Game Thread, Twins @ Royals, 9/9 @ 7:10 pm CT

Boyer looked like he was dodging gopher holes on the way to the mound.

What's with all this giving bases crap?  If we don't have a catcher that can throw anyone out, do we not a catcher, full stop?

It's not the answer to anything, but they could at least pitch out once a month or so, and give the other manager at least a moment's hesitation before he sends every GD runner in a close game.

I blame you.

Should have done the "Duensing's got this" reverse jinx eh?

 

Damn!

[LaBombo]

 

I think we are averaging about two pages per half inning on this game thread right now

Fangraphs scout wants to know how you scored on your driver's test and how your girlfriend rates on a 1-10 scale.

[amjgt]

Dick Bremer mad libs:

"Twins in a bit of a jam here in the (number above 5)th"

[Ultima Ratio]

 

WYF -- I just tuned in and we don't seem to care about baserunners.

It's a thing now -- apparently.

 

[formerly33]

ChiTown ... I'm ready for some TUMS.

[DaveW]

That HBP was Duensing best pitch of the night. Prevented the winning run by getting to third.

[drock2190]

 

Can someone please let Molitor know you can bring in your god damn ****ing closer in non god damn closing situations?

 

Have you watched Jepsen lately? He's barely skatting by

[mickeymental]

maybe if plouffe pinch hits for KC?

[David HK]

Omg.  Dunse, then Boyer.  Well, back to work.

 

At least I have Robert Frost to look forward to.

[USAFChief]

 

WYF -- 

OK, I give.

 

"When Yellowstone Flows?"

 

"Why you freak!"?

[Squirrel]

I'm turning to the Shawshank Redemption ... just at that spot where hope is a good thing ...

[DaveW]

Uh..... Give me jepsen on his worst day over Duensing and Boyer

Would Zuke even get the out with a perfectly executed pitch out?

[Blake]

Eh, runners on 1st, 2nd, 3rd...it's all just bases, right?

[LaBombo]

 

Boyer looked like he was dodging gopher holes on the way to the mound.

He's all right... dont' nobody worry 'bout he.

[amjgt]

Yost doing some over managin' by pinch running Gordon?

[glunn]

That play at 3B was not even close.

[amjgt]

Do they have 5 SB in the last 2 innings?

[Ultima Ratio]

 

OK, I give.

Watch your flank?

[Jerr]

 

ChiTown ... I'm ready for some TUMS.

Me? Ready for some Key Lime pie  

[Dr. Evil]

I think it is pretty self-explanatory

More like the pirate guy from Dodgeball.

This is my concern, dude.

[amjgt]

This defense worked great last time. Can Nunez cover short-second, please?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

This is why Rosario played infield in the minors...

[Gibby]

Nobody skatts like Torii on Victory Dance Party.

[mikeee]

pitch to contact

[DaveW]

Why not keep Rosario as one of two in the OF with his cannon?

[USAFChief]

Boyer almost forgot to look home.
