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

 I believe they do have a free spot on the 40. 

Not any more. Berrios.

[USAFChief]

Mrs Chief tried something new for dinner tonight, nutella on some smoked fish.

 

I liked it, but it made me sick.  Salmonella I think, maybe.

[Bark's Lounge]

 

Agree, but Walker can't be any worse at contact than Eddie. Only problem with Palka is he isn't on the 40 man, although I believe they do have a free spot on the 40. 

Wait till Walker gets to the Bigs. He will make Eddie look like Tony Gwynn.

[USAFChief]

 

Let us also take the time to celebrate the fact that Nolasco's ERA sits sub-3.00.

RicKy NolasKo.

 Palka, I love the idea of seeing him up the bigs!

 

 

Me too.    Dude was awesome in Stripes.

Chief........bedtime.

Dinger, as fate would have it, I'm in the Edmonton airport having a pretzel.

 

Add it to your list.

Raptors beat the Pacers tonight, cue 27 hours of coverage and analysis on TSN with no hockey tonight.

[John Kelsey]

Welp, that embarrassing. 

 

On Santana's part for not running and on Molitor's part for that wasted challenge. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Lindor is a better shortstop than anyone.

 

Defensively... I'll take Simmons over him by a tish but I'm not happy with the thought of Lindor in a Cleveland Uniform for the next 6 years. 

[spinowner]

Danny Santana better never make that mistake again.

[twinsnorth49]

CBU anyone?

[Ultima Ratio]

More bad base running. WTF.  These guys make millions.

[ScrapTheNickname]

1) First inning challenge wasted.

2) Santana slows down going into third.

3) He's safe, but first inning challenge was wasted.

I hate the Raptors.

Twins baseball.

[TwinsBaseball]

Mauer! Forget that sluggish running, at least we still got runs.

[twinsnorth49]

That Lindor family makes good chocolate, I'll say that.

3) He's safe, but first inning challenge was wasted.

I think Uribe may have tagged Santana on the upper arm, but that play certainly would have made for an interesting challenge.

I hate the Raptors.

I hate the NBA, I win.

Sadly, I did not realize this was a "joke" at first and actually thought about fish with nutella and just the thought of that combo was not good for the stomach.  Although if you put it on a stick it would probably sell at the fair.

[Riverbrian]

 

Not sure about Escobar, but Ahmed, Seager, Hechavarria, Jose Iglesis.  Its truly the age of quality shortstops.

 

It's the Arm Strength. 

 

Arms out of this world... Throws that I didn't think were possible in my day are happening every game almost. 

 

Ozzie Smith and Brooks Robinson would struggle to compete with what is happening today on that side of the infield.

Probably? Who you kidding?

I get you... plus, Lindor brings good chocolate products to the table. It is really unfair. I hate Cleveland.

Strike what I just said. North beat me to the punch.

Of course you'd need to dip it in batter and deep-fry it.

to be fair, across the diamond throws in beer league are a 50/50 proposition though, depending on the inning.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

following on Gameday. I'm a big Arcia supporter but yeah, his strikeouts are so much more frustrating than other peoples, for some reason.
