Game Thread: Twins @ O's 6:05 CDT

[big dog]

Hang on- didn't Mauer just pull a home run on the first pitch???  Did I just dream that?

[Squirrel]

Does anyone know which sunglasses Joe was wearing for that one? They are magic!

[Foghorn Leghorn]

 

lulz

I was laugh when too when Mauer gets a hold of one like that, considering all the bashing he gets.

[big dog]

Let's go Hughsie!

[mlynch16]

Joe has looked solid these first few games, hitting the ball hard for the most part.  Maybe now that he can see the ball, he can turn it around.

[D. Hocking]

 

Mauer got a hold of that one

 

I am assuming Hosken was able to tell him these games matter.   Thanks Hosken!

[Foghorn Leghorn]

We owe him one

[Riverbrian]

Alright

 

The Twins will get my attention until 7:30

 

Then I got focus on the Frozen Four

 

Hopefully the Twins can get me a lead so I can turn away in confidence. 

 

I see Mauer has my back 

[stringer bell]

I've been defending Suzuki in another thread, but all things being equal, with Suzuki throwing instead of Joseph, Santana is safe at second.

[JJ1532]

Are they DHing Sano to get him going offensively and so that he isn't worrying about his fielding? Seems to be working.

Who are the Frozen Four?

Thanks ump

It was on a 2-0 count. Really geared up and took a nice cut; squared it up well. Great to see. Maybe turning a corner?

[Riverbrian]

 

Who are the Frozen Four?

 

Gordie Howe, Gord Downie, Gordon Jump and North

[kusko_andy]

I really hope they jump all over Jimenez the next few innings.  His stuff is feeble compared to a few years ago.

[Riverbrian]

For anybody who wanted speed in the outfield.

 

Tonight Works

[Zachary]

Good pitches from Phil to Manny *Mashada* sorry I meant Machado.

[DrNeau]

Hey now, Escobar. Crank one. 

[DrNeau]

Escobar slaps a single in the LF corner. Nice play by Reimold to hold him to 1B. 

[Squirrel]

Esco is my guy ... I like him!

[DrNeau]

JR Murphy up to bat for 1st AB as a Twin.

[Riverbrian]

I could be a Frozen one but no matter how cold it gets around here. 

 

North is usually just a little bit colder. 

 

Maybe a degree or a centipede colder. 

[Riverbrian]

Now I'm happy with the Hicks/Murphy trade

[James]

Man, I leave the thread to drive home and buy beer and Mauer hit a Homer while I'm in the liquor store.

 

I know, you're all going to tell me to go back to the liquor store, but I already asked, and they won't let me just hang out there.

[Squirrel]

The good thing about that spaghetti pie I made yesterday is that it makes great leftovers. And I made it in a Pyrex pie plate. Good thing it didn't explode in the oven on me ... right Bri?

[DrNeau]

Beauty! Murphy's hit hammered off of Davis' wrist then deflected under the tarp in foul territory. E-3. 

 

Buxton w/ an RBI ground out to SS. Murphy to 3B.

Don't forget GCTF. I think he's in Winterpeg, too ... or near there.

Then clearly you'll have to open your own.  Please liquidate any assets needed to make this happen post haste.  Also, we'll need to petition the state to allow liquor stores to be open on Sundays, and that will obviously need to happen in the next 53 hours.

Not to worry, we would never ask you for anything unreasonable.

 

No need to hang out at the liquor store.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just spend the next 3 hrs driving back and forth.

Is spaghetti pie just spaghetti in a crust?
