Game Thread Twins vs Blue Jays, 5/31, 1:10pm CT

[sampleSizeOfOne]

After 1, Twins 1, Jays 0

 

on a Dozier double, moved to 3rd on a Hunter fly and came in on a dropped fly from Mauer.

Thanks!

 

(I'm going to remember to look both ways before updating the circus boy...)

[Gibby]

 

  Oh for Gawds sake. I say give Boyer 5 innings.

[formerly33]

 

  I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I'm glad you saved your wife the trouble of cleaning a stain off your shirt.

[formerly33]

Oooh, Colo, I do love you so.....said me never.

[Hrbowski]

Sounds like TJ. Poor Stauffer...

[JB_Iowa]

 

Thanks!

Have at it.  I'll gladly cede the entire field to you today.  

 

Looks like Ricky will get another Mri or something.

[formerly33]

 

  Oh for Gawds sake. I say give Boyer 5 innings.

Now look what you've done.

[Hrbowski]

Tommy Milone is probably going to get a phone call soon.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I too am speculating who comes in...

 

I was kinda hoping it would be Graham, and Gameday confirmed it for me.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Tommy Milone is probably going to get a phone call soon.

Or at least the Rochester coaching staff, and he will feature prominently in the ensuing discussion...

[Twodogs]

 

Not sure, but I do know that it would be fun to be his wife.

Don't say stuff like that in prison.  Just letting you know.

[JB_Iowa]

So this is why Molitor was stashing J.R. in the bullpen.

[mnsportsgeek]

I don't mean to sound insensitive. I hope Ricky's injury isn't serious and it stinks that he had to leave early.

 

But did he really have to let the runner advance to 3rd before coming out?

[Puckett34]

Paging Tommy Milone.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Have at it.  I'll gladly cede the entire field to you today.  

 

Looks like Ricky will get another Mri or something.

Oh, sorry...

 

Ricky Nolasco had a twinge after a pitch, Molitor came out to see what's up. He threw a few trial pitches, then the game continued with two solid hits by the Blue Jays (including a Colabello hit that extends his streak to 11 games) and leaving runners at the corners in an outless inning.

 

Now Graham, our rule 5 draftee from Atlanta, is taking the mound for the damage control.

 

Satisfactory CBU?

[Gibby]

 

  Graham is built like an ick it ouse.

[Twodogs]

 

 

Tommy Milone is probably going to get a phone call soon.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, didn't Milone get sent down when Nolasco came back?

[Twodogs]

I really hope Nolasco doesn't need Tommy John, by the time he would come back it will be about the end of his contract.  Kinda like Pelf.

[USAFChief]

Really good decision by Plouffe, to come home for the out rather than try to turn two.  Ball wasn't hit hard enough to turn it.

[JB_Iowa]

Crud.

[mnsportsgeek]

Oh look, another error for Santana.

[twinsnorth49]

Have to get to Hutchinson in the next inning or two and make this a bullpen battle. The Jays pen is every bit as suspect as the Twins.

[USAFChief]

First things first, lets get out of this inning.

[formerly33]

 

Don't say stuff like that in prison.  Just letting you know.

Oh, sorry. I'm putting on my face of utmost penitence.

 

Oh, and hopefully I'll never have to say anything in prison.

[formerly33]

 

First things first, lets get out of this inning.

Your word is their command.

[JB_Iowa]

Whew.....

[twinsnorth49]

^{That could have been much worse....whew!}

[USAFChief]

OK.  Could'a been worse.

 

Graham did a nice job, all in all.  1st and 3rd, no outs, he was a weak flare from getting out of the inning.

 

 

We got this.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

First things first, lets get out of this inning.

Done and done.

 

But a bases loaded 2 out looper scores 2 to give the Blue Jays a 2-1 CBU through half of 2 innings.

[Gibby]

 

  Crap, my dirt is here. I gotta go move 2 pallets of limestone now.
