Game Thread: Twins @ Indians, 5/7 @ 6:05 pm CT

[GCTF]

Pat: 250... What would you like to do?

 

Hosken: Is there a Z?

 

Pat: Yes there are two of them... What would you like to do?

 

Hosken: I'd like to buy a vowel!!! A

 

Pat: Is there an A?... Yes... Bunches of them...

 

Hosken: Good... I like watching Vanna walk... It's hard to believe she is 95 years old.

 

Pat: What's Next?

 

Hosken: I'd like to Solve the Puzzle...

 

Pat: OK go ahead

 

Hosken: Pizza Zebra Amazed

 

Pat: No I'm sorry... That's not it... Ashbury your Up

 

Don't make me post Randy Marsh's appearance on the Wheel.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

There was only room for one of his characters on the roster, not two:

Funny guy, more reason to sign him

[stringer bell]

Prediction--Yan Gomes will not with the Gold Glove at catcher in the AL. If we can't ridicule our own players, we can go after the opposition.

[Halsey Hall]

Florimon with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored! Here he comes!

[GCTF]

Gomes is the catching version of Knoblauch.

 

Yet I don't feel like throwing batteries at him.

[Riverbrian]

Hey Brian,

 

Here's a fun fact for you. Nyjer Morgan played a few games for the Regina Pats hockey team. The guy is a good athlete.

He'd fit right in with the Minnesota Hockey mentality. He should be a Twin... Then we wouldn't have to watch Escobar playing well out there.

[ashbury]

Pat: No I'm sorry... That's not it... Ashbury your Up

 

Zyzzyva?

[S.]

You'd take Sam Fuld and Aaron Hicks over a guy who can make catches like that AND bat 296?

34 ABs this year, played in NPB in 2013, and has attitude issues. I'd rather we hadn't botched the whole OF situation this offseason instead of either of the options you listed.

[Jerr]

After seeing the lineup?

 

Wish I was back at work:cry:

 

late here and hoping for a Twins' WIN!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Just turned on game and the first thing I see is Nyjer Morgan's robbery of Pinto's XBH. Gamecast isn't working properly, since it shows Nolasco hasn't allowed a baserunner.

 

Gomes doing an excellent job of putting Pinto's 'defensive issues' in perspective...

 

Do not attempt to adjust your gamecast... We control the horizontal. We control the vertical...

cause looking things up is fun.)

 

And sorry i'm too slow to put it on the first reply to yer post.

We'll keep nagging you until you do.

[diehardtwinsfan]

and there goes the no-no

Holding LaBombo responsible.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Now Now, Twins/Indians. Perfectly symmetric violence never solved anything.

 

(#9 hitter on, followed by a hit.)

Sure, me too, but options are what options are. He was available and I don't care what his attitude is. He's better than either Fuld or Hicks.

[Ultima Ratio]

Does anyone know what happened to the "what's new" button on the toolbar? That's how I keep up with game thread's new posts.

[stringer bell]

Eight in a row, and now bases loaded two out.

[ashbury]

Ball hit Colabello in a bad location. His glove.

[Reider]

I miss Morneau's defense at first base..

[S.]

"On January 14, 2014, Morgan announced that he had signed a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training with the Cleveland Indians.^[29] In spring training, he earned a spot on the 25 man roster and started the 2014 season as the starting center fielder and lead-off batter."

 

Hindsight is 20/20, but on January 14th, none of us actually thought we were going to break camp with Bartlett as an outfielder and no viable options in AAA and have Arcia, Willingham, and Hicks injuries in the first month.

[stringer bell]

"Watching" on Gamecast. Will the Twins win their challenge?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Me and my big mouth. I got asymmetry.

 

Lotta ball to play still.

[Reider]

Perhaps Colabello could use this glove next game..

 

[LaBombo]

Cool. And as a bonus, Gamecast started working again while I was watching...

You have to shop for it now

To be fair, it was a play that not every major leaguer would make every time. But he's not a gifted fielder, the play was not made, and I'm gonna gripe.

 

And now in the top of the inning Cola gets robbed by good defense (other side of the field, for those into symmetry).

[Paul Pleiss]

Ricky ticky TIME BOMB!

[Ultima Ratio]

Well, I won't. Seriously, why?

I think it's been established that Morgan is a loud mouth with no filter... But... I don't recall him not giving it 200 percent on the field... Maybe he has... I don't recall...

 

if that's the case... I'll take the clown.

[LaBombo]

Holding LaBombo responsible.

The ability to alter a destiny as certain as a Nolasco no-hitter...

 

Must...resist...letting incredible super-power...go to... my... head.
