[Aggies7]

Umpire has some mercy

[yarnivek1972]

Our two long men aren't providing much length. I suspect Rosario and Wimmers are out. Wimmers DFA. Rosario to AAA. Up next, Busenitz and maybe Hildenberger, assuming neither pitched tonight. That would necessitate another 40 man move. Hughes to the 60 day remains an option. DFA Tepesch would be another.

I just checked Google Flights. 

 

Flying from Seattle to Rochester is not direct... it has a few layovers. Seattle to Denver to Minneapolis to Colorado Springs to Chicago to Syracuse to San Diego to Rochester. 

[LaBombo]

 

There's always Amtrack. Or Greyhound.

 

Greyhound all the way. Too bad we don't still have DanSan to send down with him and keep him company...

Welp it's been a great thread and a bad game.

 

Not that there's ever a bad thread and a great game.

[yarnivek1972]

Remember last inning when Dozier's homerun put the Twins back in the game?

[David HK]

 

Busenitz and Hildenberger are pitching really well in AAA, they should at least get a shot. They're more qualified than basically everyone else they've called up so far.

One or both of those guys should have been the first call all along.

Or just as bad, he may hold out for Qantas to max out his miles.

 

[David HK]

 

So, he'll lay over in Chicago. There's no rush.

Hey!  He can have a hot dog!  

 

 

 

[Riverbrian]

Good night all

 

Tomorrow is a new day

[LaBombo]

 

 

And coincidentally the exact reason why I switched to Republic sanitation service.

[David HK]

Jeepers, this Paxton guy, what a stud.  Hey!  He's from the U of Kentucky!  Same as Andrew Albers, and Alex Meyer, and Taylor Rogers!

 

Hmmm.  Did we....  maybe.....  get the wrong guys?

[LaBombo]

Wimmers' night end with a bang? More T.S. for the Hollow Men in the bullpen to endure.

Presumably with a couple new pitchers.

There's one keeper in our bunch, at least...

Hi everyone!

[LaBombo]

 

Hi everyone!

[snepp]

[King]

Only down by 9!

[LaBombo]

Only down by 9!

 

Bullpen still has to get 9 more outs. We might be down by !9 by the time it's over. Not that I'll be awake by then.

Another Buxton K, served extra-RiSPy. That's the end of the line for me. And probably also of the major league meal money for a Twins reliever or two.

Eye C wut U done there...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Only down by 9!

9! is a kinda large number, last time i checked.

 

But yup. We can come back. The trick of course to scoring many runs is just not to get out.

[twinsbaby]

Trade Buxton, please. We need a productive CF.

[TNTwinsFan]

So this Nik Turley guy...is he for real?! 6IP, 15K!!!!! What?!

[David HK]

OK, 2-out rally here.  We get a touchdown, we're right back in this.

 

 

Edit--  welp.  Goal line stand, I guess.

Edited June 7, 2017 by David HK

[David HK]

Holy Cow, Valencia- 5 HR, 26 RBI--  is that in this game alone?

[glunn]

Nice double by Buxton. A Dozier home run can cut the lead to 6.

[Danchat]

Oh wow, we get to see Gimenez pitch his 4th game of the season. You know your bullpen is bad when a position player has to pitch this many times...
