Article: Game Thread: Twins v Cardinals, 5/15 @ 7:10pm CT

[Blake]

 

Honest question: with Buxton on third, do you play with the infield in?

 

I don't think I do.

Not sure it really matters...

[drock2190]

 

Twins should just bunt through the order 1 time a game. 

 

Wouldn't have much to lose at this point.

 

Molitor reads the game thread

[David HK]

Who was it that made that comment about Bobby Baby starting instead of Garver?

 

And what the hey, the Murderee's Row comes through!

That. Was. Not. Expected.

[RaoulDuke]

Bobby "Big Hoss" Wilson!!!!

[Blake]

 

Buxton!! Bunt, bunt, bunt your way through this slump!

Good call!

Tough call. But I think I do in a tie game. Otherwise no.

[mrmpls]

AWSOME- Bobby-BOY Wilson

[Don Walcott]

Good call!

In all fairness, that was after the bunt. But I’d like to see some more!

Also, Gardy's team doing his thing on the Clevelands

Feel free to go to class now. Fernando and Friends have this covered.

Was someone complaining about Wilson?

[Danchat]

Suddenly the Twins have learned how to hit again. Berrios' great start may not be in vain now.

[Don Walcott]

I never would have taken out Flaherty there. Low pitch count, nobody to second until that inning, and looked completely in control. Only one run. But that’s apparently the way things are going.

[BoofBonser]

I love these FS1 guys

[Don Walcott]

I’m loving this Cardinals bullpen!

Dear God, Molly's found the formula:

Attempt at least 1 bunt per plate appearance with your 7-8-9 batters 

[IndianaTwin]

Elsewhere in the race to the bottom of the gene pool, Boston’s (and my fantasy team’s) Carson Smith hits the DL after a “right shoulder subluxation” after throwing his glove in the dugout following his last outing...

Huh. Berrios is back out after a long inning. Didn't expect that.

[Don Walcott]

Leaving Berrios in. I like it.

[David HK]

Do you think Bobby poking that one into the stands had anything to do with the Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders ad just above that section?

 

And yes, it should have been Garver in the lineup, because he hit that tater right amongst a group of Cardinal fans.

[Mill1634]

Let him take on the 9 hitter and go get him no matter what. 

[Mill1634]

Great start from JO. Exactly what this team, and he needed. Hopefully this keeps up like his first few of the season did after that dominant performance in Baltimore

[BoofBonser]

unless he's pinch hit for

[Don Walcott]

Bummer. But probably the right decision to take him out.

[IndianaTwin]

I was having second thoughts on the plan to run Berrios out again after how long the inning was, but at least he gets the ovation.

Feel bad for him, but I only liked that post because it happened to a Red Sock.

Not a fan of Molly taking Berrios out here.  Berrios wanted it and has been dealing.  That ball drifted a little inside in an at bat in which Berrios was ahead after striking out the first batter.  Especially in a 3 run game.

 

Guess he doesn't wanna have Berrios go from the stretch--admittedly he's a worse pitcher from the stretch.

Always better to pull the plug too early rather than too late, especially at this point in the game.
