just logged back in.  watched Duffey's first couple and bailed.

what the heck is going on?  I was expecting this game to be almost over

Dick: "Kepler says he doesn't hear the crowd as much as he used to."

That's called a homestand, rook.

[Aggies7]

Twins bullpen has thrown 237 1/3 innings so far

[Aggies7]

A 1-2-3 inning!

[HitInAPinch]

Suzuki with a double and another HR?  When did we switch to another alternative universe?

[ashbury]

A 1-2-3 inning!

A hundred twenty three pitches, hits, or what? I had to switch away for a few moments.

[Pardon My Dinger]

My new mission in life is to coach a professional soccer team. We are going to play like a hockey team. We will shoot the goddamned ball low every time we are 30 yards away then crash the net. We are going to win every game. It is going to be relatively easy.

Anyone else think the Ric flair "woo!" Is a bit....minor league for the twins to play after every k?

No such thing as an inappropriate rick flair woo.

[Hrbowski]

TR better make some trades before we get mediocre. I really want the #1 pick.

unfortunately, it's not played anywhere near enough for it to bother me.

Approves:

Suzuki nearing .260

[Danchat]

Suzuki is a triple shy of a cycle. Extension time!!!

[HitInAPinch]

Phillies got themselves a bunch of Gold Glovers.  Can Twins purchase more games against them?

[ashbury]

Remember when we thought trading for Bourjos would help shore up our defense?

Dick just said Rosario is actually drawing some walks.

 

He's had 5 in like 125 PAs.  5.

No

Suzuki has had some gifts, One was a result of his normal futility (the double).  Bourjous just misplayed the single.

 

Still take it though.

[ashbury]

Well, no way this east coast fan is going to be able to stay through the finish of this pitchers' duel. G'night all.

This season, or...

 

...this game?

[jimmer]

 

No

was that like 5 years ago?

[HitInAPinch]

yeah, still can't remember.  or selective memory......

Yeah, and that's another thing: pitch?! It's called a field ya commies!

[Pardon My Dinger]

Rasmussen's got this.

[USAFChief]

 

I like Rogers better than Boshers despite the numbers they've posted so far.

If you pronounce this "Roe-ghears" and "Boe-shears" it sounds better.

[Aggies7]

Hm

[HitInAPinch]

Wow, nice comeback by Tonkin!

 

Edit:  for a second
