Article: Game Thread: Twins v Rockies, 5/16 @ 7:10pm CT

[Pardon My Dinger]

I like LaTroy a lot, but I wish he'd stop talking about the altitude effect, which he really doesn't seem to grasp for some reason.

[spinowner]

 

Knowledge!!!

Knailed it!

[Mike Sixel]

I absolutely hate that Kepler is being platooned.

[Don Walcott]

Buxton!!

[spinowner]

KaBOOOOM!

Tied the Record

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I can't tell if that's funny or not.

 

Somebody help me out here...

It must be...

 

Chief said it.

[TwinsCD]

BIG BUX, BIG BUX, NO WHAMMIES!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Tied the Record

Game and record.

 

Buxton must be the tie master then.

 

What's next?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did Rosario just beat out a baltimore chop?

 

Always wanted to see one of 'em.

Tied the Record

Which record was that again?

[Riverbrian]

With that home Run... The Twins have now homered in 16 straight games. 

 

The Previous Record was 16 in 1979. 

 

Although... It was pretty easy to do in 1979 with Rob Wilfong in the lineup. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Which record was that again?

Number of consecutive games where at least one Twin hits a homerun.

Don't spill any ketchup on that or won't be welcomed in Chicago

Oh, i get it!

 

That is an appy-tie, sir!

[yarnivek1972]

Just saw that Adalberto Mejia left the game after 3 innings. He had only thrown 33 pitches and allowed 1 hit. Any news?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We hung a goose egg!

 

Finally a chance to jump out in front, and not just play ketchup.

 

(thereby offending the sensibilities of Chicago)

Doesn't sound good. Unless they cut him off early so he can start on Saturday. And still maybe doesn't sound good. IDK.

Not a problem... I'll spill the peppers, onions and celery salt on my tie in Chicago. The Tie will end up looking very Chicago.

He is either hurt or pitching on Saturday for the Twins. 

 

Or He looked at his Manager and said. "Only 1 hit so far... I'm quitting while ahead". 

[Oldgoat_MN]

Grossman's at bats aren't very exciting, but he gets on base a lot.

I think that's a good thing.

Pretty big "either / or" situation there!  Inquiring minds want to know! 

[TwinsCD]

Someone needs to tell that ball kid down the RF line that it ain't his job to try to catch a popup.  He looked like he wanted to make that play on the Grossman foul ball and Desmond was about to run him over if he could have gotten there.

Btw ... the headless leg statues have a companion now. It's good ... the Buddha can help guide them. I mean, without heads, they can't see where they are going, so this is good.

Wow, Buxton hit a dinger.

[Squirrel]

I'm so jet lagged, I might have to go to bed early tonight.

 

This broadcast isn't helping me stay awake, either.
