Game Thread: Twins v Mariners, 5/16 @ 7:10pm CT

[LaBombo]

I'm a big fan of Ed Wood.

Am sure it's possible to see the movie and not be, but have no idea how..

[LaBombo]

A hand grenade play like that is about 10x more likely to turn into an out than an error, but leave it to Dozie to beat the odds again...

[LaBombo]

With Plouffe I'm pleased thus far... And it's hard for me because he was really disappointing me for awhile.

I'm pleased thus far, and it's easy for me because of how disappointing he was for forever, minus The Month. He's a great reminder that even in the age of advanced metrics, player evaluation is still like a box of chocolates.

Been a while since i saw the movie. Meant to go and watch Plan 9 afterwards with folk willing to shout things like "day... night", but never got 'round to it...

 

Thanks for the reminder!

Sometimes a player stops doing stuff that has been hurting himself. When that happens the Metrics change quickly.

Mmmm! Chocolates!

 

Glad to see a player turn out to be "Spring surprise"

[LaBombo]

Kelly mentions that Houston leads the league in defensive shifts. Intro for Joe Morgan to jump in and mention where the Astros are in the standings?

 

Please please please!

I love watching the younger players ... it's what we've been waiting for.

Rizzo Rizzo... Is all I have to say.. Just lay it down

[Twins Twerp]

I am so jacked to see twins. I am getting married and spending my honeymoon at target field on june 30...july 1 and 2. How dare that couple steal my thunder?

Congrats to you...

 

I assume you've received all the warnings from Married guys and decided to continue on any way.

 

Good for you

[Riverbrian]

Cano's wallet is too heavy. It's reduced him to warning track power.

[Craig Arko]

Cano's wallet is too heavy. It's reduced him to warning track power.

 

I'd settle for warning track power.

[Riverbrian]

Well... I gotta go Chaperone a dance.

 

I don't speak french so I'm not sure what my duty is exactly.

Yeah, but chicks dig the thick wallet...

[Twins Twerp]

Twerking=not good

Bring a good book... My internal spell check says there's a t missing, and you should be able to get through the first chapter if nothing goes wrong.

[Craig Arko]

Well... I gotta go Chaperone a dance.

 

I don't speak french so I'm not sure what my duty is exactly.

 

Same as it is here.

[Tibs]

Wow. Dozier and that high pitch

[JB_Iowa]

HR/Doubles ratio looks better again.

[Craig Arko]

Dozier = 40/40? Ok, probably not.

[Tibs]

#VoteDozier #AllStarGame2014

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Was that a double-double in one hit from Dozier?

 

4-1...

[VATwinsFan]

Dozier duz it again.

[LaBombo]

Well... I gotta go Chaperone a dance.

 

I don't speak french so I'm not sure what my duty is exactly.

 

Use universal sign language if need be...http://10000mansteps.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/barfight-bmp.jpg

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I think the Twins are finally catching up to the 40mph pitching.

[LaBombo]

HR/Doubles ratio looks better again.

Dang! Late again! Knew I should've put the Christmas bonus money into an upgrade to a 56k modem instead of stockpiling Nishi rookie cards...

[Tibs]

Does Dozier actually have 10 home runs in the middle of May? Is this real life?

[stringer bell]

Young has managed to fool a number of teams. He hasn't fooled many Twins hitters.
