Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Rays, 4/20@6:10pm CT

[DocBauer]

Lynn arrived at camp late. The Twins have had, what, 5 games post poned thus far? I believe the PR games and this one are the only games played above 40 degrees with the others in the 30's and missed with rain and snow. Batting practice has been almost non-existent. And they have a winning record to this point.

 

I am remaining calm.

 

 

[USAFChief]

Just like you draw it up. Nice throw Castro.

[DocBauer]

SWEET double play!

[VATwinsFan]

That's one way to get out of a mess.

[Vanimal46]

What voodoo God does Lynn pray to in order to get out of these jams?

[Mill1634]

STRIKE EM OUT, THROW EM OUT!

 

THE MOST EXCITING PLAY IN BASEBALL.

[tbhysgb]

Grossman's just a boring player. I want a guy looking to drive a gapper with two guys on base, not merely trying to walk just to bring castro up with the bases loaded.

I don’t think anyone is panicking, but there is a lot of “stuff” that needs to be worked out

In other news, the Burlington Bees beat the Quad City River Bandits 28-7 earlier today. Burlington scored 8 runs in the 1st, and 5 runs in three different innings.

 

Burlington had two players who drove in 8 and 7 runs respectively, and Quad Cities had a pitcher who gave up 10 earned runs in 1.2 innings.

That’ll put a dent in the ol’ ERA.

But enough about Mauer.

It looks like there are more people watching the rays in the tank than there are watching the Rays on the field.

More people watched my last game of solitaire than there are watching this one in person

And everybody was yelling. Jack!!! On the Queen!!! Hey Hey... The Jack!!! 

[Aggies7]

LoMo, not out of the slump.

[amjgt]

Is there any more perplexed look in the world than a baseball player smoking a ball directly into a shift?

 

Like they are mad at the world for the bad luck they’ve just experienced.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Lynn arrived at camp late.

Yeah but he was working out at that secret All-Star camp for guys too good to accept contract offers

[Vanimal46]

I'm surprised the 1B for Tampa got in the way of that LoMo grounder. He's got a family to think about.

If he's already got a family, it makes it easier to get in the way.

My fantasy baseball decisions today. 

 

I sat Bryce Harper, Corey Seager and Miguel Sano today. I chose to start Robinson Chirinos over Mike Zunino. 

 

That has been my fantasy decisions today update. 

[VATwinsFan]

Tyler Duffey's line so far this evening at Rochester -- 3 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 4 Ks which makes this year's totals -- 11 IP, 3 H, 1 BB, 14 K.

I think that falls under the general "_____-type" comment that earns a "DRINK" in the usual "Bert says ______" game.

Yes.

 

 

 

 

Drink (in the "Chief says..." game.

You sat Bryce Harper?

Even when the Twins sucked they didn’t take this many completely non-competitive at bats. Tough to watch sometimes.

It is disheartening. It must because of the postponements. That’s what I hear anyway

[Aggies7]

Must be trying to get their moneys worth sending Lynn back out there

[Mill1634]

Not sure why we aren't using Pressly or Hildy or even Rogers here
