Game Thread: Twins vs Rangers, 7:10pm cdt 6/22/2018 ad

With Sano down there, our high A team might have a better 4-5-6.

Kiriloff-Sano-Lewin Diaz?

 

(ok, that's their 3-4-5 not 4-5-6)

Dear Jack Morris,

 

We understand that you think baseball was better "back in your day."  That stance doesn't need to be reiterated every 30 seconds.

 

Thanks,

Everybody watching on FSN

Maybe he should kneel when he runs the bases. He looks way faster on his knees than he does on his feet.

Oh c'mon now, don't be ridiculous.

 

...

 

They're exactly the same.

[wsnydes]

Time to get a drink

I'm two scotches in... you're behind!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Good news: an Esco-bear appearance

[USAFChief]

 

Time to get a drink

Figures we get Morris tonight instead of Blyleven.

 

Can't even play the usual "drink" game.

Boy,oh boy, though, is Morneau good in the booth. So knowledgeable and not lording-it-over-you, like some color announcers, names not needing a mention.

 

Why can't we have more of him on the broadcasts?

What did I miss - Belisle pitching - time to get another drink

[Nine of twelve]

Hey everybody! Pay attention! We're about to see the last major league appearance of Matt Belisle. I hope.

He is probably rehearsing his HOF speech -- he knows who his audience will be

I thought he was already gone

From your keyboard to Falvine's...eyes, I guess.

[wavedog]

Good defensive play by Belisle

[David HK]

He was.  

 

But being in the Twins' BP should not actually count as the "major leagues."

[nicksaviking]

Good defensive play by Belisle

Can he play RF?

[wavedog]

I thought he should have been thrown out but clearly safe

[KirbyDome89]

Don't get our hopes up....

[wavedog]

All these lefties and Zach Duke not available?

[USAFChief]

Not to worry, you'll have time for several drinks.

[Aggies7]

This is a butt kickin.

[wavedog]

Are we trying to lose on purpose?

[wavedog]

Looks like Belisle is good for an automatic 3 spot each inning

[wavedog]

Sorry 4 spot

[Aggies7]

Jeepers cats, this dude just doesn’t have it. At all

[VATwinsFan]

And the death spiral begins to accelerate....

[mrmpls]

Gotta be the last time we see this MATT B. pitch, hope anyway

[nicksaviking]

Is it wrong that my affinity for Beltre and my hope to have Belisle removed had me cheering for Beltre in that situation during an already lost game?

[Nine of twelve]

Falvine should come to the clubhouse after this game, shake Belisle's hand, congratulate him on a good major league career and wish him well in his future endeavors.

[bronald3030]

There are too many players on the Twins roster that would not be on any other team's roster.

[drock2190]

I'm really confused by this Belisle thing. 

 

Bullpen has been okay and we pick this guy up the scrap heap despite having better options in Triple A. Sure, they aren't great but they are better then these performances.
