Game Thread: Infield Roller Edition Yankees@Twins, 5:10 PM PST (7:10 PM CST),

[LaBombo]

Roy Smalley inanity update:

 

"Santana's return gives Paul Molitor four outfielders who are good both defensively and offensively that he can move around in the field and in the batting order".

 

Well, that's a relief.

 

Next up: what to do with the Twins' overabundance of top-of-the-rotation starters...

[FunnyPenguin]

Any Idea what time the game might start?

Hopefully next april

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Sometimes I wonder if the Twins should just start the damn game and worry about the rain when it actually comes, or if it comes at all as was the case earlier this season.

 

Might be a competitive advantage to have the storm come in the 3rd or 4th anyway tonight.

All about the managers not wanting to burn a pitcher

As a Twins Fan, this video just spoke to me. Brought a tear to my eye, it did.

It's the Twins call when to start the game. So then we let the Yankees burn Tanaka and we have an excuse to pull Dean before he faces the lineup the second time through

I'm just down the road a bit, looks ok to me...

I know!  Shades of Murder's Row.

 

Edit:  You got your wish!!!

Welp, I was wrong about the order, which frosts me.

 

In terms of a moniker, though, I think we can go with "Murderee's Row"

[Squirrel]

I read the PST in the thread title as PTSD and thought, yeah, I can see that with following this team.

[Squirrel]

So, watching a new series on HGTV. I still like the tiny house shows ... right, Vanimal? ... but this new series is kind of cool ... Container Homes ... about homes built out of huge shipping containers.

[Aggies7]

Last night I complained about not being able to watch the game due to blackout rules. Tonight I have the unfortunate experience of hearing the Yankees announcers, although I can watch the game at least.

[Aggies7]

Good start fellas!

[mikecgrimes]

The Twins must be on pace to contend for the record of most innings trailed in major league history.  It's gotta be 9 innings 10% of the time if not more.

[Aggies7]

Welp, that might be it for me...please fire someone, anyone.

[Winston Smith]

Should've waited a while longer I think.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The good news is we DO get to keep the 2 wins Arcia won for us on walk off hits this year.

[Aggies7]

The best part of this is that this is probably the weakest yankee clubs in 20+ years.

 

And they still take a big fat dump on the twins.

[Aggies7]

Kepler couldn't have played that ball any poorly. Dozier fielded it in deep right. God this is a disgrace

Arcia could have done that as well as Kepler.

I can get behind that moniker proudly.

[Aggies7]

And now dean doesn't cover!

[mikecgrimes]

Those should be unearned runs it's not the pitchers fault the pitcher forgot to cover first

[LaBombo]

 

Good start fellas!

I thought you meant it was good because they held them to 1 run in the first, but now I see that there aren't even any outs.

 

Why is this Twins season giving me the feeling that at any moment, Shaggie and Scoobie and the kids will pile out of the Mystery Machine, pull the Paul Molitor mask off of Jim Pohlad, and force him to reveal that he planned to run the Twins into the ground in order to activate the secret MLB 120 loss contraction clause so he could pocket the buyout money and flee the country...

 

... if it hadn't been been for those meddling kids!

PS That's a rhetorical question.

He let a double turn into a double.  At this point I applaud any effort to try to get an out.

[Aggies7]

It is an absolute disgrace that we are this far into the season, the team is not showing an ounce of improvement, and not ONE staff member has been fired. Well, aside from the drunk driving pitching coach. Disgraceful.

He wasn't fired, knowing this franchise they would bring him back next year even if they fired everyone else.

My apologies. I thought he was canned.

[Halsey Hall]

I flipped the channel quickly tonight!

Damn, and I had an answer prepared....
