Game Thread: Twins @ Padres, 5/21 @ 8:10pm CT

[MNGap]

That right field ball girl has been doing a great job

[Riverbrian]

Not me, just got in from coaching little league, it would only be the 2nd or 3rd inning for a 9:10 start and now I'm late to the damn party and didn't bring the beer!

 

Yeah... I had to coach tonight as well. I told my team to ten run the other team so I could get home quicker and they did.

[MichiganTwins]

Seems like Fien is coming in for the 8th on the radio

[big dog]

Plouffe, there it is! Second deck!

[Riverbrian]

​plouffe

[MileHigh_Jake]

Bomb

[MichiganTwins]

Why the hell did Mauer not walk? He has to know PLouffe was gonna hit a homer.

[Gibby]

oh yes I think he goes out for eighth,

 

…and I'd love to see a complete game shutout…

 

I wish, but they were congratulating him in the dugout, so I think he's done.

[Squirrel]

Wow, nice play there

[twinsnorth49]

Take that mustachio man!!!

 

PLOUFFEED!!!!!

[LaBombo]

Where did that come from?

Parm may have pre maturely rounded on that one

[twinsnorth49]

Parm got caught gawking there, shouldn't have been close.

[Riverbrian]

Milt Thayer reminds me of Mike Marshall back when he pitched most nights for

Gene Mauch.

 

Dead Ringer... You are right. You have a great eye for spotting Mike Marshall look a likes.

[Gibby]

Parm may have pre maturely rounded on that one

 

That's what she said.

[stringer bell]

Nice baserunning Parm!

[MNGap]

That out was disappointing to me....

[Riverbrian]

She's gonna have a good UZR rating

Hughsie pulled himself out of a game earlier this month. I wonder why he wouldn't want a chance at the 9-inning shutout.

[MNGap]

Sorry I missed it, but what was Hughes pitch count before he came out?

[twinsnorth49]

94, this is going well.

[MileHigh_Jake]

That's what she said.

 

Nobody knows what it means, but its provocative

Don't you think it's because he is really trying to finesse this year.

 

And painting those corners gets harder when you tire. Not much room for error.

[LaBombo]

UZR...

or UZR/150?

[Riverbrian]

Look at Fien fist pumping.

 

Love it!!!

 

Twins are playing ball.

True

[stringer bell]

Bremer is doing his best to jinx the Twins. Fien and Dozier will have none of it.

[JB_Iowa]

But this is Berardino's explanation:

 

 

• Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 15m
  1-2-3 7th for Hughes. I've got him at 93 pitches. Smith-Headley-Alonso due up in the 8th. All have had good swings tonight. Should be it.
   
   
  

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I feel a couple of inside-the-parkers coming in the top of the 9th

[JB_Iowa]

• Dustin Morse ‏@Twins_morsecode 14m
  Over his last 6 starts (including tonight), Phil Hughes has posted a 1.60 ERA (39.1 IP, 7 ER) with 30 strikeouts & 1 walk! #MNTwins
   
   
  I didn't remember that a Twins pitcher's ERA could go that low (even though it is only over a 6 game span).
