Game Thread: Twins @ Red Sox, 6/16 @ 6:10pm CT

[JB_Iowa]

It's all my fault. Dozier is my "pick the stick" for this series .... and I was getting too big a lead.

[ashbury]

I thought Dozier was going to drive that one.

[Guest USAFChief]

csn?

Chicago Symphony-nude.

[Beezer07]

If Mauer was a better clubhouse leader, Arcia would be playing better and would not need a day off. Quit trying to blame Arcia for Mauer's lack of leadership.

 

This is very well done.

[stringer bell]

Dozier has easily been the Twins best player, but he was better last year in close and late situations.

[Gibby]

csn?

 

Crosby Stills and Nash.

He should probably stay at AAA so he can continue learning how to win.

[ashbury]

This is very well done.

 

It would have earned a ban in a normal thread. +1.

[WLFINN]

Of course he will hit one off the monster with the bases empty....that Mauer ugh

[ashbury]

So you're saying he was dogging it last year in normal situations?

Can he hit with runners in scoring position or get a big hit? This is what this team needs, guys who want to drive runs in.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Strike two call on Dozier was horrible. Literally at his shoulders. Changed the at bat.

[drock2190]

Burton sure seems to be in a lot of games lately.

 

Must be because hes pitching well.

He definitely got me at first. It helped to see that RB liked it, and that it was just too absurd to be real.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I've always HATED that about Dozier

[Squirrel]

Chicago Symphony-nude.

Oh right. Good thing I'm not working that one. But unfortunately one of my colleagues will. And now I want to stab my eyes over the image. Thanks a lot, Chief.

[LaBombo]

I intercepted a thrown fish at the Pike Place Market.

 

Well done. Whiffed on the flying sockeye in my zone when visiting there, but in my defence, Far Side genius Gary Larson was there and was pointed out to me simultaneously by a very close friend. The hit to my UZR/150 rating was well worth the briefly-raised eyebrow of a guy who bore a striking resemblance to Socrates 'Johnson' of Bill and Ted fame.

[longstrangetrip]

I'm going to be in your neck of the woods next month. I have a wedding and a CSN concert July 16.

 

Gibby, you're in for a treat. I saw David Crosby at the Trobadour last month, and he is healthy and never sounded better...he's down 50 pounds since his heart issues last fall. Hopefully they turn Stills' mike off, because he's so deaf now he doesn't know he's off key.

[Squirrel]

Crosby Stills and Nash.

Oh right. You mentioned this before I think. They are playing up at Ravinia?

  Odd handling. RT @ThisisGregs: @MikeBerardino just pulled him with 1 out in the 9th, 1 run in, 2 on, 120 pitches
   
   
  

[WLFINN]

They're not going to pinch run for him????????????

[Gibby]

I'm going to be in Glunn's neck of the woods July 5 and 6th to see my kid play against Brazil. It'll be the first time I've seen her in her USA jersey on American soil.

[LaBombo]

Oh right. Good thing I'm not working that one. But unfortunately one of my colleagues will. And now I want to stab my eyes over the image. Thanks a lot, Chief.

 

Whoa Whoa Whoa. No amateur surgery, please. There is a homeopathic remedy for this condition.... Hails from Scotchland, if memory serves.

[Guest USAFChief]

Burton sure seems to be in a lot of games lately.

Good call. According to BBRef, over the last 7 days coming into tonight he's limited hitters to a .792 OPS against, which is below his season total.

 

So, relatively speaking, he's been pitching well lately...

[Riverbrian]

Hopefully they turn Stills' mike off, because he's so deaf now he doesn't know he's off key.

 

Its getting to the point... Where he's no fun anymore.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I normally don't ask Joe to swing for the fences, but leading off the ninth, down a run, try swinging for The Pole, no?

[longstrangetrip]

Mauer leading off again. This is why he has so few rbi's this year, since it's mathematically impossible to get an RBI if you're leading off.

 

Unless...never mind

Clearly inconsistent.

[D. Hocking]

Be careful of the french horn player's fist.

 

I am not sure this comment was necessary.

I bet Glunn would love to watch that.
