Article: Game Thread: Twins v Orioles, 7/6 @ 7:10pm CT

[big dog]

 

Finally got 'round to looking it up.

Perkins and perhaps Dozier (if the online KC contingent doesn't weigh in) represent the Twins?

This feels like a conspiracy to deny KC players adequate rest over the break...

I will vote for Dozier.  However, 36 14-year-old KC hackers are going to vote 42 million times, so maybe I'll just spend the day at work, working.  For a change.

Oh, i meant to say that i must be a natural left fielder, as the bit of Jim Post i listened to whilst awaitin' the game was satisfyin'.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

... working.  For a change.

If you're gonna work, working for a change is the right way to do it.

[David HK]

Oh, hello there.  Just happened by, and so good to see it's a combined argument/abuse/game/blame the bullpen thread.    Saves time, eh?

  That's what Obama said.

No, it doesn't. You stupid git. Score is 2-2, CBU. I blame (quickly checks the box score) Duensing, no wait, Fien.

[Danchat]

Perkins needs to pitch the 9th here. Please don't send out Thompson or Boyer...!

Once Perkins throws in the 9th, then you can release the clowns in the 10th, if we get there.

[Craig Arko]

Here's a Post game treat.

  Perkins gives up runs when he doesn't have the lead.

[David HK]

I think you checked all the boxes succinctly, and eloquently at that.   Hats off, gentlemen!  (name that ref.)

[Puckett34]

So...today is ok to bring in Perkins in a tie game?  I know he pitched on Saturday, but c'mon, he threw 14 pitches.

[Gibby]

Hardy looked like Arcia on that one.

We'll soon see.

anti-jinx?

[Danchat]

Thank you, Coach Molitor. That was the right time to use Perkins.

[Gibby]

Plouffe is going to step up.

[big dog]

Way to go Perk!  Let's end this thing.

Home game versus being on the road. You may disagree with the strategy. But it's not random.

 

Let's see what Buck does in the bottom of the 9th, assuming Perk holds them.

[Gibby]

 Naw, I was just going by the last time I saw him come in the 8th and gave up a 2 run homer.

[SwainZag]

This feels like an ample time foe Sano's first HR.....

[stringer bell]

Can't get a save as the home team.

[David HK]

OK, Tommy Hunter-  The O's answer to Boyer.  Let's light this guy up.  Revive that moribund offence.

And he does not go with Britton.

talk about statistically significant sample size

[nicksaviking]

Perkins gives up runs when he doesn't have the lead.

I think you have Perkins confused with everyone in the bullpen.

[ashbury]

Let's see what Buck does in the bottom of the 9th

Tommy Hunter. Not closer Zach Britton.

 

Standard 2015 strategy.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I think you have Perkins confused with everyone else in the bullpen.

ftfy

[GCTF]

Pinch running for Sano is dumb.

[ashbury]

This feels like an ample time foe Sano's first HR.....

Apparently Hunter felt likewise, and took steps to avert it.

[Jham]

I would bet on Sano in a foot race with Nunez if you gave me 6/5 odds.
