Game Thread: Twins vs Royals, 5/25/16 @ 12:10 PM CT

[Winston Smith]

Pitching, pitching, pitching.

 

The last five years with Terry putting the pitching staff together:

 

2012 last in the AL

2013 14 out of 15

2014 14 out of 15

2015 8 out of 15

2016 14 out of 15

 

Until he or someone else can fix the pitching there isn't much hope, imo.

[USAFChief]

 

Two great plays on one double play. Nunez with a nice spin-toss, then Park with a reach, then a good tag. These guys are battling. I do give them credit for that. 

I don't know.

 

I still see a lot of tails out there.

Dick wants it so bad for Sano to make his prediction right... 

Ewww...

 

no, wait, what??

[twinsnorth49]

[jimbo92107]

Dang, when Sano gets that massive home run swing going, it doesn't leave much doubt. Does Sano hit any homers LESS than 400 feet?

[70charger]

And I left to go to the corner store and when I come back the Twins are winning.

 

I think I'm the team's curse (today anyway, I've watched like three games live all year).

[Circus Boy]

Entertaining game and thread. Thank you all!

[jimbo92107]

 

Dick got his wish!!!!!!!!!!

I write 'Dick got his wish,' and nobody bites on it. What gives?

We weren't sure who you were talking about.

[Aggies7]

if they blow this lead, the twins should be banished to Nicollet Park

How many dicks are there?

You'll have to narrow down the field of consideration.

I think it's a Little Cesar's now. Probably wouldn't help Sano's "attitude" very much.

I think Sano can still hit it over the log ride.

[Blake]

What, Duffey is still in the game? Molitor must really not trust the bullpen.

[Pardon My Dinger]

 

How many dicks are there?

How much time to you have?!

 

 

I will go quietly. 

[Winston Smith]

Would you?

[Blake]

 

Would you?

Word.

Do you trust the bullpen?  Perhaps the best thing he's done all season if that is the case.

[70charger]

Oh good, we get to play the Mariners when Felix Hernandez is pitching. Luckily we're countering him with the mighty Pat Dean.

[Blake]

 

How much time to you have?!

 

 

I will go quietly. 

Hah, Twinsnorth is still hanging around. And he said he'd show himself out. Well, okay, Twinsnorth probably got lost on his way out, so there's that.

[wsnydes]

So we have that going for us, which is nice.

I don't bite on Dick wishes.

 

I I don't want to know what they are.

[USAFChief]

Gladden, with literally no pause:  "2 down, runner on first, the pitch, runner not going there he goes..."

[rghrbek]

Zuke 3 k's, well that's what you get with a no hit all glove...wait, what are we getting with Zuke?

[Pardon My Dinger]

 

Gladden, with literally no pause:  "2 down, runner on first, the pitch, runner not going there he goes..."

Here's Gladden, thinking...thinking...now he's not thinking, and suddently he's talking!

[rghrbek]

Even KC's mop up guy in the bullpen has a 1.86 era.   Maybe we could get him for buxton and sano?

[wsnydes]

 

Zuke 3 k's, well that's what you get with a no hit all glove...wait, what are we getting with Zuke?

Apparently, 3 K's today.
