Does a knuckler flutter when it's cold?

 

[the moops]

the twins have the 3rd highest runs per game in MLB

I'm watching via the gamecast on MLB.com...Gibson's fastball has more movement.

At least according to this thing.

Puig had an interesting 2nd inning.

Bumgarner's WHIP is hovering around 2.00

BABIP is crazy: .449

Throwing the ball around the infield after a strikeout is kind of a weird thing when you think about it.

You're a weird thing.

Freakshow Wilson comes in with his gas can.

I've wondered why this is a thing my entire life. In little league I asked my coach why we did it and he said "just because."

Thanks, skip.

Cause strikeouts are fascist.

Makes sense in little league. If the other team isn't putting the ball in play you need to keep the defense involved and alert.

Hummmm Baby

 

[RnR]

That's the reason. Keeps the infield involved and moving.

I kinda like the throwing the ball around. In a sport that hates showing the other guy up, I've always seen it as a mild form of showboating that nobody acknowledges. I like it. Baseball needs more showboating. In a mano y mano sport, these guys shouldn't have to supress the urge to show the other guy up from time to time. This is a seemingly respectful way for them to do it without having to call it showboating.

It's like the whole infield saying "Heyo!! Have a seat son" and "We're getting bored out here watching you sissies strike out"

I know nobody will agree, but that's how I see it.

I don't hate it at all, just wondered why they do it.

I guess keeping little leaguers sharp makes sense, doubt the pros need it though.

That's behind my showboating theory. They don't need to stay sharp. They are just dancing on the grave of a failed AB.

 

[the moops]

It also takes the next batter like 2 minutes to get up to the plate. Gives everyone something to do or look at while we wait

I always thought it was to see who can catch the bestest.

Not about staying "sharp" ... about staying loose. Nothing is worse for readiness than getting back on your heels. Professional or not, it's human nature.

 

[Raider Nation]

So it's okay if the outfielders don't stay loose?

definitely would seem worthwhile to have pablo sandoval whip the ball out to hunter pence.

Hunter Pence is one guy who I don't worry about his concentration straying during a game.

well,now youre just getting ridiculous

team rant: my team doesn't have a W by a starting pitcher yet.

You have got to be ####### kidding me.

That's rough.

We switched to QS a couple years ago. Feels nice not to have to worry about stupid wins anymore.

Does it feel better to worry about stupid quality starts?

Next time its essential that an OF makes a sharp, accurate throw on a batted ball with no one on base, let me know.

Cubs / Reds game

Top of the 7th, 1-2-3 inning with each out being 3-1. Don't see that every day.

Then the descendants of Joe Tinker butchered the 7th inning stretch. Thankfully don't hear that every day.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Here's another and looks like the infielder was a little slow on it, maybe they need foot speed drills between batters too?
