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

Heck of a pickoff move by Flaherty. Baserunners beware.

Probably a big surprise, too.  I 'spose they don't talk about stuff like pickoff moves during a pre-game meeting or anything, do they?  

 

Major leaguers.

 

Heh... reminds me of my daze playing old-man ball in LA.  I was coaching first one time, runner on- who happened to be a bass player in a band, and was deaf in one ear from standing next to the speakers (probably up to 11).  Lefty on the mound.

"Stay close to the bag, and watch his move," I says.  He turns to me, still standing off the base, so he can hear what I just said in his good ear.  "Huh?"

Whap!  Fired a strike to the 1st baseman, who tagged him in the chest as he stood there, head turned away from the field.

 

Was Adrianza's anything like that?

5. Mother’s Day:The Kids and I took my wife out to dinner for Mother’s Day. Every time we go out to eat, she declines dessert and eventually grabs a spoon and takes bites out of mine. Now she is upset with me because I had her sign a binding agreement stating that if she declined her own dessert she gives up any claims to mine.

 

 

How ticked do you think she’ll be when she finds you posted this exchange on TD?

[Aggies7]

I’ve been watching a Netflix documentary to keep me awake while watching this disaster of an offense. I suggest you do the same

[Mike Sixel]

Way to make the pitcher work....

Nope, the binding agreement has a clause about "not being ticked if..."

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Grossman catches that

 

 

*ducks*

[Aggies7]

Great job max

[Danchat]

Well, we got good Berrios back, too bad the offense is a rotting corpse at this point.

[David HK]

Why is Bobby Baby behind the plate today?

 

Is he Jose's personal catcher?

 

Or is Molly not noticing the difference between BA's of nearly 200 points difference, with a team that's struggling to score runs right now?

 

Nothing against Bobby, I dig the guy.  

 

I just kind of want my team to win sometimes.

"Hey!"

 

"Don't compare us to the Twins offense like that!"

 

[Brock Beauchamp]

I really like this new (old) version of Rosario that doesn't swing at garbage pitches.

Day game tomorrow. It's Wilson either tonight or tomorrow, pick your poison.

[IndianaTwin]

At the least, this at bat by Rosario probably chases Flaherty after the inning.

Though sooner would be fine.

a tiny bit higher on the bat and that was a monster home run

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yep, and I typed that post before the hit. He laid off two bad pitches to start the at-bat.

 

Also, Escobar!

[IndianaTwin]

Yeah, like that.

[Mill1634]

Thanks for leaving that pitcher in. We finall score. Go twins.

[Danchat]

Good Escobar! It's about darn time!!

[Don Walcott]

Esco-bear!!

[David HK]

Argh.  

 

Yeh.

 

I don't like either of those poisons.

[Brock Beauchamp]

And Rosario was going to try for an extra 180 feet on that hit.

 

Sigh.

[Aggies7]

My god a 2 out rbi

[Mike Sixel]

Phew. Was wondering if that would every happen

[David HK]

OK, Kep against a rough tough lefty to prolong the 2-out rally.

 

Lightning in a bottle, anyone?

Sigh.

And I LOVE that about him.

I had a similar reaction in my sr year of high school

You lost me at the CAPITAL letters

[yarnivek1972]

File this away for tomorrow’s game: Angel Hernandez is at first base tonight. That means he’ll be behind the plate tomorrow.

 

Yippe!

I almost went there...
