Game Thread: Twins @ As, 5/31 9:05pm

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

and I keep asking myself, "why does Molitor keep bringing in his best relievers in games the Twins are losing?"

right on cue, Abad surrenders his first hit to a lefty this season. (I think that's the first one.)

 

And of course Molitor goes to the pen to bring in yet another relief pitcher in a game that's out of reach.

 

Is it 2017 yet?

[LaBombo]

When your former lefty specialist can't get a lefty out,   that's abad sign of things to come.

 

 

[jimbo92107]

Shame. Shame. Shame.

 

Game of Thrones joke.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

Well, ****

said it better than I

[twinssporto]

I can't believe how many hits the A's had tonight into the left center field gap.

It wasn't Abad pitch... If he would have thrown Abad Pitch... Things would have been fine.

Cats are don't mark time.

No,  but they'll be happy to mark your suitcase while you're packing if they're unhappy about having the old neighbor lady look after them for a week again.

Dozier with a quality at bat!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

line drive base hit Mauer.

 

He even knows when hitting a single is better than hitting a homer.

[LaBombo]

This is turning out to be an even more disappointing thing to stay up late for than that Halloween when I was seven and skipped trick or treating...

For an example of how tired I am. 

 

I just checked the Red Wings Box Score to find out how Buxton was doing.

 

How'd Kepler do?

[alskntwnsfn]

Oh Arcia...

[David HK]

So, let's see, Molly, I think maybe we'll bring in the lefty here, to pitch to a guy who's caught him his whole career in Oakland, and has seen and even called a few hundred pitches of his...  

 

What could possibly happen?

[operation mindcrime]

Nice to see us end the month on a high note!

[LaBombo]

Perfectly understandable mistake swing by Arcia on the high fastball.     In the heat of the moment,  anybody can forget they're not 8 feet tall.

Okay ... you made me laugh ... but not as much as Hoskin's comment about you taking pictures of your backyard at 2am

Who's to say that's not his real back yard?

At least they had the decency to lose it in 9 instead of making me think the Great Pumpkin was just about to rise up from left center in the 12th.

 

 

See you all later this afternoon.   Pleasant dreams.

[David HK]

Welp.  That's it then.

 

All that romanticism about old-time radio and such was lost on these guys tonight.

 

Ah, at least I got to share it with y'all.

 

How about we get a manager who doesn't put a couple of gigantic holes in key spots in the lineup, so that every time we do have a little rally, it gets quickly squelched? 

 

And how about leaving the kid who's learning and producing out there in NY right where he is, to groove some positive freakin' nerve synapses into his noggin, and not drag him back here to save this woebegone season?  

 

And how about... oh, never mind, you're all in bed by now, and I'm well behind on that presentation for Friday assembly.

Everyone needs a hobby.    One of mine just happens to be nocturnal photography.

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry,  couldn't resist.     I'm going to bed before I creep even myself out.

How'd Kepler do?

 

More solid work on the motion of planets.     Still dressing a bit silly though.

probably feels good to be danny valencia right about now.

[Reider]

Miguel Sano to the 15 day DL, Max Kepler recalled from AAA.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh yeah, i had a joke to tell about a kid playing poker with his parents...

They raised him.

 

Good night all.

A gorilla? A three yr old? A gorilla? A three yr old? I am a guy who feels bad about killing a mouse, but I could have shot that gorilla without any qualms. Felt bad, yes. But,remorse over decision, none!

Managing the worst team in baseball, like its the 7th game of the WS. Buddy B. Who is he? How did we get him? Why have we been stashing him in EST all these years?

Why wouldn't you use 5 relievers to pitch less than 4 innings last night (and three to pitch the last inning)?  It's not like a day game was scheduled the following day :-)

Wait, so were *you* the one who actually wasn't impressed with all the new food offerings at Target Field? Thought that they, shall we say, lacked a certain something?

In the 2 Buxton AB's I watched, he's better.   Word is Torii Hunter was sending  Buxton copies of his  River Dance DVD's to practice with.

I didn't get it either.  Does it have something to do with the F word?  That's where I was going with it.  I wasn't much of a musician.  

 

In the B Flat Chord.

 

The B Flat is the root

D is the third

F is the Fifth

 

If you... instead of playing an F... play an F# 

 

The chord is now called B Flat Augmented. (Bb+)

 

That explanation is the best I can do and probably wrong.
