Game Thread: Cleveland v Twins, 4/18 @ 6:10 pm CT

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Berrios is dad. That is all.

Berrios to Padres? Noooooo!

[D. Hocking]

 

He won't accrue a high enough WAR being a first baseman to win the MVP. However a batting title isn't out of the question, Cuddy did it.

 

How about batting title in the regular season and MVP of one of the play-off series?

[Cap'n Piranha]

What, exactly, does an extremely poor quality phone call with Alex Cora add to the broadcast?

[Huddy]

That I could definitely see sealing the deal. Batting title/Ployoff series MVP or deep playoff run in general and a positive showing.. or two more good years I think would do it.

[BoofBonser]

Not sure if you guys mentioned this earlier but: The Twins have played 12 games so far while the Rangers have played 20
 

That's just crazy

[sampleSizeOfOne]

0-0 in da 5th.

 

Have i missed anything of note?

[RaoulDuke]

Ok I am officially over the Puerto Rico infomercial.  Talk about baseball again please announcers.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Grossman draws a walk on a bunch of close pitches, and Castro is not really on the team to deliver in RBI situations like this.

 

Whaddya gonna do.

[h2oface]

Grossman at his finest when he doesn't swing at all.

[Blake]

 

What, exactly, does an extremely poor quality phone call with Alex Cora add to the broadcast?

A distraction from "All Lindor all the time?"

[Cap'n Piranha]

Lindor leading off the top of the 6th.

 

Hey, did you guys know Lindor is from Puerto Rico!?

 

Thanks, ESPN, that is completely new information!

[Blake]

 

0-0 in da 5th.

Berrios has been very good.

[Cap'n Piranha]

I don't know, with that audio quality, I can't confidently say they weren't still talking about Lindor.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Berrios has been very good.

 

Berrios is on pace to shatter Phil Hughes' k/bb ratio record.

 

29 k's to only 1 bb.

[woolywoolhouse]

The Twins know that they're allowed to score in the first half of the game right?

[Craig Arko]

I heard Berrios is from Puerto Rico.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Just curious, are they hyping Berrios too?

[Huddy]

It feels like more genuine baseball talk about Berrios. Lindor it feels forced honestly and focuses 99% on his personality.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

I heard Berrios is from Puerto Rico.

 

[Circus Boy]

 

That would make Chester one of the youngest presidents of all time?

Oops. I meant ancestor. And she's not wooly.

[Huddy]

But... I may be biased.

[ashbury]

I will settle for nothing less than a 4-3 ground out RBI

That kind of walk-off is exceedingly rare.

[Blake]

 

The Twins know that they're allowed to score in the first half of the game right?

Survey says: Not sure!

[Circus Boy]

 

You must have traveled back in time to be one of his ancestors, or else traveled forward in time to be with us today.

Why, yes, I did.

[Huddy]

 

It feels like more genuine baseball talk about Berrios. Lindor it feels forced honestly and focuses 99% on his personality.

Oh... and his smile... What is with everyone and this man's smile.. he has a decent set of chompers and all. But then so again our man Ryan LaMarre does as well... as well as a subtle stubble and great hair.

[ashbury]

JO is rolling now

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Craig Arko]

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

If Kepler hits a bomb I’m good with that.

[ashbury]

Another batting title couldn’t hurt, either.

A player who gets three of those while playing full-time catcher gets to drop the mic, as far as I'm concerned.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That kind of walk-off is exceedingly rare.

oh, no. I'm talking about the 4th inning ground out run that holds up til the end.

 

You don't think they'd carry Mauer off on their shoulders for that?

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Why, yes, I did.

 

Which means its possible you are your own ancestor.
