Game Thread: Twins v Detroit, 5/1 @ 1:10pm CT

[Hrbowski]

The Tigers announcers are saying that Small Town USA was the reason Dozier did good.

Are we still mostly talking about baseball in a game thread? Where am I ?

Chief just used up his best joke ever in this thread. How can you expect him to turn around so quickly with another one?

We are and that's why there is no chance of keeping a crowd.

I missed the earlier joke. I should go back and read.

BS strike call to mauer

I'll do my best to help. I'm stuck inside due to sinus surgery last Thursday. Opiods have made leaving the couch difficult.

 

Did you sign anyone interesting during the Sign Us surgery?

It doesn't look like it bothered Mauer much.

[Aggies7]

Oh, Dick.

[Hrbowski]

HOME RUN!!

[Hrbowski]

[Danchat]

Mauer is putting this team on his back!

I'll take even the bad jokes at this point.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Damn Mauer!

[Aggies7]

Either way, Mauer is playing out of his gourd.

What's going on here. This thread should have !any more pages by now.

I just took a beer break from doing yard work and listen ending on the radio.

 

My question is, why are there six pages already?!?

Beer. That sounds delicious right now. I am jealous, sir.

Does the top of the green wall not count as a HR? I thought that was considered a HR.

He can recycle the developing Polaroids joke every game and I'd still laugh every time.

As is the fact that the pitching isn't are biggest problem.

Let us count the ways:

 

- Bad starters

- Disastrous relievers

- Almost zero clutch hitting

- Dozier forgot how to hit

- Rosario looks stupid at the plate

- Sano not looking scary anymore, except when he's playing right field

- Arcia looks as dumb as Rosario at the plate

- Suzuki's bat has a hole in it

- Murphy's bat... ditto

- Dicey gloves in the outfield

- Catchers can't throw out guys stealing

- Our own guys don't steal bases

 

On the plus side:

- Mauer's looking a lot better

- Nunez is hitting better than I've ever seen him

- Park is looking like a very good all around player

- Santana looks better, but his bat cooled off after the hammy pull

Any time an infielder boots one: that ball came up on him. Or he just missed it?

A bad joke is an oxymoron...

I woke up with an aching funny bone about a week ago. I had an MRI done on it, but they found nothing, so I'm having another one done on it on Monday.

Imagine that.. Talking baseball in a Game Day thread on a baseball forum during a baseball game.

Than you'd really hate to know this is my third beer break.

 

But you wouldn't hate it as much as my wife, so mums the word.

Your secret is safe with me. For now.

All I have is yuengling. I know it's a sin in my part of the world, but I've never been a big fan of it.

Arcia's soft serve to left.

[jimbo92107]

One little tip for Arcia: When you hold your bat out before the pitch, hold it on the SS side of the pitcher, not at the 2B. What he's doing now aligns his hip too open, making his hip fall off too much. This results in poor plate coverage on the outside corner, making him use an arm swing on outside pitches. 

 

He just got a little wrist-flip hit to the LF side, but if his hip is coiled, he could drive that same pitch to the fence, or over it. See Mauer, Joe, or Gonzalez, Adrian.

That's exactly how you learn to juggle. Keep doing it.
