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

[GCTF]

Took me a while, but eventually I got there.

 

Phew, was also considering retirement.

[Winston Smith]

The Rays organization should be embarrassed one a-hole can stand out that badly

 

Better to be embarrassed by a fan rather than the team on the field I guess.

[Riverbrian]

That was beautiful Dozier... Well done!!!

[big dog]

Mauer is just painfully overdue. Now's the time.

 

- edit- walking Mauer to get to Plouffe. Make em pay, Trev.

[afurry91]

There ya go, Dozier.

 

Mauer, if you strike out....

 

Edit: I guess it's hard to strike out if you get intentionally walked.

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

Way to put the bat out, Doz. That's baseball.

[Twins Twerp]

Baaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllfffffffffffffoooooooooooouuuuuuuuurrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[amjgt]

OBP padding

[afurry91]

Suicide squeeze!

[Riverbrian]

Ok Plouffe... You're up... Just find the OF please

[Guest USAFChief]

Never seen a first baseman standing with his left foot in foul territory -- now that what you call guarding the line

But you've seen one standing with his right foot in foul territory?

[Squirrel]

Dozier gets him over, Mauer walks.

Ha! I called it!

[GCTF]

Is this where I sign up to groan about Mauer taking another walk?

[afurry91]

I'm calling for the squeeze! Listen to me Gardy!

[Guest USAFChief]

Dozier gets him over, Mauer walks.

Prescient, she is.

[Riverbrian]

They are shifting on Plouffe... Must have some old notes

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

Time for a 2 run homer...

[Guest]

Who regrets the length of their Ryan Howard contract more? Subway or the Phillies?

 

Needs research. How many people go to the concession stand to get something to eat when Howard comes up? If the number is high enough, the Phillies may be getting more food sales than Subway is from their contract with Howard.

[Squirrel]

Is this where I sign up to groan about Mauer taking another walk?

I mean really. Surely he could've swung at one of owe pitches!

[big dog]

Hey, whoever made the call on a four-hour game about 2.5 hours ago is looking really good right now.

[Physics Guy]

I guess he could have tried to swing as they pitched out.

[afurry91]

Thanks for nothing Plouffe.

[Squirrel]

Prescient, she is.

Heh, read that as prescious.

[Riverbrian]

Sigh... Or make that SIGH!!!

[Twins Twerp]

When is sano going to be ready

[big dog]

I don't want the old Trevor. Give me the new Trevor back.

[Squirrel]

Damn it Plouffe. Well, poop, for Pete's sake.

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

NOOO!

 

 

[LaBombo]

Plouffe doesn't strike out. Organizational win.

[Riverbrian]

Prescient, she is.

 

Alright Chief... Put the Thesaurus down.
