Game Thread: Twins vs Orioles, 5/11/16 @ 12:10 PM CT

[Winston Smith]

That new Hughes contract for 3 yrs at 13+ mill starting next year looks like it could be Terry's worst yet.

[Riverbrian]

When the Twins started 0-9

 

I was thinking... OK... No Problem... One big winning streak and we are back in this thing.

 

Today... I'm thinking... That big winning streak is going to have to be Kevin Bacon Esque.

[Danchat]

Oh my, that Arcia leg-kick to Santana was pretty fantastic.

 

I'll keep watching games if I can see more plays like that.

[DiscGolfer]

wouldn't it be nice to see the Twins come back and put up some runs here in the bottom of the inning..

 

and here's Sano!!

They just need to go 7-3, 7-3, 7-3, and 7-3 over the next quarter of the season.  That'll get 'em back to .500

 

Then 7-3, 7-3, 7-3, and 7-3 over the quarter after that, and they're solidly in contention for the ALC.

Despite multiple nominees for the "honor"... the Arcia game-losing reverse bicycle kick is my season of futility OF highlight/lowlight thus far. (And I emphasize thus far, so many more muffing chances before 2016 is finally put to bed).

indeed, the twins season is running parallel to a key scene in the simpson's movie.

 

bart: this is the worst day of my life.

 

homer: you mean the worst day of your life SO FAR.

[Riverbrian]

There ya go... Sano

 

That's why he makes the Big Money... Errr... Major League Minimum.

He needed that bomb

[DiscGolfer]

"waiting for one of them to take charge of the position"

 

I'd like to see anyone take charge of anything on this team

This is still the gold standard

[DiscGolfer]

Hey, the backup catcher got a hit!!

This is still the gold standard

nothing will ever top that play

[GCTF]

Well, it's settled...Centeno > 100 Murphys

This is still the gold standard

 

Yeah... but that was only in an exhibition game, so it doesn't count...

[Mike Sixel]

Another HR, another solo shot......

[Riverbrian]

I know this its controversial but I'm going to say it anyway. 

 

Velveeta Skillets don't hold a candle to Hamburger Helper. 

 

Hamburger Helper is the Gold Standard. 

[SirLoin]

 

He likely has what the medical community refers to as "Not a good pitcher" syndrome. Unfortunately "Not a good pitcher" syndrome has cost many a player a career, Shooter Hunt, Kyle Loshe and Sean Bergman to name a few.

 

Oh, so he just has a case of the Klingenbecks?

 

[DiscGolfer]

With the rain this assures Hughes won't get more than 3 IP, I'm sure the delay is coming soon

[DiscGolfer]

Ok, now bring out the tarp so the Twins can get and extra inning without rain after the delay

[rghrbek]

Hughsie really humping it up...I've seen 90 mph, anyone seen higher?

[SirLoin]

 

With the rain this assures Hughes won't get more than 3 IP, I'm sure the delay is coming soon

 

It looks like it's going to just skirt Minneapolis based on the radar.

 

(Full disclosure....I'm following the radar because I have golf league later....)

[Aggies7]

The twins better drag a** so they don't play 5 full

Let the choir sing AMEN!

[Winston Smith]

This might as empty (fans) as Target field has been for a game.

[Riverbrian]

No Way... That Sano home run needs to count for my fantasy team. 

[HitInAPinch]

Hey, the boys are sure putting up a fight today     :shoot:

[Aggies7]
