Game Thread 5/22/18 7:10 CDT Twins vs Tigers

[Don Walcott]

Is Gardy complaining about the strike zone?

[David HK]

 

Amazing anyone could walk two in a row with this ump.

And this lineup...

[jud6312]

Boyd fears LaMarre. That's his "injury."

[LaBombo]

 

Is Gardy complaining about the strike zone?

 

Yeah, but at least he's healthier now, so his yelling doesn't make his head look like a beet about to explode in a microwave like it used.

[jud6312]

And now all is right in the world. So long, Frenchy.

[Aggies7]

The fact that there are 4 teams worse than us in RISP is astounding. Can’t imagine how Texas feels hitting .208 w risp

[Aggies7]

Wow

I can.

Just as hopeless as we feel watching the Twins.

[Don Walcott]

Ehire!

[Aggies7]

I can.

When you consider we are somehow at .230 or .240, shines a light on how much worse it could be

[Aggies7]

And the RISP number goes down

[launchingthrees]

Buxton: where rallies go to die.

[LaBombo]

 

Just as hopeless as we feel watching the Twins.

 

Twins felt your pain and hugged you with an RBI, bro.

Edit:

 

Twins have brought you a three run inning to cheer you up:

 

 

 

 

 

[Aggies7]

That’s it. I’ve seen it all

[David HK]

Dozey,  thank you.

 

A big hit to THE OPPOSITE FIELD! And Bux in full flight!

 

We are all grateful. Maybe make this part of your regular repertoire?

[VATwinsFan]

 

In the last 7 games Dozier, Buxton, and Adrianza are a mind-numbing 3 for 46.     3 for 48 if you count tonight.

Note how since I called them out Adrianza and Dozier are 2 for 2 with 3 rbi's.

[David HK]

There we go, at last. Made those walks haunt. And Lynn is dealing right now.

 

But why do I have a sinking feeling that we may still have needed that run Dozey could have scored if not for a good catch...?

[TwinsCD]

Now let's see if Lynn can get out of here quickly and back in the dugout.

[LaBombo]

 

That’s it. I’ve seen it all

 

Now that you've added 'Dozier opposite field RBI' to your Twins Rarities bingo card, it looks like you're only missing 'Mauer takes home run cut at 3-0 pitch'.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Let us not pat ourselves too hard on the back...

 

Someone still has to keep the tigers from scoring.

[TwinsCD]

Just what the doctor ordered.

[LaBombo]

 

Someone still has to keep the tigers from scoring.

 

How about that dentist from Bloomington?

 

Never mind, that was a lion.

[David HK]

Hm.

 

Always entertaining when a player's gameday photo looks like his name. (i.e. Buck Farmer)

 

Is that like visual onomatopoeia or something?

[David HK]

True, but everyone's been calling out Lance Lynn for a while now, so maybe that's already been done.

 

Fingers crossed.

[Squirrel]

If you had two dogs, I imagine during Frenchy's ABs it'd be something like this.

 

That might have been funny if you actually posted a picture of Frenchies instead of pugs.

[USAFChief]

 

For anyone keeping track at home, Ryan LaMarre's career OPS is 162 points lower than Mark Davidson's.

In fairness, who's isn't?

I hope it's not blackout bingo... It's the game that will never end!

[David HK]

Heh... a shout out to "Country" today.

 

Long time coming for that.

[twinssporto]

Sorry I'm late to the party.  Didn't get out of Minneapolis until well past 8.  I was meeting with Lance Lynn about his poor performance since the start of the season.  We had a small session this afternoon before game time about finding your grit, arm angle and picking your spots, etc.  He wanted me to stay through the 5th inning.  I told him all would go well tonight.
