Game Thread: Royals@Twins 4/13 1:10PM

Gardy's way of letting everyone know he's back. Who else would take their number four and five hitter out of the lineup and replace them with guys they sent to the minors less than two weeks ago?

You can't let those two guys on the bench get stale.

[Riverbrian]

I don't think we need to replace a bad OF with a mediocre one, when we have already yanked one.

 

Nunez will be up to be that guy in just a bit.

[Gibby]

Perk must have had his coffee.

[Craig Arko]

Surprise ending.

 

Hail Hydra!!!

[Gibby]

Hilarious. this looks like t-ball.

[Riverbrian]

That's how you end this game!!!

[stringer bell]

Since Mastro ran for Kubel (winning run in the bottom of the seventh), Gardy put Herrmann in for Colabello (Mastro in right, Herrmann in left) as a defensive replacement. That left only Escobar on a three-man bench,

Perk must have had his coffee.

 

Yup. To recall the movie quote stuff from 2 threads ago... (and the only line i remember from the movie...)

 

"Coffee is for closers."

Twins win!

[mikeee]

Perfect finish to some royal's ball.. The baserunner is out for tripping up Suzuki.

[twinsnorth49]

Winnah!!!! Atta boy Perk

[kydoty]

Even funnier is that had Diaz not called batter interference, it would've been a fair ball anyway and he would've been thrown out for not running out the play.

My Broom is all dirty... I'll use it anyway. Sweep Sweep

Which "that guy" do you mean? Bad, Mediocre or Yanked?

Ha...I was screaming at the TV "pick up the ball, Perk, pick up the ball and throw him out!"

[stringer bell]

Looking at that play again ... that was really heads up running by Dozier and could be the difference (hope it's the difference) between a tie and winning the game.

Shocking! Shocking, that you would praise the blue-eyed charmer with the sometimes-flowing locks.

[LaBombo]

I think you meant: "cleanly-played dual pitchers' duel."

And then I accidentally clicked reply before I could finish. And then the edit button vanished!

 

Yeah, that's the ticket!

Ah crap, I was looking for a broom. Close enough.

I think you people spell it "Darn"

 

[Guest USAFChief]

Great game thread today, folks. Thanks!

[twinscowboysbulls]

Pretty sure we already beat the royals as many times as we did all of last year.

Finally remembered the last time I saw two innings that crazy at the end of a game...

Nice win! Good pitching and great comeback. Not much for hitting but we'll take all the gifts they want to give.

[Squirrel]

Well, that was certainly an entertaining game-ender. Oh wait ... is this entertainment or sports?
