to me, he's got bust written all over him. he's got psycho parents and he's playing waaaaaay too much baseball for a kid his age.

What will our season record be against the Twinkies after this game? I do not remember...

The wife and I went out to dinner this evening before the game....so did a lot of Twins fans. I was wearing my Royals cap...definitely got some sneers and laugh from Twins fans....would like to see any of them after this game and see what they have to say.

2nd rbi double tonight

ive heard it takes awhile before the hitters feel comfortable after a surgery like his, but i think he's starting to get there a bit

Yeah, his swing is different. He's been keeping both hands on the bat through the swing.

**alnorth** · 08-11-2009, 09:15 PM

well, that walk from Mijares guaranteed Olivo one more at-bat, so there's a reason to keep watching if nothing else.

**Nzoner** · 08-11-2009, 09:18 PM

Maybe George Brett should've been more vocal about his displeasure with these guys earlier in the season.

Anyone know what our season record is against the Twins?

**alnorth** · 08-11-2009, 09:20 PM

looking at Olivo's stats, look like there's roughly a 4% chance that he'll get his double.

Mr_Tomahawk · 08-11-2009, 09:21 PM

Nevermind I found it.
