Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 5/11/17 - 7:10pm CT

[John Kelsey]

Pressly strikes out the side, as expected. 

[USAFChief]

Pressly's got good stuff, hopefully the results start showing up consistently.

[Aggies7]

Normally I don't complain much about the HP umpire, but by my count he's missed roughly as many strike calls for Twins pitchers as he's made.

Not a night to remember for Ol' Jerry

[70charger]

That's the Pressly I wanted to see!

[jimbo92107]

Just got back from the store...did I miss anything?

[twinssporto]

Pressly has just left the building!  Throwing like a man possessed.  WOW!

[Joe A. Preusser]

If you hit .500 you are in the hall.

[Blake]

 

Just got back from the store...did I miss anything?

Would you believe me if I told you Pressly struck out the side? 

 

No, seriously, he did.

 

No, I'm not kidding, really, he did!

 

Okay, fine, have it your way.

[USAFChief]

This is sorta embarrassing, but as you might have learned from some of our esteemed posters, I'm getting up there in years.

 

Which, of course, comes with it's own set of problems.  Mrs Chief recently asked to me get some pills to make our bedroom life a bit more...exciting.

 

So I ran right down to the pharmacy and got her some diet pills.

[Aggies7]

Dan Jennings. Remember that punk from jeopardy

 

Edit: that was ken. And I'm drunk

[70charger]

 

Just got back from the store...did I miss anything?

 

Nope.

[Aggies7]

Don't see Mauer get out of the k zone too often

No, seriously, he did.

Get out of town! Lemme wind that back...

 

Whoa. Where'd he find his old curve ball? I thought he'd lost it for good... ;-)

[drock2190]

Anyone see that Tebow fan behind home plate?

 

Looks like a total tool

Looks like a total tool

You sure it's a fan?

[drock2190]

This Kahnle guy is nasty.

 

Have this guy on my fantasy team. Strikeouts galore.

did you consider getting yourself some beer goggles?

[David HK]

Oh, Lord, 6 more outs to get?  

 

Geez, who do we throw out there for the 8th before bringing in "Rollie" Kintzler?

 

<cue dream sequence music>

 

*camera cuts to Molly, in the dugout, checking his mobile.  Zoom in to see he's following the TD game thread.*

*cut to close up--lineup card in hand, pencil poised--  hand begins to scrawl: "W-i-l-k..."

*cut back to Molly close up-- wry smile and barely perceptible chuckle*

 

Molly (sotto voce):  That oughta make their little heads explode...

You should trade him for Wilks.

[USAFChief]

No but she did.

[USAFChief]

Is Kahnle...young?

[David HK]

Just, ya know...  

 

Not thinking of PH'ing Vargas here, and having Castro finish the game or anything

 

Just, ya know... like he's already there on the bench and everything...

[twinssporto]

 

Is Kahnle...young?

Southern boy doesn't need him around anyhow...

[USAFChief]

Belisle 1-2-3, Kintzler 1-2-3, boom-shaka-laka, ballgame.  

[Riverbrian]

Oh Yeah

 

Wait til you see this Belisle guy!!!

[Blake]

 

Oh Yeah

 

Wait til you see this Belisle guy!!!

I can wait.

[drock2190]

 

Is Kahnle...young?

 

He's 27.

 

Get this...he has a negative FIP -.025. Thats insane. Along with the 17 strikeouts per 9

[Blake]

Okay, Mollie's nervous. He is really chawin' away on that gum.

[Aggies7]

That's a strike, Jerry.
