Ferris Bueller Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Holy fucking lulz at the Twins lineup tonight. AA pitcher, CF, 1B and then the rest are AAA besides Mauer at DH and Valencia at 3B. It makes sense that we're trying a lot of players out, but I definitely didn't expect to see 7 minor leaguers in the lineup in one night. Edit: to be fair, a bunch of the AAA guys have been up here with us a good chunk of the season with all the injuries, but three AA players in one night? Can't help but laugh. Parmelee looks solid. Joe Benson is one of our top-ranked prospects. Hendriks doing okay for first outing. It's just September call ups, but it is nice to see some of the talent in the minor league system while the rest of the majors squad is sucking wind. I hope Hughes and Plouffe will be back next year on the squad so we can forget about that Tolbert dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChupacabra Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Yeah, I understand why we're doing it. Like I said, I just wasn't expecting see Benson, Parmelee and Hendriks all make their first MLB appearance on the same night. But, I wasn't expecting a lot of things this season. Hendriks has looked pretty good. 7 completed innings, 4 hits, 3 ER. Not bad for a guy who came up from AA to make his first appearance. And I definitely think we'll be seeing more of Plouffe and Hughes. They've both earned it over Tolbert and Nishioka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 At this point I am really hoping SF stays above .500 , I still have hopes we can win the division....but Arizona is 6 up. The rest of the national west is pretty shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RALPH LAUREN Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 fat ralphy, you seem to be a humble soul. i see very little giants fans in here, in comparison to the shit talking gang that bandwagoned up last season. i hope your club recovers, although i doubt it this season, i can see a rebound next season. it goes to show how hard it is to stay a staple in the game, you need good management from the field to the front office, you need a loyal fan base, a growth oriented farm system, and in general you need some luck/ as far as staying healthy and keeping players motivated through tough times ect... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackfatsoe Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 did detroit just hit a fucking grand slam????? jesus, I thought cleveland had this one edit: giants fans still here ralphychan. beltran is finally swinging like he should, and the snakes took an L. strasburg looked pretty awesome, that was nice to see. then of course the nats bullpen gives the game away haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHATEU Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 yea it has been quiet in here with Giants fants. ralphy, ssn and lugar otherwise the whole rah rah gang at the end of last season is silent. even at the games at at&t park when the giants are down you can hear a pin drop so to speak. i have never herd a park get so quiet when the home team is down like that place. its weird...

abcs Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 yup grand slam. But cleveland answered with a 2 run shot. its Detroit up 7-6 in the top of the 9th realize its just a 2 hour drive to cleveland but looking in the stands you see as much Detroit gear as home team apparel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
