Joe Mauer Not Playing Today

It's never a good time when you're in a pennant race, but everybody needs a day off. Sadly your starting catcher is not Jose Morales.

Gardy handicaps his team. What is the over under on passed balls? Foul tips off of redmonds body?

Oh, bother.

Seriously?

Ugh, bad form, Gardy.

Duensing and Morales?

That’s also a scary thought. Someone has to call the game. I’ll take Redmond for that.

And no one has much seen Romero on this team, four ABs is the tops, but at least Redmond has a hit and an RBI off him. Maybe not such a bad choice.

I am pretty sure Morales caught Duensing

before they came up to the Twins. So, not too scary.

I could catch Duensing

Don’t see a relationship here. Catching the guy doesn’t mean Morales can call the game worth a crap.

These things tend to matter in real baseball.

gardy

just fundamentally lacks the decision making skills to take this organization to the next level. wonder how much longer the organization will take to recognize that.

Gardenhire's major league career: Banjo hitting, futility infielder who couldn't lick it.
Rick Anderson's major league career: Strikethrower who never made it happen with his sub 90's fastball.
Really gives a new definition to living vicariously through other people, don't it?
