Game Thread: Twins v Red Sox, 5/13 @ 7:10pm CT

[Intramural Legend]

Why is the Kubes batting cleanup again? I won't accept "because who else would bat there?" as an answer.

 

All of our other hitters are shortstops?

Winner

[big dog]

Kubes did a nice job of laying off pitches there.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Aaaaaaaaand Mauer's average is now over .300.

[twinsnorth49]

Not a SO, baby steps.

[twinsnorth49]

And Mauer's average is now over .300.

 

 

How'd that happen? You know with being washed up and all.

Is it Anderson's fault?

[Guest USAFChief]

All this talk of food is getting me hungry.

And all of our shortstops are now hitting.

 

I'll take that.

Can't help but notice he didn't drive in a run, though.

Probably Bill Smith's

Well it's certainly not NOT Anderson'sies fault

See inning 2

[Intramural Legend]

Not trying to jinx the team, but Plouffe's arm seems consistent over the last month or so

[Gibby]

And all of our shortstops are now hitting.

 

I'll take that.

 

I can see it. Gardenhire genius. Wins World Series, with handful of shortstops and 17 pitchers.

[Guest USAFChief]

See inning 2

What's he done for us lately?

[zchrz]

Sox broadcast going all little league world series, so I now know Xander Boagerts likes ribs and Jason Statham.

And all TD posters saw it coming and laughed at the sports media nay-sayers...

[Intramural Legend]

The Gardy nickname generator tells me that it is ANDSY, not Anderson'sies....

What about long walks and sunsets?

[Beezer07]

See inning 2

 

Well of COURSE he did it early in the game, when it doesn't matter as much (or something).

[Intramural Legend]

What about long walks and sunsets?

 

Everyone likes those

[Beezer07]

This game is setting up just how Gardy wants it. Lesser reliever in the 8th to face the best Red Sox hitters, Perk in the 9th for cleanup/save/make the ASG duty.

[Thegrin]

They're talking about Plouffe's improvement on TV. Wouldn't it be nice if Plouffe was playing so well when Sano is ready, that they won't know where to play him ? Will Vargas be ready to DH at the same time ? Where will Rosario play ? and HURRY UP BYRON BUXTON !!

Unless it's 9AM and the plank is short.

[zchrz]

The perfect first date, a stroll down Venice beach followed by some sloppy ribs and the Transporter.

Woah...one miracle at a time...

Kind of like games in April.

[Beezer07]

Well was kinda hoping I wasn't jinxing things.
