Game Thread: Twins vs. Angels 1:10pm CDT 6/10/2018 AD

Not that I disagree with your post, Chief.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

For a lineup that features only two players with a BA over .240, they need all the help they can get. He may not be an impact player anymore, but he's at least competent. That's more than you can say about 7/9 of this lineup on any given day.

at least until this inning

I have this icky feeling that the HR is going to be the only time the twins bats sniff a run. I don't like that feeling.

Triples are fun.

[USAFChief]

 

A big part of that "weak bench" is (and has been) hitting 3rd today.

I rest my case.

 

Even if Esco isn't a bench player.

No, the joke is that after Chief gets enough suckers to bet on the Over, thinking they have the inside information, Chief can threaten to use his moderator powers to delete posts left and right.

[wsnydes]

He would certainly help. But I don't consider him a "big deal" any more.

Bigger deals are the struggles of Dozer, Sano, and Buxton, and the weak bench the Twins started the season with.

I'd agree with you there. A good Mauer is more of a bonus than what should be expected. Plus, with anybody that doesn't have Eddie for a first name struggling, missing Mauer is not the main reason that the bats are struggling.

 

Perhaps everyone should change their name to Eddie. It's worth a shot at this point I think.

[USAFChief]

We could use a hit here, Rosario.

[wsnydes]

at least until this inning

Small sample size.

"threaten??"

Mods would like, cheat and steal in order to get what they want?

 

Cool. 

 

Do you have a newsletter?

"threaten??"

Exactly. Chief then offers side bets the other way too, and when everything is totted up, he makes sure money on the vig.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Escobar. Seriously, this guy!

[Jerr]

My favorite hit. Love watching the runner flying around and the relays trying to get him.

[Danchat]

Gotta give credit to Adrianza, his average is up to .242 and he's had considerable more pop in his bat the past week or two. 

 

Also, seeing Rosario taking a called strikeout is weird. But at least we have clutch Escobar backing up him!

Newsletter? Hello-ooo, the monthly Twins Daily newsletter is how I heard about this site!

OPS higher than Garver, Grossman, and Morrison coming in to today.

 

Which says more about those three than Adrianza, IMO.

I clicked Like, just so that your typo would come true.

Checks or cash not accepted?????

Actually, after I posted I noticed the typo and thought, what the heck? Works either way.

All bettors holding winning tickets, cash them quickly. After I flag Chief as a spammer, all his posts will be summarily removed by the site software, and the count will be down somewhere around 7 again.

that .242 puts him 3rd highest in today's lineup - better than Kepler, Sano, basically anyone not named Ed....

I had the over! What did I win??????                 

[wsnydes]

I hope he accepts cash. I have about 5,000 pennies that I'm unsure of what to do with.

[Danchat]

Kepler now has a 31/36 BB/K ratio, which is pretty solid, though his average is still disappointing. Does anyone else think he should be leading off instead of Grossman?

Dunno.

 

Nobody has ever asked that question before.

He's probably dealing with those credit cards first, I'm sure he'll get around to us.
