Game Thread: Twins @ Astros, 8/12 @ 7:10pm CT

[teekz]

The sad thing is, that home run may be his last pitch as a Twin.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Put a fork in Pino. He's done.

[LaBombo]

Kenny was robbed.

But at least not killed.

[teekz]

Wow. Way to stay with that ball

[Richie the Rally Goat]

But at lease not killed.

you bastard!

[Danchat]

I think we should see if Pino can hold down a spot in the bullpen, but we may have to wait until for September for that. At this point I'd rather see what Darnell could do with more starts than see Pino continue.

They will run out Nolasco, Hughes, Gibson, Milone and May for the rest of the year. No chance for the other guys unless someone gets injured

[rukavina]

McHugh has thrown less than 10 fastballs for strikes.

Ooh, I forgot about Nolasco. Yeah, he's definitely the one replacing Pino.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Trevor May in mop up duty... I'm torn...

[LaBombo]

Morris says the Twins have a rash of inj... bad things happening?

 

Still preferring him to Bert. That's getting closer to preferring Reboulet over Punto than I care to admit.

He's listed as the probable pitcher on Friday yet. I hope he still gets to make that start. I got tix for Friday.

Now you did it. I'm pretty sure Jeff posts here.

[USAFChief]

I expected to see May throwing harder than 91-92.

Don't say anything, and you can probably avoid the DL.

Morris has been pretty good this year. I've been impressed. I think the year in Toronto did him some good.

[GCTF]

Anderson.

[USAFChief]

Anderson.

Clearly.

[GCTF]

Career ERA lowered to 15.00. Baby steps.

[LaBombo]

I have.  I'm sure they're down there somewhere.  Lemme take another look...

[LaBombo]

Anderson.

MMMister, or Allan?

[Circus Boy]

The worst part is, he thinks it's a good thing...

 

Martha is hawwwwwt.

[LaBombo]

Career ERA lowered to 15.00. Baby steps.

He's a sailor!

 

He's sailing!

 

He sails!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

but what happens if TR finds out I didn't say anything? I'm not good enough for scholarship

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Martha is hawwwwwt.

still worried

[LaBombo]

McHugh has thrown less than 10 fastballs for strikes.

Incredible accuracy given the absence of his service dog, Mr. McBarker...

[Mr. Brooks]

Wow, after a couple of years in the system, insisting he is a starter. Then, a much earned promotion, and they move him to the bullpen because of ONE bad, admittedly really bad, start?

[LaBombo]

TD grant.  You've earned it.

[John Kelsey]

Not permanently

ehh, I don't think it's a demotion yet.. Probably more of a live bullpen session since he only got ~60 pitches in last night... But ominous, I'll give you that
