Game Thread, Twins vs. White Sox, 5/2 @ 1:10pm CT

Is this the time when I can just start LOL at Nolasco?

At your peril. He's not out of the running for a Quality Start, by the 6 IP 3 ER standard.

[Hrbowski]

Got him!

[Squirrel]

Okay, Twins ... let's break open this game

[formerly33]

It's disgraceful to think that an independent site is more up-to-date on games than MLB itself.

Were's Bark?

[Squirrel]

And that's a good start ... good job, DanSan

[formerly33]

Hoot... yess!!!

[JB_Iowa]

Good for Danny -- double off the wall in the LF corner.  (CBU)

[ashbury]

Yup.

 

 

Jonny Quest absolutely spoke to my 10-year-old soul.

[formerly33]

Now, Hunter,

[Circus Boy]

 

Greetings from Bratislava. (For real.) I'm just checking in but headed out for some good beer later. Win Twins.

 

How are the brats there?

[Hrbowski]

Josh Willingham is in the booth!

[Hrbowski]

He says he misses baseball.

How are the brats there?

Let me guess again: serving spiked beer to unsuspecting tourists.

[Hrbowski]

Nolasco outpitched his opponent for once.

[ashbury]

Carlos Rodon. This could be interesting.

Johnny Quest was one of my favorites as a kid. Race Bannon is my avatar on Vikings Journal.

Particularly Twins baseball? And Happy 500 Posts and congratulations on making it to Chattanooga.

[Squirrel]

Cmon, Mauer ... welcome this rookie to the show

[Hrbowski]

Willingham says that the Royals are missing the veteran leadership he provided.

[formerly33]

Bases loaded in the bot 5th with 1 out and Plouffe, who already has 1 homer today, is approaching the plate. CBU.

I had to have someone explain to me why it was hilarious how Race and Jade would show up together in a way that surely pushed the censors' buttons for a kiddie show.

Yeah, and they're "peacefully" protesting to let everyone know.

[Hrbowski]

He says that Dozier brings character to the team.

[Hrbowski]

Nice job by Plouffe!

[formerly33]

Yes, siree!

[JB_Iowa]

This offense is starting to click.

[ashbury]

Plouffe comes through with a single for the lead!

 

Dickbert suggested Nolasco was done for the day, presumably from watching the bullpen, but if it's me I send him back out for the 6th to earn his pay as an innings-eating workhorse. He's not that close to the mythical 100-pitch limit yet. Challenge him to pitch with the lead.

Definitely.

Zuke get's his job done.
