Game Thread: Twins @ Rays, 4/23 @ 6:10pm CT

Those size 14s couldn't find the bag?

 

He was facing the wrong direction... They touched 2nd base.

[LaBombo]

Good for an ERA of 9.00... what's not to like?

Dirt mentioned that he's 6'7" and two fitty. So if he fails as a pitcher, we should all be confident that he could have another go as an athlete in the NBA as a less-bald Barkley when Love doesn't come to town.

cant imagine the next 3 hitters are going to do any better then the last 5

[GCTF]

Josh Johnson shutdown for 2014.

 

Still > Pelfrey.

[stringer bell]

New bottom of the order--sounds like runs! Here we go!

[jokin]

This didn't happen, so.... yes?

Alex Meyer is currently on a: 6 shutout inning/1 hit/10K game with Rochester (3Ks on Middlebrooks, 2K on Roberts). The arb cutoff date can't come soon enough.

[stringer bell]

7 and 8 made contact anyway.

I'm looking at this photo and I'm amazed at the modern camera and its abilty to stop action.

 

However... I wonder about the physics at play that cause his clothes to fly off and fly off in that fashion... One shoe on the ground and the other airborne. And how did his underwear stay on if his socks came off with his shoes?

[stringer bell]

Swing at the first pitch Joe.

[LaBombo]

Mauer at the plate, down a run with two outs and runners on first and second. TD server crash in three... tw

[Riverbrian]

Hey Joe... Where ya Goin' with that Bat in your hand?

[stringer bell]

Another good crowd at the Trop.

[afurry91]

Pelfrey is at least hitting low 90s on the gun today.

[Guest USAFChief]

"Outfield playing shallow and around towards left on Mauer..."

[Riverbrian]

We may have wanted that out at 2nd... Let's see.

[LaBombo]

"Bulldog attitude". "Zoberth". "Downward plane".

 

*drink*, but only if snepp will raise a glass...

[Twins Twerp]

Mauer gold glover

[Riverbrian]

Defense... Stomp Stomp... Defense

[Riverbrian]

Yeah... We needed that out at 2nd.

 

Pelfrey has been alright. So far it ain't his fault.

[LaBombo]

Shades of 201not zero.

Repaired, free of charge. Good post.

[stringer bell]

Maher/Escobar should have gotten the double play.

[Guest USAFChief]

Yeah... We needed that out at 2nd.

 

Pelfrey has been alright. So far it ain't his fault.

Bouncing the curve to move the runner up didn't help.

[snepp]

*drink*, but only if snepp will raise a glass...

 

Bert needs to retire, he's going to be the death of me.

[Riverbrian]

How long did Dick assume Pineda will be suspended?

[snepp]

How long did Dick assume Pineda will be suspended?

 

10 games.

[big dog]

Look for the Rays to run all night on Pinto. He's not handling the ball well.

[Riverbrian]

Bouncing the curve to move the runner up didn't help.

 

That is true... Kinda like falling down the stairs backwards after getting punched in the face doesn't help the black eye.

[Riverbrian]

10 games.

 

And I suppose I can't DL him on my fantasy team either.

[big dog]

Let's get some hits, boys. This guy isn't that tough. Put a 3-spot on the board.

 

I look forward to looking forward to Arcia's spot in the lineup again. I love watching him hit, or try.

[Riverbrian]

Ha ha... I love the noise made by Mom.
