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

[Intramural Legend]

Get Pelfrey out of there before he blows this game. He's in line for the win now and his confidence isn't in the cellar.

 

Send someone else out for the 6th. Baby steps.

 

 

crud. Who else expects bad things this inning?

[Twins Twerp]

Who wants to go to a Rays game and sit at the kitchen table? Judging by the attendance, no one.

 

That must be the walmart deck furniture porch...brought to you by sh*tty walmart garden center (i had a bad experience).

[big dog]

Well, that ball got to the outfield fast. Who's up in the pen? Ready yet?...Ready now?

[Guest USAFChief]

Geez, Heath Bell looks like he's growing into a catcher. Was he always that big?

Looks more like he ate a catcher.

[Guest USAFChief]

So tell us, Ron, what was your thought pattern sending Pelfrey out for the sixth?

[big dog]

Good call on taking Pelf out. Call Gardy next time.

[Twins Twerp]

Why the ef did he get sent in the first place. This start just prolongs him from being dled or bullpenned. Man i dislike pelf

[Intramural Legend]

Gardy is certainly is not a history buff. He refuses to use it to help predict future results

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Drat. Sacrifice bunt takes them out of the triple play. For some reason, i always want to see a triple play...

 

Oh well.

[LaBombo]

Thus are the issues of a pitcher who never K's anyone. Too many balls in play, eventually some find holes.

How can you possibly go there as an alleged fan of a team that makes hit opportunities available more often than any other in baseball? Anti-growth much?

[Guest USAFChief]

All three Rays fans in attendance are annoying.

[afurry91]

Ummm... I believe I called this. This happens all too often. Hopefully the reliever can pull a double play out of his hat.

[Intramural Legend]

Ummm... I believe I called this.

 

i call that the sun will rise tomorrow

[Guest USAFChief]

Ummm... I believe I called this.

You and every sentient being in the Western Hemisphere...

 

edit: except one.

 

Re-edit: It's possible I had it right the first time.

Damn you, Gardy

[Guest USAFChief]

Run(s), please.

[Intramural Legend]

There was absolutely no excuse to send Pelfry out there for the 6th. I am trying to remain a Gardy supporter, but he is making it so darn hard:mad:

Boots on the ground report that there were seventy two. But yes, those three were annoying.

[Winston Smith]

With a little luck we can break the team record for k's in a season. It's always good to have goals!

[Guest USAFChief]

I'm sure he wanted to "save the bullpen."

 

Sending Pelfrey out meant he only had to use 3/7th's of it to get through the 6th.

[Twins Twerp]

Have we ever tried swarzie in the rotation before?

[afurry91]

Have we ever tried swarzie in the rotation before?

 

When he first got called up.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Who is it with the logo of the kid with the sour look on his face?

It was Winston I was thinking of!

[Fatt Crapps]

Those Rays fans, man. Get a little creative you stupid ****ers.

[Guest USAFChief]

Have we ever tried swarzie in the rotation before?

28 career starts, none since 2012.

[Guest USAFChief]

It was Winston I was thinking of!

That's...not his face.

[Intramural Legend]

28 career starts, none since 2012.

 

iirc he struggled after the first time through the line up... Kind of like the Ray's starter tonight

[Twins Twerp]

Those ray fans knew we would unload 8 pitchers today so they could yell all there names.

 

And the swarzie thing was #sarcasm as he has been yanked between starting and bullpen more than anyone i can remember...even this winter

[LaBombo]

Have we ever tried swarzie in the rotation before?

 

Fangraphs says yes, so gonna go with no to avoid running for my life like Karate Kid in the shower getup.

[Winston Smith]

It was Winston I was thinking of!

 

I was sent to the corner late last season and nobody has told me I can come out yet! The moderators can be real..... never mind or I'll never get out.
