Game Thread: Twins @ Kansas City Royals, 5/30/18 @ 5:15 PM PT (7:15 PM CT)

[Blake]

Well, so much for the correlation between my writing game threads and Twins winning. Ah well, all good things must come to an end. And I guess my Twins and me wining streak is dead.*

 

 

*No idea why there aren't more red shirts in these clips. 

 

 

But, life goes on and we have another fabulous game today. Should be a good one! Maybe the Twins will find the two out rbi hero they were so lacking last night.*

 

 

*Yes, I'd prefer a no-out RBI but, sometimes one cannot really chose the rbi moment.

 

Finally, I'd like to say: I need to get going as I'm running late getting this thread up.* 

 

 

*This is known as filler, as I've nothing to really add at this point.

 

And, with that, I leave you with these random thoughts:

 

 

Some observations from last night:

 

1. I thought the Twins had finally turned the corner when it came to two out rbi's. I thought wrong.

2. Kyle Gibson seems to have turned into the real deal. It's a shame he doesn't have more wins that he does.

3. What's up with Danny Duffy?

4. Last night was a great pitching matchup that, unfortunately just did not go the Twins way.

5. Walking in the tying run. Uggh. Great pitching last night, though. 

 

Play Ball!

Well, Chief did mention tossing a few bowling balls. Sort of makes me wonder who at?

Nah, I'm not worried about Miss Keller. however, that Chitown gal was tough! Though, truth be told, I wasn't really afraid of her either. Swearsies!

Hoping for a funnier, less angry, thread, no matter what happens....

Seven o’clock start times for getaway games is a dick move.

Bremer does the scheduling?

[Squirrel]

Seven o’clock start times for getaway games is a dick move.

Agreed ... especially since they don’t have a day off for a while. At least they’re going home ...

[Squirrel]

Hope you can stick around to help with that ...

Possible. We'll be eating during the middle innings. Grilling cod with homemade pesto, made with carrot greens and basil. Roasted veggies, maybe bread if we still have some.

It’s pretty hot there. Maybe that’s why?

[Don Walcott]

I miss Riverbrian.

You know ... lutefisk is made from cod.

 

You can take the man out of Minnesota, but you can’t take the Minnesota out of the man.

[Don Walcott]

Eddie keeps hitting. Fun to watch.

[Squirrel]

I miss Riverbrian.

You’ll miss him more tomorrow if I do the thread ... just sayin’ ...

[Squirrel]

The two Eddies and Kep are my favorite players.

[Don Walcott]

Eddie keeps running. Fun to watch.

[Squirrel]

You know ... with my cousin on the mound for KC tonight, I may have to keep my cheers for the Twins on subdued mode.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I miss Riverbrian.

Me too.

 

Which shouldn't be a surprise.

 

I wasn't aiming at him.

[Don Walcott]

I’d volunteer, but I’m slammed at work and will be playing soccer tomorrow night. Will try to step up if some people get reasonable and settle some cases on terms favorable to my clients.

Thanks, but I’m off work tomorrow, so will put something together if Brian is unable. But take a look at some of the open dates and let us know which dates you want!
