Game Thread: Twins @ Angels, 6/25 @ 9:05pm CT

[Riverbrian]

I thought Plouffe was going to be working out with the team this weekend with likely activation on Monday. He was never going to do a rehab assignment, so, if he comes back, then Esco moves to short. But yeah, still stuck with pflo as a backup.

 

Still... 3 days in Texas... Without Santana... No net at 4 positions... Santana will have to be DL'ed quick and the Twins may need to send a pitcher down to call up two players to fill in for Santana does.

[Squirrel]

Aren't they in Texas this weekend?

 

yeah ... but you also said it didn't look promising ... so that's what I was more commenting on as I thought he'd be activated after that.

ah, yeah, right ... ugh ... but let's wait to see if he's DL'd ... but likely will be 'day to day'

That was just a general modifier about the overall state of the team not specifically about Plouffe.

 

Sorry I wasn't clear.

I got it now. A bit tired tonight.

Well, I think your observation is a bit slanted is all.

 

And you have that right to your opinion. But my observation was a statement of facts, nothing more, last time I checked, my work desk is pretty level. Strange area to choose to be so argumentative.

Geez. Santana going down made my belly ache like a was 17 and dumped by a girlfriend. The 3 F's are not gonna cut. 1 is bad enough - offensively.

  And Gardy made it clear over the weekend he wanted another position player, but was not granted that request.
   
   
  So, 2-man bench tomorrow if Santana isn't recovered.

Are there Voo-doo priests available in the vicinity of New Britain?

 

Manager bio stuff says no, but there might be a player who could help...

Yep, that decision was probably made when the travel secretary related to the braintrust the cost of one-day purchase of airfare to LA.

My guess... Say Goodbye to Pino...

 

Who comes up for the Weekend... Bernier or Beresford?

[Squirrel]

Ish.

That 'ish' post was meant for Bark's post, but it could work for Bri's, too.

[curt1965]

Sounds like Nunez is headed for a rehab assignment.

 

Plouffe (not that he can do all of those) is scheduled to start "working out" with the team in Texas.

 

....not looking promising.

 

Doug Bernier, this may be your opportunity.

Nope-won't be Bernier. Polanco and Vargus only IF on 40 man roster

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Good recovery by Willingham.

 

Amongst the general carnage, one minor disaster averted doesn't seem so much...

 

Still, let's see if we can reenact last night's resurgence? At least a little?

[glunn]

Two early Angels' leads in two nights. And now Santana is injured. I would like a do over.

[Riverbrian]

Vargas is Superflous... Polanco is 21 and in A ball.

 

Someone would need to added to the 40 man and called up.

Chapters One through Four of the book about not hiring babysitters just from a Craigslist post.

[Riverbrian]

Ish.

 

I'm trying to remember JB's explanation... Ick was the worse of the two?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Beg to differ. I get notices when rotoworld and other services post the lineups. Almost invariably it's the other team first and if you scan across all the games that start during the same window that the Twins are in the Twins always are the last to post. Not a big deal, really, just an observation.

 

Yup. This goes back to the "Joe, how do you feel?" days of Gardy letting the inmates run the jail.

Hey Chi - you should be more kind to your fellow musicians.

 

I thought the "Daisy Dukes" brought the whole outfit together!

[JB_Iowa]

On the Beresford vs. Bernier question, I'm thinking they'll find a way to add Bernier just to hear the screams about adding a 34 year old.

It works for me when I Golf.

RB...going out on that limb, yet again? This one burst a whole lot faster than the 2013 Albers Bubble, didn't it, though?

 

And in answer to your second question---> DougB has the major league experience and acquitted himself well in last year's call-up. I just wish they'd just listened to me in the first place last weekend.

[curt1965]

Is left knee soreness worse than hammy problems?

[jokin]

On the Beresford vs. Bernier question, I'm thinking they'll find a way to add Bernier just to hear the screams about adding a 34 year old.

 

I think that move will put us over the top for oldest team in baseball.

[curt1965]

Gardy is going to be just hilarious in tonight's post game comments-as always...
