Game Thread: Twins @ Giants 6-11 @ 3:05 PM CT

Nothing about Turley impressed me.  He was throwing 92-93, but had no command and the curve didn't appear to me to be anything special.  

 

No one was hitting his breaking stuff, he just couldn't locate it. That's not exactly a positive though.

Sam Duduno, but different...

There's someone on this thread whose comments I've decided to ignore

It's a useful function for sure, but it's not necessary to announce it. But yeah.

I don't worry, as I left Rube Chat years ago and the moderators here.... are sooooooo good at what ever moderators do this site will just take the cream from Rube Chat, none of the curd

OK, quick question, what exactly is this Rube Chat place? I've only ever been a Twins Daily member, so I'm not aware of other sites.

Not worth you knowing nor I telling you

Count yourself lucky and don't borrow trouble.

Not sure we can judge much about whether anyone could hit it...I'm not sure he threw one for a strike.

[USAFChief]

Swing. the. bat.

[USAFChief]

Not to worry.  The pen's got this.

I'm guessing that at bat didn't leave you warm and fuzzy.

Whoops, is this a taboo subject? Just like talking about fight club?

My ignore list is two pages long, now.

Apologies if this has already been covered, but when I was last on Gameday a few minutes ago it was still being weird. The score at the middle of the fifth read 5-3, but the play-by-play didn't show the fifth run scoring. Then the box showed Turley facing one batter in the bottom of the fifth, but again the play-by-play didn't show that play or batter. Any help translating?

I believe "rube chat" is the common (man's) term for the KFAN boards.

Not taboo ... just ... lots of trolls in the other place and lots of folks who think they know what they don't.

Never mind, guess it's fixed now. For several minutes the play-by-play somehow completely skipped a few at-bats from the fifth: the ones taken by Eduardo Escobar, Eddie Rosario, and....

 

EDUARDO NUNEZ

!?!

 

Anti-Ed conspiracy?

Good summary of the Internet.

Well said!!!!!!

[I've Got Small Hands]

Solid inning of work for Boshers.

[Linus]

Buddy, Buddy, Buddy.

[USAFChief]

Boshers dominant.  As expected.

[Squirrel]

Good summary of the Internet.

Lol ... I guess that was generic enough to cover a lot.

It was a cesspool of Twins trolls where every game thread delved into how much Mauer sucked. The king troll was DH....

Some of stuff posted in the March for Science group on FB just astounds me. Thank goodness for incredible pictures of the Cosmos and Earth.

[Blake]

I didn't know there were other Twins boards besides Twins Daily....

So I had to go to the doctor yesterday. There was a piece of lettuce hanging out of my...uh...backside. Not sure how, but anyways.

 

Sooooo, the doctor examines me and says, "I've got some bad news. It is indeed lettuce, and what's worse, it appears to be just the tip of the iceberg."

A salad joke...

 

Chief, whatcha got for an Entreé?

 

Hold on whilst i get caught up the thread... i was out in the sun for a bit.

Working towards a Kintzler closing...hang on.....
