This thread is worthless without dogs.

Picture of my dog when he was a pup..

[OTPS300]

Good job there by LaMarre.

[yarnivek1972]

23 pitches. 1 out.

 

Who gets called up tomorrow?

[mickeymental]

twins have em right where they want em.

[Winston Smith]

Did anyone think that on June 1st the Twins would be looking up at the Tigers in the standings?

23 pitches. 1 out.

Who gets called up tomorrow?

Busenitz/Moya/Gonsalves/Littell  (don't know how much rest they've had). Plenty of options...

[jtkoupal]

So... How many touchdowns will Kirk Cousins throw this season, guys?

No. Not even a little.

[jimmer]

 

I think he got demoted?

From Boston :-)

[VATwinsFan]

If Odorizzi can hold the Indians to 5 runs next inning the Twins will be ahead of where they were yesterday.

Baby steps, people.

Only 3 runs...

 

We got this!

[Squirrel]

More purple shoes!

 

[mrmpls]

Can we have a Mulligan on that whole 1st inning??

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sadly, i got my exciting double play...

[Danchat]

Gameday is telling me after every bat: "in play, run(s)". Please stop!

[Han Joelo]

After I posted the Aliens pictures, I remembered what Ripleys solution to the whole mess: Nuke it from orbit.

 

I'm thinking she was right.

[Han Joelo]

The Twins seem to be employing the opposite strategy as the Rays. Have their starter face the top of the lineup as often as possible early in the game.

[David HK]

Eddie R.

 

We've got one guy who's playing actual baseball these days.

 

One.

I can’t believe we’ve gone this far into the GDT without a Justin Beiber reference. Or, did I miss it?

The old nine pitch inning for Bieber. Waco needs a vacation. That should read Esco.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Is it now worthmore?

depends on the final score.

[SydneyTwinsFan]

To be fair to the Cleveland rookie, he's been scorching the minor leagues this year. 1.10 ERA and 61/3 K/BB in AA and AAA.

Aggressive promotion by the Indians after just 5 AAA starts

[diehardtwinsfan]

So... How many touchdowns will Kirk Cousins throw this season, guys?

I'm going with less than 10. Given the Viking's investment in their line, Cousins will be out for the season by week 5.

[Mill1634]

Nice little bounceback by Jake. Offense has to show up against this noob

Isn't making fun of someone just because of their name beneath us?

 

Although it sometimes takes a lot of them just to get it out of our system, to rise up to that standard.

Concur.

Big fan of aggressive promotions.

[USAFChief]

I turned on the game just in time to see Rosario back-picked off first.

 

Seriously...that's not "cute." It's not "Just Eddie being Eddie." It's not "just being aggressive." 

 

It's way too often, and it needs to stop. Is Molitor in charge of this team? Or is Eddie?

 

There are plenty of things causing the Twins to lose that aren't his fault. Some things not anyone's fault.

 

Playing stupid baseball is not one of those things.

[Mike Sixel]

I switched gameday to Espanol.... So far, it has confused Cleveland's offense.
