Bremer:   "Hermann the only left-handed pinch hit option on the bench, but also the least likely to pinch hit because he's the backup catcher"

 

Yes, Bremer, Molitor is really between a vapor and a mist now.   Tiny chance of pinch Hermann hit causing win vs. microbic chance of Hermann injury causing loss.

No one will convince me that if we had let Arcia alone in RF, that he would not have done better than Hunter. This is getting silly!

Do the Twins not realize Vanimal has been planning this thread for weeks?  You think  they would come through for him if nothing else.

 

 

If you think planning went into today, tune in tomorrow for a special Sunday morning interview in the SCORCHING Hot Lounge......

Another one? What, is this website suddenly under the direction of CRTC Cancon regulations? I'm pretty sure my posts are more than enough to fill the quota.

Just remember,  Minnesota is Canada's last line of defense against Moondance Jam...

Tell me Van Zant isn't the byproduct of his cousins from that photo?

 

Rest his soul.

ANNND Welcome! To Minnesota Twins Whine Line, GAME THREAD edition. I am your host for the next 2 days, Vanimal. Isn't it amazing how similar the Twins, and the TD owners operate? I mean, a CRUCIAL series against a 1st place Astros team, and they trust a ROOKIE to do game threads?! I'm more nervous than Tyler Duffey against the Blue Jays...

 

For those who aren't familiar with the program, I'm just your standard radio host for Minnesota Twins news, with a few weird quirks... For one, I've been recorded (Truman Show style) by Chief and diehard. How they got access to my apartment, car, and office is still Mind.Boggling. I was also duped by a Nigerian Prince, who I thought was Prince the Purple Rain MAGICIAN, and all of my money is gone. And finally, I am lead investigative reporter for Moderator-gate 2015.

 

Now before we start having fun with SCORCHING hot Twins takes, we need to get some garbage out of the way like lineups and stuff. I personally have no interest, so I'm letting my intern get his first crack at talking on the big stage while I prepare a Mimosa. Intern, take it away.......

 

Umm hi? The weather's going to be nice. Sunny. 79 degrees.

 

TWINS Lineup:

 

2B: Brian Dozier

SS: Eduardo Escobar

1B: Joe Mauer

DH: Miguel Sano

3B: Trevor Plouffe

LF: Eddie Rosario

RF: Torii Hunter

C: Kurt Suzuki

CF: Byron Buxton

 

 

 

P - Mike Pelfrey ® 72 overall on MLB the Show!

 

ASTROS Lineup:

 

 

2B: Jose Altuve

SS: Marwin Gonzalez

DH: Evan Gattis

RF: Colby Rasmus

CF: Carlos Gomez

3B: Jed Lowrie

1B: Luis Valbuena

C: Hank Conger

LF: Jake Marisnick

 

P - Mike Fiers ® He just came off a no-hitter!

 

And that's why we pay the intern the BIG bucks! And now, let's move on to our HOT Takes of the day:

 

- Byron Buxton's struggles: since his last recall, he's slashed 237/.256/.289 over the last week.It's quite difficult to keep track of all the hot takes out there with Buxton. Is he really that good? Should we have traded him away? Will be be a AAA player forever? I'm hear to tell you a different solution. Something that only DEEP insiders in the MLB know..... The batter walk-up song is KEY for a player's success. Look at Josh Reddick as an example:

Buxton needs a new walk-up song to feel SEXY, confident, and hit SEXY HR's.

 

- Ervin Santana's struggles. How can we pinpoint where his struggles are coming from? So many hot takes out there... he's just not the same pitcher.... he's a PED user..... he's old.... forget all of that. The biggest difference between his best year as a pitcher and this year? HIS HAIR. Take a look for yourself. The first picture is when he was with the Royals:

VERY Manageable, short dreadlocks. Compared to today:

Dreads down to his shoulders!! We've gone through all other alternatives as to why Ervin's not good this year. Could it be as simple as getting a HAIRCUT?

 

- Happy birthday Kennys! He turns 25 on September 1st, but ALL people in the mid-20's celebrate their birthdays on the weekends. Now I'm sure you're thinking, Vanimal, Vargas isn't on the 25 man roster. You may be right, but he still wants to hang out with his friends. And who on the Twins has spent the most time with him? MIGUEL SANO! Could that be why he had the day off yesterday?? Too much fun at Bar Louie?

 

- The Great MN State Get-Together! If I were in Minnesota instead of Texas, you would be hearing all of this LIVE near a State Fair trash can in an inaugural Twins Whine Line LIVE edition. Instead, now all I can do is wait for the TEXAS State Fair, and see pictures of the NEW FOOD available up north. If I were up there, I would be crushing Maple Bacon funnel cake, Limerick Stix, Smokey's Breakfast Burger, along with the standard fair grub Pronto Pups, Cheese Curds, and SWEET MARTHA'S cookies... Keep us all informed of your state fair grub experience!!

hi.... Ummm.... Long time listener, first time caller... I have a question... Pelfrey stinks!.... Another question.... I agree with your take on fair food, delicious and multitask-able... Perfect combination with beer

Whine Line regulars role call: mike, diehard, Jdude, BARK, are you here?

Sorry Van. I was thrust into a covert mission where I was deployed to the State Fair Grounds to save some Pronto Pups, Cheese Curds and Pita Pocket sandwiches from not being eaten. I also rescued an undetermined amount of beers from a similar fate.

 

Whine Line Game Thread Stylie was a smashing success! No arguments can be made to state otherwise.

 

Kick Ass job!!!
