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

Down the leg.

 

 

Front and back.

 

[Gibby]

Thielbar's got this.

 

That's what she said.

Textbook example of why the 1972-1974 world champion Oakland A's would bring their best reliever into the game in the seventh inning when the other team was rallying.

 

I'm sure there's some good reason why saving him for a now non-existent save opportunity is good strategy. Or maybe it's a case of collective delusion, such as the need for speed at shortstop, instead of someone with good fielding statistics.

[twinsnorth49]

Thielbar's got this.

 

Told ya

[Intramural Legend]

No. But Gurrier has no business being on the team, much less pitching with the bases loaded. Leave Duensing in. Bring Thielbar in. Bring Swarzak in. Almost anything but Gurrier.

 

Guerrier clearly has no business being on this team. I have been a pretty big supporter of the Twins leadership group, but man they make it difficult!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thielbar's got this.

 

He does indeed.

[Gibby]

That's what she said.

 

And she was happy with the result.

How many of the Twins' 17 pitchers have a swing-and-miss pitch?

Sorry for my nativity but who that last team that did this on a consistent basis?

Not to mention the fact that the rug really pulled the room together.

[LaBombo]

I have no idea what any of this means.

Sorry, misspelled tattcasso; Tattoo + Picasso. Just coined it tonight, but check urban dictionary in a week or two, gonna be huge. And should have said 'album cover' instead of 'cover'. Beyond that, it is what it is.

We don't hang on to those guys.

[stringer bell]

Well, the pitch to AJ looked inside, but I thought Duensing had Ortiz struck out, maybe twice. I guess you don't call out a silver slugger on a borderline pitch.

[zchrz]

Ummm. Burton used to?

[glunn]

Not a good inning, but at least Nolasco gave us a chance.

Autocomplete, we love you. Merry Christmas!

Also, strikeouts = good sign.

[MNGap]

Yeah. yeah. I'm an hour ahead of you guys in Virginia. Just imagine watching this mess after an hour more beers. It's all that more depressing.

Are you still being served?

GLORM!!!

 

What's Shakin?

 

Now you type -- Rob Ford and the crack pipe he holds

[LaBombo]

[glunn]

Glorm's got this.

 

It would help if the Twins made better roster decisions, and Gardy made better bullpen decisions.

[twinsnorth49]

GLORM!!!

Please the man is in rehab so they took his crack pipe, he's mainlining.

[LaBombo]

I'm an hour ahead of you guys in Virginia.

Epically ironic autocomplete fail avoided.

[twinsnorth49]

Burton, what could go wrong?

[LaBombo]

Are you still being served?

 

No, feeling too sublime to try and test that...

[Riverbrian]

Yeah. yeah. I'm an hour ahead of you guys in Virginia. Just imagine watching this mess after an hour more beers. It's all that more depressing.

 

You should do better with that kind of head start.

 

Same reason... Chief and Glorm are always behind.

[Beezer07]

5th reliever in the last two innings...Twins better hope this doesn't go extras.
