Didn't Panda make that hit like 23 times last WS? WTF?

And miss the game thread??!?1?

Good point.

Is that your favorite word?

Olitor-May no ike-lay the ullpen-bay, either.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Molitor is really managing hard out there today - Perkins better be ready to come in to face Ortiz...

[Hrbowski]

Tonkin should be replaced Fien.

[USAFChief]

Tonkin, Tonkin, Tonkin.  You CANNOT walk Ramiriz there.

[Hrbowski]

Sigh...

[twinsnorth49]

That a boy Tonkin......just what we wanted.

[USAFChief]

Whew.  Did not like that matchup, at all.

[twinsnorth49]

3.....2........1..........................out.

 

Ninja edit.

[masterofnone]

 

Corey Provus is sooooo good on play-by-play.    He's brought real professionalism back to Twins radio.    Was a long drought since Herb left us...

I am a fan as well.  Also, am I the only one that wishes they would dump Gladden and move in Kris Atteberry?

Try again

Yes.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Whew. That was a shaky inning, but it's a zero in the boxscore...

[twinsnorth49]

 

Yes.

You're the smarter one obviously.

[formerly33]

 

You're the smarter one obviously.

Uh...no. No, I wouldn't say that.

[DaveW]

Hunter gets after balls pretty well with that fork being stuck so far in on him and everything.... :whacky028:

I wouldn't hate that move, but I would settle for just shifting duties so Gladden doesn't do any more solo innings of play by play.

 

I like Gladden just fine as the guy with fun anecdotes and baseball wisdom.

 

Atteberry and Provus are fun in the booth together, because they are both giant nerds for baseball.

[Vanimal46]

Well gentleman in less than an hour we might be tied for the division lead with the Royals. Baseball is a funny game that way... I would have lost a lot of money betting the under wins total at the beginning of this season.

[DaveW]

Glad they are giving Tonkin some high leverage work. He is our best chance internally at this point for a "shut down" 8th inning guy semi long term.

Why do the Twins uniforms on MLB GameCast STILL have pinstripes?  It's the end of May for cripe's sake!

I got them at 35:1 odds to win the Central (125:1 to win the world series)

I wonder what the odds will be if they tie the Royals today? Maybe 3:1?

That would work for me.  Gladden solo innings make me sad.

I almost mentioned that yesterday. And then of course the tickets out in center (that's where they are, right?) say 2015. You figure.

I wonder if it can make Hunter 29 again, too?

And now we know who to blame if we aren't.

Oh yeah!  Just noticed that!

[USAFChief]

Perk got 3 outs left in him, after that grueling outing yesterday?

You said that one other day but on that day I noticed that the Twins were indeed wearing unis with pinstripes (at least on TV) so maybe they haven't totally done away with them.

 

Edit:  Sorry, should have said "Somebody" instead of you.
