Game Thread: Rangers@Twins 5/27 7:10PM

That guy needs to get back to AAA to learn how to play CF

It was a spectacular catch... Why not enjoy it and leave it at that? To my knowledge, nobody has said his defense warrants a demotion. It's mostly people saying his defense has been inconsistent, with web gems like that one, followed by routes on balls over his head that resemble a man attempting to evade a drone strike.

Arcia steps up.

It was a spectacular catch... Why not enjoy it and leave it at that? To my knowledge, nobody has said his defense alone warrants a demotion. It's mostly people saying his defense has been inconsistent, with web gems like that one, followed by routes on balls over his head that resemble a man attempting to evade a drone strike.

 

Because that's not how snark works?

[MichiganTwins]

Welp. Who comes up for Parmalee this time?

[MichiganTwins]

I just saw that Yu Darvish has been pulled from the start tonight because of a stiff neck.

 

I'm not going to re-write the Game Thread Set up because that would be a pain in my neck.

 

For the good of the team! I like it

[stringer bell]

Had to laugh at mlb gameday. The pitch by pitch said that Hughes was throwing a knuckle curve.

[stringer bell]

Adjustments? First pitch swing and pulled.

My Snarcasm™ meter had it at just 15% snark, vs 85% sarcasm.

[Riverbrian]

Did you visit the Hobo House?

 

No... I didn't... but... every house I go in... Naturally turns into one.

 

BTW... I have been to the Hobo... And I highly endorse it.

Mauer swings at first pitch fastball in RBI situation, pulls line drive double into RF corner.

 

Coincidence?

I do not know the difference between the two.

• Rhett Bollinger ‏@RhettBollinger 15m
  Sam Fuld (concussion) has yet to start baseball activities. He hasn't had three good days in a row yet. He's had two but not three
   
  Does this seem a little frightening to anyone else? The fact that they only need to have 3 good days in a row?
   
  
  
  • Rhett Bollinger ‏@RhettBollinger 19m
    Twins top prospect Byron Buxton remains in a holding pattern with his wrist. Still just resting it, per asst GM Rob Antony.
     
    ​On and on and on and on .....
    

   

   

   

   

 

Thank you for these Tweet updates... Keeping on tweeting.

I swear Mauer could be a real force again if he started to jump on that first pitch.

glunn, snepp... Very clever, but not falling for it. Good try, but clearly...

Ok.. I'm caught up... 2-2 tie... Baker vs. Hughes and I'm wearing Sunglasses.

[amjgt]

Hughes spins the ol' knuckle curve for a K

[Beezer07]

Hughes getting hit hard tonight. Makes me sad emoticon

[amjgt]

I'm sure this has been covered before, but yesterday it was new to me....

 

In Joe Mauer's "fun fact" when he's up to bat, it says that if he wasn't a baseball player, he'd be a carpenter.

 

Surely he's just having fun with us, right?

[LaBombo]

Had to laugh at mlb gameday. The pitch by pitch said that Hughes was throwing a knuckle curve.

 

Never having pitched at any level other than in BP to guys in need of confidence, identifying pitch type has remained largely a mystery to me well into the slow-mo/sabre/internet era.

 

But that strikes me as one of those 'room for improvement' moments...

[Riverbrian]

I'm not sure what to make of this but... It's kinda funny... I type a game set up and get 2 likes.

 

Later on I type that I'm not going to write another one and I get 7 likes.

 

The TD'ers are trying to tell me something but I'm not sure what it is.

His company would have to be OBP Builders.

[longstrangetrip]

Hmmm, if he were a carpenter, would his wife had married him anyway? Would she have had his babies?

And would she marry him anyway?

 

strangetrip and I were on the same wavelength but he beat me. I lose
