I've noticed that when umps call more balls on the borderline pitches, these games last longer...

It's almost like you are on to something...

[wsnydes]

Indians get Josh Donaldson.

[nicksaviking]

Mine too!

Do we blame the Russians?

You mean thank?

 

I'm digging the Swayze.

[wsnydes]

You mean thank?

 

I'm digging the Swayze.

Fair point. I know my wife is more interested in the TV all of a sudden. Not sure that's good or bad though.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Indians get Josh Donaldson.

Don't tell Chief

[wsnydes]

Don't tell Chief

We're on the internet, I'm sure nobody will notice.

I just saw on the bottom crawl on the screen that Goodrum hit his 15th home run. I know Sano was down for a while but I would never have guessed Goodrum would have more HR than Sano at this point of the year.

[wavedog]

Even their worse player tattoos our pitcher - looks like I picked the wrong night to not drink.

[VATwinsFan]

A whole month of this to look forward to.  

 

I am SOOOO excited.

[wavedog]

I hope that is scored an error

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Little bit of Gold Glovin' by Mauer there

 

Anyone have an Arcia gif handy?

[yarnivek1972]

I think Gonsalves will be done after 4.

[Danchat]

Don't worry, they scored it a single, because nothing can be an error anymore.

[wsnydes]

Dish back to the right channel and I think I might want Dirty Dancing back...

[yarnivek1972]

These are the types of things that happen when pitch # 90 is being thrown in the 4th inning.

[wavedog]

A whole month of this to look forward to.  

 

I am SOOOO excited.

Being down here in Texas I don’t get to see the Twins play much and that certainly appears to be a blessing this year. At some point you question why the heck am I watching this crap. And another error.

This is Howie Baseball

Time to fall off the wagon

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Gimme some Gold Glovin' Jorge

[yarnivek1972]

Sigh

[wsnydes]

Now I really wish I was still watching Dirty Dancing...

[yarnivek1972]

I think Gonsalves will be done after 4.

Or not.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Well, that's what you get when your defense gives away like 7 outs in one inning

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I think Gonsalves will be done after 4.

optimist?

[wavedog]

I was thinking of going to this game - so glad I didn’t. Gonsalves didn’t help himself but neither did the defense or the home plate umpire. All around embarrassing effort by all.

[yarnivek1972]

Now I really wish I was still watching Dirty Dancing...

I’m not having the time of my life.

 

But, that moonshot, she’s like the wind.

 

And now, eyes hungry.

[Linus]

With that stuff, Gonsalves needs to improve his control dramatically if he is going to be a successful big league pitcher

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I'm not ever going to run a search on this to confirm, but it seems like Polanco's errors are usually costly and lead to huge innings.

[bird]

 

Has my dish been hacked? Directv switched from the Twins game to Dirty Dancing.

 

 

Better of two evils

[VATwinsFan]

For the record, I hereby withdraw my prediction that Twins will finish 82-80.
