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

[David HK]

I like Addison Reed.

 

He's got 'tude.

 

And his photo on Gameday looks like he's one of Henry Fonda's killer henchmen in Once Upon a Time in the West.

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

 

There's plenty of time this thinking leads to the bullpen giving up runs coming in cold with men on base.  Berrios wanted this inning bad you saw how animated he was.  He was calling for that inning even when it was tied.

Great job by Reed. That is why you pull JO right there. Lets get at least one more so I can enjoy a win AND don't have to watch Rodney

Pick one.

Pick one.

The win, obviously. 

[Mike Sixel]

I agree with pulling Berrios.

[DocBauer]

Arrived late. Too nice outside not to go for an evening run. Just in time to see the big inning. Hell of a bunt by Buxton! Unbelievable homer by Wilson! Looks like Berrios is back!

 

Liked Berrios going out for the 8th. Too bad he was pulled but I think the right call after such a great performance and to avoid pitching from the stretch.

 

Nice game Twins!

[Mill1634]

Why does Rodney not use that changeup more?

[Nine of twelve]

WINNAH!!!

[Blake]

Winner:

I think I’ll play a little music while I go pick up some chicken...

Twins win!!!!!

 

Offense breaks out late, Berrios dominates. Twins pitchers strike out 12. Bobby Wilson provides punch with 2 run homer. Rodney works a clean inning. Twins within .5 of the indians.

 

Have a goodnight y'all. See ya in 14 hours.

 

Go Twins!

[Danchat]

That was quite the pitching performance - the Cardinals had just 2 hits in the whole game. Good show, pitchers!

[Shaitan]

I "watch" more Gameday than real live feeds sadly, but it seems that Rodney throws like 80% of his pitches for strikes every time he's out there.

[Blake]

Romero,Berrios and Gibson are looking looking like a rather formidable starting 3 with Odorizzi looking pretty good as the 4th guy.

 

Need Lance to get things going.

Santana, May and Gonsalves say hello.

Uncle Bob will be out of here in 17 hours pouting about a season series loss. Target Field will have about 50 hours to air out, and the staff has that same window to unclog all the toilets. Thanks, Uncle Bob. Then the Brew Crew and their fans come in for a long weekend of happy drunkenness. Go Twins!!!

 

Note: Yes, I unapologetically stole RiverBrian's Uncle Bob persona.
