Game Thread: Twins v Tigers, 9/16 @ 7:10pm CT

[USAFChief]

Was Pinto catching?

No, but he WAS in the ballpark.

 

This $#!( didn't happen when he was in Rochester.  I'm not sayin...I'm just sayin.

Glen Perkins is bringing back memories of Ron Davis circa 1983.

 

If it were possible to give a low blow, to a low blow, you've found a way.

[D. Hocking]

I have to think something is still up with Perkin's neck, but it is not like a Twins pitcher would keep going out with a nagging injury before finally going on the DL or getting a correct diagnosis.

[USAFChief]

Nice decision by the center fielder.  

[GCTF]

Not Hunter, but, close enough.

[Riverbrian]

Yeah... I just threw a rock at the street lamp.

AND I MISSED!!!

[Platoon]

We don't run for Plouffie?

[GCTF]

If he starts wearing those ugly glasses, I'm outta here.

[ScrapTheNickname]

OK, now we just need to beat Nathan.

 

Boos cascading down on Perkins.  Can't say I blame them.

Not a smattering of boos.

[big dog]

Joe Nathan reminds me of Glen Perkins circa 2014.

[Platoon]

We don't run for Plouffie?

Whoops we did

[GCTF]

getting a correct diagnosis.

Good luck with that.

[ScrapTheNickname]

OK, looking for a big ninth.

 

Ideally, we hit a line drive that Hunter misplays into an inside the park HR.  That seems fair.

That dive reminded me of Hunters fiasco dive in the playoffs some years back.

[USAFChief]

We don't run for Plouffie?

I know Plouffsie isn't the fastest guy, but do we really need to pinch run for him while he's on the bench?

 

[USAFChief]

I'm making a call.  Walk off balk.

[big dog]

If Hicks gets a hit here, I'm buying everyone in the room a beer.

 

That would be me, my wife who doesn't drink beer, my dog, who's a lush, and the cat, who can share with the dog.

Was hoping no one saw that.... Or would have the common decency to overlook it.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Haha Ausmus moves his perfectly good veteran center fielder Rajai Davis into a corner outfield spot in favor of a young guy in center who spent most of the year in the minors.

 

Who coulda thunk anything bad might happen

 

Gardy > Ausmus

Those snacks in the clubhouse won't get to the dugout on their own.

[GCTF]

I'm making a call.  Walk off balk.

It's our only hope. THREE and 2.

[Riverbrian]

Cue Chief!!!

[Willihammer]

Nathan sucks

 

Go Twins!

[USAFChief]

Winnah!

[GCTF]

Glen Perkins, winning pitcher.

[Physics Guy]

Walk off ....IF hit.  What an ending....?

[Platoon]

Who' d a thunk it.... AND WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT!!

[USAFChief]

I seriously thought about calling a walk off infield hit, too.  

[stringer bell]

"Winning Pitcher" Glen Perkins.

 

Physics Guy beat me to it, but I did you the quotes.

[GCTF]

I like this.

I just love to see Ausmus fail, I don't know why.
