Game Thread: Twins v Cleveland, 5/31 @ 7:10pm CT

[Han Joelo]

My Gameday has mercifully frozen up. Can't keep up with the scoring, I guess.

The Twins are in the same division as the Indians.

 

 

The Twins are not in the same league as the Indians.

 

yarnivek, out.

 

btw, I mentioned about a month ago that my wife and I were working toward adopting a teenaged girl. On Saturday we will officially take over her foster care and start down the path to adoption.

That is truly awesome, and much more meaningful than a silly baseball game.

Boy, it feels like we're picking up right off from the 2016 season. Did the 2017 season even happen?

 

So I think it's safe to say that Cleveland is as good as some of us thought here, it'd simply take them a bit to heat up. They have the talent to easily win this division.

[Han Joelo]

Okay, I see they got the last out. Took half the team to do it, but still.

[Han Joelo]

I'm going camping out of cellphone range again this weekend. When I get back, I expect to see big changes. And I'm not talking about a two game winning streak.

I think it’s time to make some moves like we did last year. A message needs to be sent to this club that time is running out, especially for Molitor.

[OTPS300]

 

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.

When Molitor was named manager, people rejoiced because now the team will play solid fundamental baseball, especially on the base paths. Molitor had great instincts as a player, but instincts can't be taught. I don't see anything positive from this team that I can credit to Molitor. Sorry to say this folks but I am starting to miss Gardy.

My bad. I closed Gameday to eat, and when I turned it bask on, it was in English..... Just before Cleveland remembered how to hit

Like different colored shoes?

[USAFChief]

Lindor is way too pull happy. He needs to take two and slap it softly the other way.

Rogers gets through the inning...

Don't you ever get tired of taking pot shots at Mauer and does it need to happen in games threads (especially in games when Mauer isn't even playing)?

Is this a double negative? Complaining about the other team not playing up to their potential?

 

I am not worthy!

[insert levity here]

This is one of favorites. Bought them in Vienna and I wear them a lot.

 

Who said sneakers have to be bland and boring?

 

Fluevog is still a genius, even if he is Canadian

[jimmer]

Way to go Escobar!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Escobar!!

 

Now bring him home.

[David HK]

Come on, gang!  

 

Let's mount another of those improbable comebacks that inevitably come up a few runs short!

They are holding back till I get there for the next three games.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Still haven't figured out what i think of pointed toe shoes.

 

Is there some facet i don't appreciate?

That bottom pair looks familar

[Squirrel]

And these ... these are older and I’ve had them for about 15 years. I refer to them as my clown shoes, for obvious reasons, at least to me ... because they look like big clown shoes. I bought them in Berlin and still wear them. They are comfort shoes.

Yeah, the photo of those was posted with intent. Be afraid ... be very afraid ... you do not want to get a kick in the ass with those.

Indeed.

 

But that applies to most any shoes.

[twinssouth]

Just saw where Odorizzi was at 120 pitches thru 5. Is Molly trying blow his arm out.

Bowling shoes are the bomb. I have designed some and maybe can figure out how to post pictures from the old catalog.

[twinssouth]

Whoops. My mistake. Game day updated showed Odorizzi at 92 at 3.2. What the heck. Weird things going on with my iPad.

Odorizzi went 3.2 with 92 pitches. 

 

Bad enough, but not 120.

Where did you see that? Odorizzi didn’t even complete 4.
