Game Thread: Twins vs Rockies, 5/17/17 @ 7:10 PM CT

[David HK]

Had such a crazy day yesterday, there was no time to follow the game- and I feel really lucky about that.  What a retro-2016 display that seemed to be.  

 

Today is an easier day, so I can check in and out, but....Please, pleeeeeeease, don't waste Ervin on a 2-3 inning washout!  

 

Pleeeeeeeeeease!

[Craig Arko]

Double feature tomorrow.

and the sun sets on another day in first place ...

I am an eternal pessimist.  I'm overjoyed to actually see the Twinks in this position at present, but decades of following Twinkie Ball tells me it's a fleeting thing.  How fleeting, I'm not sure at this point, but I'm toying with the idea of an over/under date for the last time we see 1st place this season.   Call me a Cassandra, but I'm thinking it's somewhere toward the end of this month.

 

But hey- the most encouraging thing is that maybe, just maybe, we're seeing the debuts of the crowd that's going to do some contending in the next few years.  I really want to see some of those young (and not getting any younger) BP arms up here by around AS break, as well as another starting option or 2 (Mejia and....?)  I don't care if we take lumps through the dog days, but let's not do it with the likes of Belisle and Breslow and Tepesch and (insert place-holder name here).  

I also wanna see a long-term commitment from the dugout to give more ABs to Vargas and Kep (against LHP), and less from Ol' Joe in the 2 or 4 hole (especially against LHP).

And the rain has stopped probably for good

Mrs Ash and I enjoyed chicken dinnah tonight, for what that's worth.

So if it is a doubleheader tomorrow, what time does it start, and what's televised?

[Danchat]

Twins are calling up Drew Rucinski as the 26th man for tomorrow's game. Exciting stuff.

Given your 100% failure in forecasting tonight, I'm going to guess you actually work as a weather man.

Game officially postponed

So...

 

I didn't miss anything?

 

I can live with that...

 

I'll try to pay better attention tomorrow.

 

I just hope there won't be a test at the end of the season...

He's no ace...

Careful - that was the subject of a recent debate that ranked up there with tastes great/less filling for being fierce and irrational.

The of the double header is here.

 

(probably sounds better in subtitles)

 

I mean to have surplus attentiom for both, but i may end up only breaking even...
