Game Thread: Twins v Indians, 4/26 @ 7:10pm CT

[Aggies7]

I mean, Jepsen won yet.

It's all a part of his plan to rack up wins.

[Ultima Ratio]

Kevin Capps Jepsen is the winner, indeed?

Who's getting into a game first Meyer or Berrios?

I don't know, but we're 2-0 with Meyer on the roster, and only 1-0 with Berrios.

Third baseman with the walk off!!

Has an excellent ring to it.

[USAFChief]

Got a million bucks says it Berrios.

Call me old school, call me crazy, call me what you will.  But I've watched a lot of baseball over the years, and I've come to one irrefutable conclusion:

 

Winning beats the #**(# out of losing.

[Aggies7]

Hey, we're talking about a baseball game here. That perversion has no place on the site.

You took it there!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Atta boy Sano.

With a young team, I really like the "new hero every night" bit.

yeah I was getting tired of Arcia winning all these games

[Aggies7]

Anyone see this gem on YouTube? Really cool to see an old twins film:

Jepsen is now 2-3. Tragic.He might win 20 games yet...

[Bark's Lounge]

 

You took it there!

What do you mean. I didn't do nothing.

[David HK]

Chicken dinnah.

OK, for this one you get the sauce, too.  10 games gets you rice as well.  Let's keep going til we can get a drumstick.  

 

[Blake]

 

why?  And do you think they preferred to face Sano or was there a possible strategy behind that thinking?  With no outs or two out, maybe they don't do that.

 

It's a pick your poison situation really, because Mauer has been hitting well all year.

And that's why it made me laugh. It's nice to see the Twins do to others as others have done to them.

[David HK]

 

I'm happy with Jepsen now because that ended up being funner...

 

umm... funnest... funniest...

 

umm...

 

some multiple of fun I don't know. 

 

GO TWINS!!! 

funn-esque.

[Bark's Lounge]

 

Bark ... we need another walk-off call, please.

You were right kid.. it worked!

[USAFChief]

 

funn-esque.

Fun-ny.

 

Ha!  I KILL me!

[LaBombo]

 

Winning beats the #**(# out of losing.

 

Winning with a jogoff after a blown save takes Losing's   mom,   Dorothy Mantooth,    out for a seafood dinner and then never calls her again.

 

Or maybe it's   pronounced   'yogoff'.     Not sure if the J is soft.

Thanks! I hadn't seen it. It's great fun. I blame my lifelong fandom on that era of Twins baseball.

 

I learned that Frank Crosetti was the third base coach in 1970. He debuted in 1932. The historical links go way back.

The Twins actually have poison - Mauer, Sano, Park - for the first time in a long time!

[Squirrel]

 

I'd have thought that after being on the Mayflower, he was done with ships.  I heard that was a tough trip. 

Nah ... he was well seasoned after all those months on the Ark.

[Squirrel]

 

Quick, everyone google names of old ships to pile on with.

 

We'll wait.

Did anyone mention the Dokos? I still haven't gotten pastt p. 15.

[LaBombo]

Just think how awesome a starter would have to be to win 20 on a 54-win team.

 

Then imagine the infinite awesomeness of a reliever pulling off that feat!

Says the one living on the good ship Lollypop.

[twinsnorth49]

Uluburun.............hello?................................................................did we win?

[CampQ]

We won. And we now have a better record than the Astros.

[CampQ]

And also the Braves and the Padres.

[HitInAPinch]

 

Worth repeating.

3 times!!   In ONE game!!

 

 

[Blake]

 

We won yet.

I was just about to sacrifice you again and the Twins pulled it out.

 

Consider it a reprieve and not a commutation.

[USAFChief]

I just read this whole thing.

 

Lots of complaining about the winning pitcher.................
