Game Thread: Twins v Tigers, 4/23 @1:10pm CT

[Twinsbar107]

Why did you move to LA? Do you watch Trout play at least once a week?? Seems like the right move.

 

 

 

Edit: Aside from the winning baseball that exists in the Twin Cities.

I'm in Cartagena right now, and there's a beach and the Caribbean ocean right outside my window.  Reckon a little dip will improve the mood.  

 

Boshears making my decision easy.  Adios for now gang!

Geeeez ... next time invite us!

[LaBombo]

Let's go Mauer with the power!

Here's the kicker, in the Twins interview this morning, Gibson said he's not going to change his approach.

 

Molitor:  You gonna keep the same approach this year Gibby?

Gibson: Everyday

Molitor: Great! You'll do well in our starting rotation.

[Squirrel]

Lol ... think of the children??? You mean here on TD?

I'm crying with laughter!  Funny!

The different colored beard is a DNA thing, I think, Dinger.

[Squirrel]

Um, commercials? Are you getting paid to advertise?

That snake analogy was the stuff of legends.

I was going to post that comment too.  I would pay good money to know what Dick must have been thinking in his head during that color commentary.  

 

Legend in the making.  Cobra snakes and the shift.  Tori's friends are never going to let him live it down.

[Jham]

Torii loves Eddie Escobar for some reason...  Which is good enough for me... Play Eddie, sit Joe.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I will catch up later, and hope the Twins do so sooner.

 

At least Gibson held them for the first inning.

 

Never give up never surrendering.

 

And don't quit neither.

[Mike Sixel]

So, yeah, Kyle Gibson.

 

How soon will Mejia be back in Minnesota? Two weeks? Three? The team can't continue to throw Gibson out there every fifth day.

Didn't someone just tell me to wait until June?

Fill me in on it? I was watching the end of the MotoGP race.

[twinssporto]

EDDIE!!!!!!

Torii: A defensive shift is like a cobra snake. It just flares up at you and makes it seem bigger than it actually is. But at the end of the day it's just a snake.

 

Dick: I don't like snakes.

 

Torii: Nobody likes snakes. They don't have any feet.

[USAFChief]

Just settling in to watch the Twins.

 

How's it going, gang?  How much are we up by?  

[Mike Sixel]

Jonron. That's about as much enthusiasm as they deserve......

[70charger]

Eddie Rosario has been a nice little silver lining over the last few days.

[notoriousgod71]

Dick thrilled that Torii is there to save his ass from foul balls.

 

Torii tells him he doesn't have his glove.

 

Perhaps, Dick will petition for Kevin Mitchell to be his new broadcast partner.

Settle in.  Recline the chair. Close your eyes. Take a nice long nap.

[Twinsbar107]

High point so far, has to be Buxton's two game hit streak no???

Truly the stuff of legend.

[twinssporto]

 

Truly the stuff of legend.

Forever more the "shift" will now be called the "snake"

[ashbury]

Torii tells him he doesn't have his glove.

Neither does Danny Santana.

 

[twinssporto]

Tori can grow a goatee in two days.  Awesome.

[notoriousgod71]

I do really like seeing the old highlights and hearing the old stories from the early 2000s, my favorite era of Twins baseball.

[Comrade Bork]

Lolol Torii burned his goatee off diving for a catch on the turf!

[ashbury]

High point today is Buddy Boshers

Followed by another low point, it's starting to look like, with Tonkin.

[notoriousgod71]

That Eric Plunk comp is rather accurate as they are both mediocre relievers that give up entirely too many base runners.
