Game Thread: ST - Twins v Red Sox, 3/25 @ 1:05pm local time

[Squirrel]

It’s televised today ... at least on the local stations. Someone can fill in the lineups.

[Squirrel]

Oops, heh ...

[Squirrel]

Ugh ... boooo

[yarnivek1972]

Evil Kyle is back.

[joethastud]

Is Paul Hogan doing the game with Dick?  What the heck?

[yarnivek1972]

20 plus pitch inning. Gibson in midseason form.

[Craig Arko]

Evil Kyle is back.

And Good Dozier.

phrasing.

 

[yarnivek1972]

It’s worth repeating: Gibson’s “improved” stretch run coincided with him facing some of the worst offensive teams in MLB last year.

 

Until he does well against some non-terrible teams, I’m not buying that he has turned some magical corner.

[snepp]

 

Appropriate, as this game went sideways early.

[yarnivek1972]

Falling behind. Forced to throw very hittable pitches to good hitters. This is EXACTLY what the Twins have seen from Gibson the last 2 1/2 seasons.

An in-game visitor:

And I kept that sideways because of snepp’s comment. Yup. That’s my story. It’s not the beer. <hic>

ninja'd.

[Squirrel]

ninja'd.

I ninja’d you? I must not be so drunk as I think I am. Or you’re worse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes

[Squirrel]

Oh ffs

[Squirrel]

I scored that as a 7CC

Do they have local beers on tap at the stadium? Or your typical Bud/Miller Lite?

Sounds like I'm skipping 40% of Twins starters until Erv comes back. Then it will only be 20% of Twins starters!

Yes

 

 

(you should know better

[yarnivek1972]

Kinda reading between the lines of what Bremer is saying.

 

Sounds like Granite may have injured his shoulder enough to possibly land on the DL. If he doesn’t get into this game, I think one can assume that is a certainty. And if he does, how he feels afterword (and tomorrow) will be key.

[Squirrel]

Well, Granite’s in the game so we’ll see

[Squirrel]

Ugh. And again ... stand and remove hats for GBA ... it is NOT our anthem. It’s an Irving Berlin ditty.

[Vanimal46]

 

Yes

Sometimes you need to toss up a softball to get the game thread juices flowing!

Let’s give it a try...

 

Hey, I just invented a new word: plagiarism!

It's like you literally took my stuff, and claimed it as your own!

Anyone got a smoke?

Amen. Proper protocol does not require removing hats for anything other than the anthem. Which, by the way, should be changed to "America The Beautiful". IMHO, of course.
