This is what happens when you gut the strength of your team. 

So you're not in favor of the Twins trading away the Belisle, Breslow, Kintzler trinity? Pretty much the same thing.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

I thought this was Justin Haley's role?

 

Yeah, supposedly Belisle is one of our late inning guys.  Why use him with a 6 run lead?

[HitInAPinch]

AUDRA !!!!!!!

 

about time

[mikeee]

wow

[jud6312]

Haley can only be trusted with 6-run deficits. 

[Blake]

Mollie's not nervous, His gum chewing speed (gcs) is below 2,000 jaw clenches a second....

[Riverbrian]

In all seriousness... (I have to type something like that when I'm actually serious).

 

I wonder about Buxton 3 and Mauer 4 like everybody else but... I believe that Mauer should be handcuffed to Buxton hitting behind him in the order. 

 

So...

 

3 4 is kinda OK with me.

 

OK... I'll duck behind furniture now to avoid the tomatoes.

If Belisle is only a late-inning guy, he could go weeks without pitching. Might as well start showcasing him early.

Like.(reached my quota)

 

Cheating the quota system? That's a paddlin'.

[Blake]

 

CASTRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the Royals Bay of Pigs.

Like. (I keep forgetting I've reached my quota and keep hitting the stupid button)

[twinssporto]

Matt Belisle doesn't make it a trial!

[LaBombo]

 

It's been a long cold winter LaBombo.  Good to see you back at the Game Thread bar! 

Thanks, you too! The Twins' off season was so intense that I had to breathe into a paper bag for a few... months, but I'm ok now.  Thank goodness it was the Twins who score when I showed up, or I might have been forced into another month or two of hibernation.

Yeah, as if furniture is cover for incoming mortar fire.

[Jerr]

I reached my like quota, here I thought some were just kidding, about that

Sorry, friend, but I don't have enough 'likes' left to waste one on that.

Because the results today have been so encouraging?

[Craig Arko]

Shows a lot of guile.

[Blake]

Like, uh, wait, uh, never mind...

So, how much furniture do you have?  Need to schedule warmup time....

Because Molitor would really like to avoid going 0-9 again this year.

 

 

[USAFChief]

 

Shows a lot of guile.

This one, on the other hand, made me smile.

[Squirrel]

Since I knew I'd run out, I have been holding them back and using them mostly on Mike's post ... because it's his birthday today ... and I have been enjoying his Spanish posts ... and 4-5 pages went by too quickly with that last inning so it's more like 9-10 since I last mentioned it!

[LaBombo]

 

 

leaving wood in to rot.

You know it's bad when the water's not even beading.

Good win.

Hopefully they can jump off to a nice start this season. Just need to go 80-81 the rest of the way to go .500 now!

[Cap'n Piranha]

Turns up the dial?

 

No need to force down bile?

 

racks up outs in a pile?

 

lays down some kitchen tile?

Gets outs with style.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Cory just mentioned that the winning pitcheo the last time the Twins gano their opener was Hernandez.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LIVAN Hernandez.

[BoofBonser]

It's Mike Minor Dick and Bert, not Travis Wood

[Squirrel]

Well, win this one today and it's already a way better start to the season than last year. It's not really a stretch.
