Game Thread 4/10/18 Twins vs. Astros 7:10 PM CDT

I think Every single AB with RISP to a RH hitter has started with a changeup from Kuechel.

 

Maybe, dunno, put away the analytics and do some ol' fashioned watching...and sit on a changeup.

 

They're re-tasking a bird to verify that theory as we speak.

What's the correct term. American Indians or Native Americans?

Neither, I think, actually

[ashbury]

Ten o'clock in the East, we've finished only 4 innings.

 

[Blake]

 

What's the correct term. American Indians or Native Americans?

In my case, Cherokee.

[jimmer]

Can you get that info to Bremer then.  He keeps saying American Indians and I'm pretty sure that's NOT correct.

[Mike Sixel]

We held on for the WC, but we faced the Yankees in the WC game. you can guess the rest.

Literally laughing right now.

[LaBombo]

 

At someone's house, Watching the game. 

 

Me too! Hope it's mine, because bath robe.

 

Oh, wait. It's evening, so... smoking jacket.

Uh. Hmm. Thanks for the visual?

[Blake]

No wonder Altuve is so hard to strike out. Not only does he have a small strike zone, his bat is as big as the strike zone!

I think more prefer Native American to American Indian, however, I think the prefernce over that is to be identified by their tribe or clan.

[jimmer]

Nice job Jake!

[Squirrel]

Glad you're enjoying it. I can't say the same.

[Nine of twelve]

Better visual than no bath robe.

[twinssporto]

Classic bunt.  Where does he learn to do that?  Who taught him?  Can we hire the teacher?  Rod Carew is cheating on us...

 

I'm self liking this 6 times.

Could be worse. Was tempted to explain how the bathrobe's belt got wet.

Well, yeah, if you have some kind of magic where you can tell right away what tribe they are from without them letting you know, sure.  But the general term is Native American's right? It's not considered offensive.  Much like Latin Americans covers a wide range of people from Latin American countries.

We just saw the twins first ab....

[USAFChief]

That'll work.

I preferred when the non-game conversation was more Star Trek related, I am not sure I want to know where this is heading - although I sense an ish (or ick).

[USAFChief]

Dick:  "Kuechel will not reach the 1000 innings pitched mark in Minnesota."

 

Not for lack of time.

[ashbury]

Will it spoil things for you if I let slip that there are more in your future?

 

I have no idea how to run a game thread this way.

[USAFChief]

I was thinking the other day...what if there were no hypothetical situations?

[twinssporto]

LoMo should lay down a bunt.

[USAFChief]

 

LoMo should lay down a bunt.

Now you done done it.

I sat on a changeup once. Fortunately it was a three-finger job.

You know how you unavoidably envision a grand slam when the bases become loaded?

 

Eh, never mind, you'll understand when you see who's at the plate.

Thats called, "it is what it is".

[Nine of twelve]

A major league batter ought to have enough skill to push the ball to the left side of the infield

what is?
