Game Thread: Twins @ Brewers, 4/21 @ 12:40pm CT

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

Crooked number time. Please.

[HitInAPinch]

 

1. That looked like a ball to me.

 

2. Sano showing some serious attitude there. Don't want that to come back and bite you.

It will...

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

The number is now crooked.

[70charger]

Hey, we're on the board!

[FunnyPenguin]

Somebody has got to stick a fork in John Ryan Murphy, just saying.

[USAFChief]

Wow...talk about a lack of respect for Murphy.  2 down, 2 on, 1st base open, pitcher due up next...and they pitch to him.

[Pardon My Dinger]

That's assault, brotha. 

[FunnyPenguin]

 

That's assault, brotha. 

I may have been speaking figuratively...

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hurry up and give back those runs so you can get off the field, Ricky.

[PopRiveter]

I hate a game thread that starts with news of Prince's death. 

 

This is no fun.

 

Uggh.

[Vanimal46]

Pour one out for our homey Prince, who died today in his home. He was 57 years old. Another music icon gone too soon... 

[70charger]

 

Hurry up and give back those runs so you can get off the field, Ricky.

 

I think he's taking you literally. Quick, send him another message.

[PopRiveter]

Ricky must be anxious about his impending plate appearance.

 

It's the only explanation for why his is looking so hittable.

[Blake]

Oh great, Bert just mentioned that Nolasco does not pitch particularly well at Miller Park. 12 ERA or some such.

 

Wow.

[70charger]

Limiting the damage.

 

Update after one complete: Twins up 2-1.

[mikeee]

Game will have to be a barn burner for ricky to get win #1

2 runs by the Twins is certainly a good start.

[PopRiveter]

 

Oh great, Bert just mentioned that Nolasco does not pitch particularly well at Miller Park. 12 ERA or some such.

 

Wow.

Bert had me at "Nolasco does not pitch particularly well"

[Pardon My Dinger]

 

I may have been speaking figuratively...

I may have been speaking Billy Madison-y...

[Blake]

 

Bert had me at "Nolasco does not pitch particularly well"

Yeah, but you have to admit, a 12 ERA is bad even by Nolasco standards.

[70charger]

Buxton still having trouble with that curveball, I see.

[Blake]

Nolasco hit that one a long way. He must have learned from those hitting his pitches. Although, Ricky kept his in the park.

[PopRiveter]

Agreed. He hits well enough. He doesn't need to see anymore demonstrations.

[Otto von Ballpark]

Uggh.

Fortunately, this should be the only time you have to experience that, at least in this universe.

[FunnyPenguin]

His fastball is barely getting 90 mph today, doesn't it usually tick along a bit better?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Only when he feels like it.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

I think he's taking you literally. Quick, send him another message.

 

Like out shopping, and then lunch?  Or is this more a Liam Neeson kind of situation.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Ricky mowing down hitters with sick heat.

[70charger]

 

Like out shopping, and then lunch?  Or is this more a Liam Neeson kind of situation.

 

Do I get to choose?

 

 

 

 

 

 

...Neeson

[Pardon My Dinger]

Uggh.

The doves...they are crying. 

[Pardon My Dinger]

Is Mauer ever going to have to swing again? Such a waste of a beautiful swing.
