OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread IX - Let's Go Bowling! (Two-Minute Tommy Edition)

[Jesus comma Brodin]

You mean defensively? Otherwise you forgot about one of the best players ever in his prime...

Yes, defensively.

 

[57special]

Donaldson can't even stay on the field for a 60 game season? ugh.

 

[Wild11MN]

Maeda keeps missing low and away, 75 pitches and counting in the 4th.

 

[57special]

Men on first and second, nobody out, Buxton up. How can you not have him bunting? He is a challenge for anyone to throw out. Instead he has a mediocre, unproductive strikeout.

I came here to write this. You have to bunt in this situation. Get Marwin and Arraez to 2/3 and Kepler’s approach to the AB is entirely different.

I'd rather have Duffey saving this game. Rocco going to have him get more than 3 outs?

 

[NHL1674]

The bats need to wake the #$@! up!

Welp.

 

[57special]

We seem to age a lot of all or nothing hitters on our team, and not enough guys who can scratch out a walk, base hit, or even a clutch ground out or sacrifice.

 

[57special]

Umpiring has been all over the place in this game. One moment he's calling it tight, another he expands the strike zone.

That curveball to Garver was called a ball two pitches earlier, has to be frustrating as a hitter.

 

[NHL1674]

Unbelievable home record. Playing a sub-.500 team. This is so Minnesota.

 

[57special]

Everyone seems tight. This is where you need your veterans who you've paid big bucks for to lead the way, like Donal...oh, wait.

 

[57special]

Buxton looks like a child up there. Just put a bunt down, FFS. Get your speed in play.

It's in their heads. The coach can say they don't pay attention or care about the past record, but it's all bull#$%@. They have to prove it, and so far they've failed. They've shown plenty of times what they're capable of in the regular season. But no matter the opponent, they tighten up and tuck in their tails when the postseason starts. It's really getting infuriating.

 

[Victorious Secret]

I'm happy we were able to get .167/.247/.511 Garver into the game. Absolute weapon.

Rocco misplaced his run expectancy chart.

 

[NHL1674]

And there goes the game......we're gonna lose to a below .500 team in the postseason, aren't we?

 

[Wild11MN]

I'm excited to break another record.

 

[NHL1674]

 

[Victorious Secret]

Lazy throw Polanco.

 

[Wild11MN]

Lazy throw Polanco.

Yup. Unbelievable.

 

[NHL1674]

If that costs us.....

 

[Victorious Secret]

If that costs us.....

*when

 

[NHL1674]

Fist through wall!! Talk about shooting themselves in the foot.

I take it back. They aren't losing to a below .500 team. They're losing to themselves.
