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

Guess we forfeit if 'zuke gets injured.

Serious answer--Santana to the outfield, Herrmann behind the plate.

[Beezer07]

Gibson giving the Twins their 3rd straight (4th) long start. I like it.

[stringer bell]

So with 2 shortstops and one of them DH'ing, what happens if Escobar gets injured. Do we lose our DH when Santana has to play short. How ironic.

Yep. Used all three catchers and all three shortstops.

Escobar would catch and Dozier slide to SS, Hermann to 2nd base, Corriea to RF?

[GCTF]

?

After this I think I should be allowed one tasteless Nishioka joke in which the side mods look the other way.

Or a pitcher gets to play in the field?

[Beezer07]

Maybe this game's substitutions are a sign that Hermann can get back to the minors ASAP...don't need 3 catchers.

[Craig Arko]

You all deserve this. Even TGJ.

Oh yeah, Herman catches, duh!

[cmathewson]

Tough hop.

Because Santana pinch ran for DH, he's done now right? You can't sub for DH except for injury right?

[GCTF]

Hermann to catcher, and I think I heard something about Burton taking fly balls.

Santana's the DH.

[Reider]

A solo homer would be nice right now, Brian.

[Reider]

That will do.

[cmathewson]

Let's give them more outs! It could be fun!

[Beezer07]

Boooo bunting. Boooooooooo

[cmathewson]

What? You can pinch hit or pinch run for the DH.

Deal.

[Guest USAFChief]

Deal.

Concur, but IMO he used it in the post in which he asked.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Thanks for clarifying. I had it confused, you can't double switch DH

[ashbury]

That made the goal more memorable. You can now talk about that every X-mas and Thanksgiving in the future.

 

There was also the divot in our living room drywall from when Favre threw that interception late in the playoff game to seal the Vikings' fate, that we also razzed him about until we finally had a painter come in last year.

[Guest USAFChief]

Thanks for clarifying. I had it confused, you can't doubler switch DH

I think the double switch is sort of a move used mostly in games without a DH.

[ScottyB]

Let's put Burton in, then we'll win - NOT

[ScottyB]

Duensing - same as Burton

[ashbury]

So now that Pinto was taken out for a pinch runner, can he come back in and pinch hit for Florimon?

 

"Gentlemen, lineup cards please? Oh, by the way, we're playing t-ball rules today."

[Guest USAFChief]

Effective outing for Gibson.

[ashbury]

our unrelentless slugging

 

[Riverbrian]

Now he better pinch hit for Pedro, or I'm giving his cell phone number to Mike.

 

Gardy: (Cell Phone Rings) Hello

 

Mike: What the Hell are you doing?

 

Gardy: Who is this?

 

Mike: Mike Wants Wins... What the Hell are you doing?

 

Gardy: Hey Mike... I'm Sitting in my hotel room. Watching Lettermen.

 

Mike: You have Santana on your Roster now... Escobar has been hitting... Why are Playing Florimon?

 

Gardy: Gibson is a sinkerballer.

 

Mike: I don't care if he throws cream puffs that float to the plate and turn into butterflies... You don't have to play Florimon.

 

Gardy: Ummm.... I just got done going over this with Chief. Gibson throws the sink and he needs the best infield I can get him.

 

Mike: You are a sad little... Sad excuse for a... You are... A... (Pause)... How did you get this job?

 

Gardy: How's the little lady... Tell her I say Hi. Carol and I are gonna stop by and play some bridge with you and her.

 

Mike: I know 32 different ways to kill you. I was thinking of trying them all alphabetically.

 

Gardy: Good talking with ya Mike!!! I gotta turn in... We got another big game tomorrow.

(Hangs up Phone)

 

Mike: (Yelling but too late) Don't play Florimon tomorrow.
