Game Thread: Twin v Orioles, 7/8 @ 12:10pm CT

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oh, good. Now Perkins can pitch the ninth.

 

*eye roll*

[clank2000]

Oh, for the love of....

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

That sounds like a perfectly cromulent explanation for Herrmann's suckiness.

 

You're viewpoints have embiggened my knowledge sir.

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Twins need a sign for "twist your ankle walking back to the mound" to slow down the game so the bullpen can get going.

[Squirrel]

 

Oh, good. Now Perkins can pitch the ninth.

 

*eye roll*

He may have to pitch the 8th, too, at this rate.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Whew - they got Jones to pop out at least.

The good thing about back-to-back home runs is, the second one is always a solo.

[Squirrel]

Both Perk and Boyer are up ...

[Squirrel]

Cmon, Casey ... GET HIM! GET HIM!

[Squirrel]

That was deep ... but not deep enough ... Hicks catches out #2.

[jimbo92107]

Did you know that Eric Fryer not only shaves his head, he also waxes it so he can get the mask off quicker?

 

Fun fackt!

[clank2000]

Umm, I just wanted to point out that Fryers OPS is up to 1.750. Who's Barry Bonds?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Does Fien get frequent flier mileage for all that?

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

pinch hitting for the DH, eh Orioles?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Casey Fein allowed 1,200 feet worth of fly balls that inning.

[Squirrel]

Okay, the O's are done in the top of the 8th ... top of the order coming up for the Twins in the bottom.

[SwainZag]

I think I would be more upset about giving up a 2-run double to Fryer if I were the O's, than giving up back to back HR's to Machado and Davis.  Just sayin'

[jimbo92107]

Casey Fien knows exactly how many runs he's got to work with, and adjusts accordingly.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

And Fien gives one back to the O's ...

 

And someone in the stands yells 'Where's Boyer!'

You sure? I didn't hear anyone yell that

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Thanks for the excitement, Fien... just so ya know striking out the side is also exciting.

[Craig Arko]

Jeremy just made a very interesting post in the minor league forum; Kepler pulled from Chattanooga lineup.

[Squirrel]

heh, I was about to ask Brock if that was him.

[D. Hocking]

 

I have to call BS on that. No way does Paul Molitor allow smartphones in the dugout. No. Way.

 

Besides, Joe Mauer is a great athlete with professional coaching. What the heck does he need to read our gab for? My little league tips?

Molitor might not allow smart phones in the dug-out, but that would not mean Mauer is not sneaking his and using it while Paul is not looking.  They don't call him the ultimate rebel for nothing.

 

He also reads the threads, because he enjoys the occasional pop culture references.

[Brock Beauchamp]

heh, I was about to ask Brock if that was him.

I was the guy screaming to put in Tonkin.

[Squirrel]

 

I was the guy screaming to put in Tonkin.

lol ...

[Squirrel]

Deep out for Dozier ... Mauer's turn ...

[Squirrel]

Hmm ... Orioles are looking to trade Delmon for pitching ...

[jimbo92107]

Did you guys just see pitcher Hunter's face? I had to laugh. Dozier almost did it again.

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

Hmm ... Orioles are looking to trade Delmon for pitching ...

Arcia/Hunter/Young outfield.

 

Love it.
