Article: Game Thread: Twins v Mariners, 6/12@7:10pm CT

[Aggies7]

9 pitches. 9 strikes. 3 outs. Nicely done.

So, what were your favorite Alex Wimmers memories? Might want to share them now. I suspect that after the game, he will be a memory.

Where are we going to keep finding people to pitch? The barrel has been scraped so often that there's a hole in the bottom

Pitchers are like Marines. They never die. They re-group.

[LaBombo]

 

It was 2-2 when I walked away.

 

 

What just happened?

 

That seems to have been the preeminent recurring question for the greater part of the past half decade.

Phew. What a positive night for this organization....

Funny you should mention that, since there was recently a rumor that Jason Marquis was seen reconstituting near the employee break room at Target Field...

Belisle and Breslow.

 

 

The Killer B's.

 

 

 

 

[jimbo92107]

Well, I think Craig Breslow just got his walking papers. 

[Danchat]

It looks like Breslow's making his way off the team. He's going to have to get in line [behind Belisle] and inflate that ERA to 9.00 before the Twins will do anything, however.

Bilateral Phalange Weakness

No more Vulcan greetings. That's rough.

Sounds like proximal dislocitis. Or maybe dextal faringea. Carpal funnel? 

Is Carpal Funnel caused by over use of the Vorpal Blade?

 

[jimbo92107]

Unless Aaron Judge crushes another baseball, I'd say Valencia just got today's prize for exit velocity.

The carpal funnel leads into the carpal tunnel. Channels all finger energy through that teensy hole. 

[Dave The Dastardly]

 

Are there anymore thirty five year old RPs left? Or journeyman starters?

Don't worry. If there are, the Twins will find them.

 

I'm going to cry myself to sleep, knowing full well when I awake the Twins world will be a darker place.

 

How 'bout them Vikings!

How about them Vikings? Well, they didn't lose today. 

[Blake]

Okay, so, from what I'm seeing, the Twins have people scratching their heads all the way around, from roster construction today to the draft picks for tomorrow.

[jimbo92107]

Breslow may pitch the next inning because nobody cares if his arm falls off after this...

Gimenez, bullpen savior.

[Vanimal46]

Who says there can't be 2-way players in baseball?! I consider Gimenez a part of the bullpen now with how much he's pitched this season.

[mikecgrimes]

Why can't Vargas pitch instead?

[mikecgrimes]

I wish i was still at the game so I could yell Giminez you suck when he gives up a hit

[Danchat]

Garver won't take over the backup catcher spot because he can't pitch...

It's not bad enough they're getting blown out, you gotta remind me I'm due for a colonoscopy?

That reminds me I'm due for a colonoscopy.

 

Colonoscopy > Avian flu > Twins playing at home > Jeff Gray

[LaBombo]

Wasn't 2017 supposed to be the year that our bumper crop of college relievers was harvested?

[Mike Sixel]

Remember, this FO chose Breslow and Belisle. Didn't need legit options. And Tepesch. And Turley. And more!

[mikecgrimes]

10 feet short of a homerun.   I think this ump was reffing the hockey game last night.

[LaBombo]

Tim Wakefield isn't doing anything terribly important when he's not color commentarying for Baahhston, and Garver has the shifty look of a knuckleballer to me.

[jimbo92107]

GiMENez made the mistake of throwing something that looked almost like a normal pitch. 82 is too fast.

[kydoty]

The correct answer is I'm drunk on a Monday and who the **** cares in a 10 run game.

[mikecgrimes]

It appears Cruz still scored get Gimenez out of there
