Game Thread: Twins v White Sox, 6/19 @ 7:10pm CT (weather permitting)

[Guest USAFChief]

I've bought sandwiches and second guessed getting them.

New or used?

[twinsnorth49]

Or at least, a note.

 

Wink wink nudge nudge say no more say no more.

[Gibby]

I used to drive a 1967 Valiant if it makes you feel any better.

 

Damn I miss that car.

 

My long time sous chef drove a 67 Valiant for as long as I knew him. Dude was insanely introverted, but worked like a mule.

[Riverbrian]

Before the game, Colabello tweeted to many of his Rochester teammates for the rain to go away b/c they wanted to see Yohan deal.

 

I know there were those on TD who would have preferred to see someone else brought up ... but it's easy to overlook how great it must be for many of the journeymen in Rochester to see one of their own make his major league debut.

 

Has to be an inspiration.

 

Bingo... I always think about the players and how they must feel... At least. I try to... This game had to be about as big a day as it gets.

[snepp]

If Snepp or Bombo or Hammer were here... They'd find a photo or GIF for it.

 

Here's a car that couldn't Dodge a palm tree, good enough?

I don't think he's seen 90 all night, although with his change up his fastball probably looks about 95 to some guys.

 

Thanks, wonder why the discrepancy?

[Riverbrian]

I have been driving a Camaro convertible all week -- a rental. It's not easy to get in and out of it, but fun to drive. Because it's a rental, I have not hesitated to drive it like a rented mule.

 

Pino is a pleasant surprise. The Twins need to get him a run.

 

Dont forget to switch tires with your car before you take it back.

[70charger]

Yeah Pino looked great... Now what... I don't if the Twins were planning on keeping him... I'd be bummed if he didn't get another start.

 

I'd be okay with keeping him in a long relief role pending some more shuffling of the roster. Would seem a pity to send him down right away though.

[Riverbrian]

Everyone was saying 86-87 on the fastball dunno how accurate Gameday is but it was tracking 90-91?

 

I wasn't really watching the gun... His fastball had life and a quick little cut to it.

[ashbury]

Nope... The New model. And I love it.... It turned me Fiat.

The riddle of why Glunn's been driving a rental for a week...solved.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nice play by Suzuki on the bunt!

[glunn]

I wasn't really watching the gun... His fastball had life and a quick little cut to it.

 

He also seems to be good at changing speeds and hitting the corners.

[Guest USAFChief]

Top of the order. Let's get some run.

[Gibby]

Bert is going to mispronounce this pitchers name for as long as he is in there.

[JB_Iowa]

Well, you Minny-sotans are watching one of your own on the mound ... unfortunately its for the White Sox.

[ashbury]

Should we score a run here in the eighth and have Perkins go for the save, or just save it up for a walk-off?

[twinsnorth49]

Yeah, it does seem to jump out of his hand and it has some decent movement.

Coin flip, your call.

Yes.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yes!

[Gibby]

Dick is calling for the bunt.

[Riverbrian]

All those Moths... Are there Lights literally on the field?

[Guest USAFChief]

Yeah, it does seem to jump out of his hand and it has some decent movement.

Good downward plane, when thrown from that balance point.

[twinsnorth49]

Kid just keeps doing it, love it.

[glunn]

I vote for a score, then 10 insurance runs.

[Guest USAFChief]

Dick is calling for the bunt.

Yes, but that's no reason to call him names.

[Riverbrian]

He also seems to be good at changing speeds and hitting the corners.

 

And he trusted his change to throw it in tough counts.

 

I was very impressed and I'd like to see him throw again.

[Gibby]

Good downward plane, when thrown from that balance point.

 

Drink.

My vote. (And Derek's.)
