Article: Game Thread: Twins v Angels, 9/17 @ 7:10pm CT

[Ultima Ratio]

Does Molly not get a bonus for making the post season?  I don't get it, and I'm super serial.

[Aggies7]

That's gotta be the shortest time a team gained and lost a 5 run lead, right?

[DaveW]

The Wild will disappoint.

Only against Chicago. Other than that they are a fun team to watch.

[USAFChief]

Quick show of hands:  Who here thinks Mauer takes a HR swing at that 2-0 pitch if he was in the same position as Trout?

 

 

[LaBombo]

 

I'm calling shenanigans AND tiddlywinks on this game.

It might come to Traveshamockery before it's over...

Berrios wouldn't have served up that ****ing meatball. That's for sure

[Hrbowski]

Yeah, they are like the Twins against the Yankees back in the day.

[Ultima Ratio]

 

Don't worry.  I've got some 7th inning 'Get to da choppa' memes warming up already.

No lead is a safe lead.

Lead vaporized before we could "get" anywhere.

[DaveW]

Also isn't the point of having a 6 man rotation is that it allows you to bring in one of your starters in a situation like that? Instead of relying on a dude with a 5.50 era?

[Hrbowski]

 

Berrios wouldn't have served up that ****ing meatball. That's for sure

He gave up 12 homers in the minors.

[drock2190]

Well the good news is I was smart enough to pick up torii in fantasy

[DaveW]

Yeah, they are like the Twins against the Yankees the last 15 years .

 

Fixed it for ya

[LaBombo]

 

sigh ... I rolled one too soon.

fify.    But it's okay because in this case it's clearly medicinal.

He gave up 12 homers in the minors.

But not in one inning.

[Hrbowski]

Dozier needs some time off.

[DaveW]

Dozier sucks now. Move him to 9th in the lineup.

[Winston Smith]

Dozier sucks now. Move him to 9th in the lineup.

Can't he's on scholarship.

[Hrbowski]

Sano can't hit right now.

[DaveW]

Sano will be fine.

[Aggies7]

This team is brutal to watch right now.

[LaBombo]

Dozier   .205/.286/.359    in the second half.

 

That's not a slump.   That's an injury or a half-season's worth of unexplained terrible.

Sano will be fine.

Agreed 10000+%.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Radios!

[Hrbowski]

Achter is a little creep, he reminds me of a cross between Verlander and Rodgers.

[DaveW]

Why is Achter still in this ****ing game?

[formerly33]

 

Achter is a little creep, he reminds me of a cross between Verlander and Rodgers.

That word is beginning to suffer from verbal fatigue.

[LaBombo]

Dick:   "Achter had a tough time getting the Twins out of the second."

 

Yes, in much the same way that the Titanic had a tough time getting its passengers across the Atlantic.

Dozier sucks now. Move him to 9th in the lineup.

Twins have a logjam of guys that need to hit 9th. Dozier should get a couple games off to get his legs back. Play Nunez at 2nd for a couple. Nunez always looks great after a week on the bench.

[Hrbowski]

According to the Halos broadcast Santiago and Milone were ejected.

[LaBombo]

 

Why is Achter still in this ****ing game?

Because the logjam of quality starters is keeping him out of the rotation.
