Game Thread: Twins vs Blue Jays, 5/20 @ 7:10 pm CT

On a related topic, I don't suppose there's a Bryce Harper type coming along for the 2017 draft, is there? I got a feeling the Twins may have a very high draft pick a year from now. 

 

When a team's this bad, maybe the league should let them have the first five draft picks. Then in a few years they could at least be mediocre. 

 

Wait? What? How about that parade I was promised...?

[AlwaysinModeration]

I think Polanco has the potential to be a player on this team.

[jokin]

 

I agree with him. First step is removing him.

 

No. The first step was NOT rehiring him after the Smith debacle. It's DEFCON ONE step at this point in time.

[Blake]

Grossman-3 AB's, two RBI's.

 

Yep, definitely time to extend Grossman.

I can see a good running gag for a baseball comedy. One announcer keeps asking the other one, "Did you ever meet so-and-so?" The second announcer says, "Sure, great guy, how is he?" and then the first announcer says, "Well, he passed away today..." And do that over and over for the whole movie. 

 

Thanks for the idea, Dick.

Could you lay out a case that would convince Molly, please?

[Aggies7]

I think Polanco has the potential to be a player on this team.

He already is

Most teams break down in any one phase of the game -- offense, defense, pitching -- for an inning or two and recover. The Twins fail in all three phases so often that they are not competitive. The record for fewest wins in a season is 40 by the 1962 Mets. Unless something miraculous happens, I believe this team has a chance to break that handily.

I'm rooting for it! I hope we have the most loses this year so we get the #1 pick in 2017. But with our luck Atlanta will get it & we'll draft the next Adam Johnson. \m/

[Riverbrian]

It's tough to watch the losses but... honestly... if they can extend this losing streak awhile. 

 

The quicker Ryan and Molitor (they are joined at the hip according to Ryan in the Pioneer Press Today) start giving playing time to players like Polanco while they are in a Twins uniform. 

[operation mindcrime]

Dozier is the epitome of clutch! \m/

[Aggies7]

Dick is demoted to the ambient soundtrack at Bombo Manor tonight.   How,  pray tell,  did he manage that tie-in?

Taylor Rogers is apparently from Littleton, Co. Didn't even go to columbine. Dick just thought he'd shoe horn it in.

[AlwaysinModeration]

He already is

No, I meant he has the potential to turn into a really good...oh, never mind.

[jimbo92107]

And Dozier tries to pull yet another outside pitch for an easy double play grounder.

[LaBombo]

 

And She's Fat and to quote Jackson Browne... That Girl Can Sing. 

 

In that kind of light
You could lose your sight
And believe there was something to win

[Pardon My Dinger]

Hey! Sorry I'm late guys. Everybody having a chill evening?

[Pardon My Dinger]

Geez. A beer bottle just flew out of my screen and broke my glasses.

[Aggies7]

And Dozier tries to pull yet another outside pitch for an easy double play grounder.

"Can you believe THAT GUY is NOT headed for Cincinnati?!"

 

Now I can, yes.

[Blake]

I wonder if Dozier has options left?

[Aggies7]

Hey! Sorry I'm late guys. Everybody having a chill evening?

Hey! Sorry I'm late guys. Everybody having a chill evening?

[curt1965]

I hope May has options. No way he should stay up with the club after this.

Trevor May's last 4 games:

 

3 Innings

8 Hits

10 Runs

4 HR's

 

P.S. If Polanco doesn't start for Dozier tomorrow-I quit!

[LaBombo]

Aaaaaand Barney takes Twins pitching deep.

High middle fastball tailing into the bat. If there's one pitch you must never, ever throw, that's it. Is Michael Tonkin just a little dim? 

[Aggies7]

Will we ever see marney get a Gatorade bath again?

You'd think a tubby overweight simpering tv character would have trouble getting around on the inside fastball. However, we are talking Twins pitching.

[Mr. Brooks]

In fairness to May, it should be quite clear by now that whatever is wrong with this organization is very contagious.

[Rigby]

 

I'm rooting for it! I hope we have the most loses this year so we get the #1 pick in 2017. But with our luck Atlanta will get it & we'll draft the next Adam Johnson. \m/

Or Ryan Mills or BJ Garbe or Jeff Bumgarner or.....

[AlwaysinModeration]

In fairness to May, it should be quite clear by now that whatever is wrong with this organization is very contagious.

I think May has a plan: to get demoted to AAA and then move into the rotation there.

[MileHighTwinsFan]

I wonder if Dozier has options left?

Two options. Revocable waivers or irrevocable waivers.

[Aggies7]

If Ryan were a forklift operator, this would sum up his job performance:

Or Ryan Mills or BJ Garbe or Jeff Bumgarner or.....

Or Byron buxton, or Jose berrios.

 

I kid, I kid.
