Game Thread: Twins @ Indians, 5/5 @ 6:05pm CT

[Craig Arko]

Tooka Chinchilla? Me too, but had to drop it after a dreadful legal battle with a casino up north.

 

On a totally unrelated note, the avatar is great. Taking rescue carnivore rabbits for a walk is something to be proud of. Well done.

I know how you feel... Today I decided I'm not watching Three's Company re-runs anymore.

 

Thanks for taking a principled stand.....

[Mr. Brooks]

Yesterday :

 

Mauer lined out in his lone plate appearance before exiting prior to the start of the third inning. He figures to miss at least the first game or two of the Twins' seven-game road trip that begins on Monday.

In other words, expect him back in the lineup about mid next week or so.

[GCTF]

So the Twins are rockin' the one man bench tonight? Mauer unavailable, Santana doesn't actually exist.

[Willihammer]

I miss Hammer

[LaBombo]

"92 Mph fastball blown by Swisher" just happened.

 

It's the DB hyperbole parallel to the raised timber/OMG, possible Twins' home run call that he leads the league in.

[GCTF]

I am done with Gardy. Continuing to put florimann out there is the last straw for me. I want him gone.

 

No mention of terrific corner outfielder Hermann. Invalid post is invalid.

[Winston Smith]

He makes Gardy feel good.

One of these is Gardy and one is Floriman career line guess which is which!

 

.232/.277/.296/.573

.208/.269/.307/.576

You mean those half dozen/game routine OFer flyout catches 10 feet in front of the warning track? Oh, the drama...

[ashbury]

I want him gone.

 

Last straw? I seem to remember the first post I read when I discovered this site was you saying this.

HiGH drive, DEEP left field, caught... by the shortstop.

Now you're just piling on. Give Mike some space for digesting one hypocrisy at a time.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Get rid of the Straw Man -- I want him gone.

I have to remember not to view it on a full stomach, but different tastes I suppose.

[jokin]

Is there any rule that says the first straw and the last straw can't simultaneously exist in one universe?

[jokin]

Get rid of the Straw Man -- I want him gone.

 

But then...what would we have to argue about?

[Willihammer]

Just get rid of the first baseman and let Dozier and Gibby cover plays on the right side

I heard John Gordon do that his first year in 1987.

No Doubt... I'm think Gibson at SS... They are developing a combo.

[cmathewson]

Best athletes on the field. The Indians announcers are saying the Dozier throw was wild, but I think he was throwing it to Gibson all along. Great play at both ends.

Ok, that's the funniest thing I've read today.

[cmathewson]

What was Colabelo doing on that play?

My go-to position is to always trust Dozier's decision process, the guy seems to have uncanny baseball instincts.

[ashbury]

Nobody was saying he should stay.

[jokin]

Ok, that's the funniest thing I've read today.

 

It ain't easy trying to keep up with the guy in fearsome bunny shoes....

[Richie the Rally Goat]

What was Colabelo doing on that play?

It looked like he didn't look for the throw until he got to the bag.

[Willihammer]

What was Colabelo doing on that play?

 

I think he forgot to tag up

[Riverbrian]

What was Colabelo doing on that play?

 

Somehow he knew... Just stand right there and he will be on the Sportscenter Top Ten Plays.

Your right, the slomo replay showed Dozier threw it to Gibby because Cola was playing Right Field

[cmathewson]

Call it the Mendoza inning.
