Game Thread: Twins v Yankees, 6/18/16, 1:10 PM CST

Buxton could use hitting lessons from Nunez.

 

Wait, I said what ?

[Platoon]

Yeah... It' look great... I wear it every day. However it's making my head really sweaty.

 

Just think, by the end of the summer it will smell like the real thing! The hat, not your head.

[D. Hocking]

 

Well, at least he isn't blinding rays of sunshine like Aggies. I need sunglasses when he's on the game thread.

Ah  - so his over optimistic outlook was not just my imagination.

[stringer bell]

 

I know

 

The bobblehead was the reason the date was picked to attend. 

 

I'll have to be happy with my bomber hat. 

You did look good in the bomber hat!

[stringer bell]

Has Buck hit as many ground balls to the right side as Dozier? I really think Buxton could stand to watch Nuñez two-strike approach.

[spinowner]

3 outs, 8 pitches that inning. 76 pitches thru 6. 2 batters over the minimum. Gotta be someone who'll give us something worthwhile for him.

[HitInAPinch]

I was just thinking the same thing as Bert!

[Craig Arko]

Have the Game Threads been translated to Braille yet?

[diehardtwinsfan]

 

Don't know how or when it happened, but Ricky Nolasco is the only starter I have confidence in at this point. Subject to change, of course.

 

How many of us had money on that statement at the beginning of the year?

[Craig Arko]

That looked painful.

[jimbo92107]

Yikes, I hope Kepler is okay. Stepped on Pineda's foot and smashed into Pineda's big old butt, then went tumbling... BTW, that's the way you're supposed to roll out of a collision. Nice shoulder roll by Max.

[HitInAPinch]

Kepler's OK.  whew......

 

Not sure there are any places left for Twins to dig out another outfielder.  Mookie Wilson??

[HitInAPinch]

I'd trade Nolasco straight up for Pineda and Swarzak  

[Craig Arko]

Dance training. Or Aikido training.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Can they pull Arcia off of waivers?

[Squirrel]

Okay, let's put some padding on!

[Squirrel]

Well, not like that ...

[jimbo92107]

Dance training. Or Aikido training.

Max Kepler demonstrated the lost passage of The Nutcracker.

[Circus Boy]

I sense calamity in our immediate future.

[Craig Arko]

Max Kepler demonstrated the lost passage of The Nutcracker.

Suite!

[Aggies7]

I'm nervous

[Aggies7]

Gotta love it

[jimbo92107]

Why is Jepsen still on this team?

[Aggies7]

Yet we keep bringing jepsen in in big situations. Mind boggling.

[Danchat]

And Jepsen blows another lead...

[Vanimal46]

Example #1847575 this season why Jepsen should not pitch in high leverage situations.

[Riverbrian]

Its been quite the 2016

[ashbury]

JEPSEN!!!!

 

_{^{I think that's what we do for a home run, right?}}

[HitInAPinch]

Was that Jepsen???

[mnfireman]

And BOOM!, another good start wasted!
