Game Thread: Twins vs. Indians, 6/17 @ 1:10 and again at 7:10

[Huddy]

I almost hope that the utter failure time after time by these re-treads... will eventually give us the chance to see the young guys.... maybe.... i hope.... not holding my breathe

[Bark's Lounge]

Yucky ****y.

[Aggies7]

35 pitches, still not out of the inning. So essentially, we'll need three starting pitchers TODAY

[wsnydes]

Swing at ball four twice. Wilk thanks you.

[Huddy]

At this rate, at least we wont have to wait long between games!!! 

[Darius]

Live updates to the odds - 14 innings?

I was assuming a 9 inning game, which would probably start around even money. Extras changes things completely. Odds on the over in a 14 inning game? -250?

[DocBauer]

Great opening!

 

Just tuned in with 2 outs in the 1st and the game is already over. Damn!

[Danchat]

This is why we had a 14 page discussion about claiming Adam Wilk... most of us knew he'd pitch like this, but I suppose the other options aren't much better.

 

Though to be honest, I'd rather have Tommy Milone at this point.

There's always the independent leagues. I'm sure Andrew Albers and Scott Diamond are somewhere out there waiting for their phone to ring.

Rumor is the scouts have frequently been spotted at the saints games 

[twins_89]

There could be some really ugly numbers put up by the pitching in the first game today. I can see Molitor leaving guys out there way longer than they should be in order to try to save the bullpen for the second game.

[Darius]

Wilk is going to have 50 pitches before recording his 4th out. It's almost funny at this point.

It's hilariousssss

[Huddy]

You know it's a dire situations when Dick is pointing out how bad our SP situation is.

[Darius]

Kipnis does the Twins a huge favor and hands them an out.

I suppose it is easier when the people most responsible for the 0 depth are no longer with the organization

[Intramural Legend]

% chance that Wilk is still a Twin by the end of the second game?

[Huddy]

Well, they had to have known that Wilk was going to go 4IP at the most.... so they just screwed the bullpen for today as well as tomorrow.

[Huddy]

 

% chance that Wilk is still a Twin by the end of the second game?

3%

[Intramural Legend]

 

3%

 

Mrs Wilk?

[DocBauer]

I guess I missed it somewhere, what's with the blue uniforms today?

Fathers day/ prostate cancer awareness.. i think.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Yeah, and the correct answer to you short people asking us tall people if we play basketball is to look  down and ask if you're a jockey.

 

(I've got a 7' nephew who came up with that one. He may even have a t-shirt)

hey - I loved every word of the intro today

[Whammy]

Thanks ump. Great call on that "ball"

[Whammy]

Can we call the rest of these unearned runs after that terrible non-strike call

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Falvey needs to stop sitting on his hands and do something. Enough.

[Jham]

I mean, the comments from Molitor before the series were already downplaying the importance.  It's like we knew we were toast before it began.  Then pitching matchups were released and confirmed this.

[USAFChief]

So far, This is awful.  Everything about it.  Awful pitching.  Awful ABs.  Awful luck.  

 

Great game thread intro though!

 

 

[Whammy]

"Opened up quickly"

 

Drink

I just hope that these epic failures diminish all hope they had for these retreads, and they do something.
