Game Thread(!) Twins vs. Phillies 3-18 @ 12:05 CT

[Vanimal46]

The game is on MLB Network and MLB.tv.

 

 

We get to watch Odorizzi pitch today!

[Vanimal46]

Things to think about:

 

Green Beer: Did you drink any yesterday? I can safely say I won't be consuming any more of it until March 17, 2019.

 

Weather: It's going to be 82 degrees at first pitch. What's the weather looking like in your neck of the woods? It's going to be muggy and raining in Austin.

 

St. Patty's Day Food: I had a GREAT Shepherd's Pie yesterday. Did you eat any Irish based food yesterday? Corned beef?

 

Working out the kinks: We are T minus 11 days away from opening day! Even game threaders need a spring training. Let's use today to get our bad jokes, memes, and concurs in line for the real deal!

[USAFChief]

BAD jokes???

 

Time to work out the kinks in my bannin’ finger.

[Craig Arko]

Also on FSN for us in Minnesota.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Let's get started!

 

Here is my Phil Hughes bingo card for today:

 

- wind was blowing out

- Poor fielding behind him

- still injured

- was working on change up grip

- on an 0-2 pitch

- spring stats don't matte-------

 

Oh, Hughes pitched yesterday? Gues i am a little rusty...

You seem to have inferred that comments about bad jokes are directed specifically in your direction. To be fair, I suppose that's a very logical inference to make. Not that there's anything wrong with bad jokes.

Have no fear! You just need to update to the Odorizzi Bingo card...

 

Best acquisition ever.

 

Twins HOF?

 

Don't need fielding behind him. He will do it all himself

 

Best stuff in baseball

[Vanimal46]

Annnd we're starting off with a 1 pitch fly out.

[Vanimal46]

I like Odorizzi's big, bending curve ball.

Q: What do you get when you take the sun and divide its circumference by its diameter?

A: Pi in the sky. (Except at night.)

[Craig Arko]

Dozier single to right; Buxton bunt single, SB.

 

Should be a fun year.

[Vanimal46]

Adrianza!! 2 RBI triple.

[Blake]

Woot! Direct TV has the game on!

[Vanimal46]

Could someone please buy "cold beer and peanuts!" from that guy?

[Blake]

The dog that yelps from the stone that's tossed among the pack is likely the one that was hit.

[Blake]

By the way, there may be a "get out of banning free" card.

 

Check with Chief and Carole for available games and sign up for threads now!

 

Hurry, while they last and, if you order now, you get two game threads for the price of one! (I may have made that last bit up. Okay, I may have made up more than just that last bit)

Did you holler "Bingo" during the Dave St. Peter interview? I believe he was pretty close to covering your card.

[ashbury]

Q. What do you get if you divide the circumference of a bowl of ice cream by its diameter?

[Blake]

My future waistline?

[ashbury]

My future waistline?

Correct!

 

The panel would also have accepted "Pi a la mode."

He gone.

[USAFChief]

What do you get when you divide a bovine's circumference by its diameter?

[USAFChief]

I'm a serious note...Gibson talking about using his 4 seamer more...as a few of us noted last year.

[Blake]

I'm cautiously optimistic about Mr. Gibson this year.

 

Not so much about Mr. Hughes, darn it.

[ashbury]

What do you get when you divide a bovine's circumference by its diameter?

I'm not touching that one.

 

(That's my answer.)

[Blake]

Cow Pi

[Blake]

Seems like Nola is going pretty deep into the game for this time of the year.

[ashbury]

Not every pitcher signs a contract two weeks into Spring Training.

[Blake]

That was fun to watch and I hope it's a sign of things to come. 

 

Triple by Buxton and brought home by Kepler.

[Vanimal46]

Pressly pitching himself into trouble here.
