Dad joke.

Wouldn't that be a granddad joke in your case?

[Nine of twelve]

Double double!

[LaBombo]

 

Not sure why you don’t score from 2nd on that hit but maybe gunshy from last night. 

 

Yup, that's what happens when the last guy you sent home rounded third at a rate of movement that was visible only with time-lapse photography.

[Blake]

 

Enjoy your youth. Before you know it, you'll be saying things like "I remember when Byron Buxton stole 40 bases in a row" and people will say "okay gramps, enough about those 2019 Twins already. Do you need a nap?"

I always need a nap.

 

Now get off my lawn!

[LaBombo]

 

Sarcasm statement of the night:  Wow! When Cruz is in the lineup we score runs and good things happen.

 

Was that it for sarcasm in the whole thread, or do we each get one? 'Cause I got a feeling about the bullpen.

[Blake]

 

Pizza ranch

FOR
THE
WIN

Marnie, is that you?

What can be said about our bullpen that hasn't already been said?

I'm not sure I can be sarcastic about the bullpen. I don't think it's funny at all!

[wsnydes]

What can be said about our bullpen that hasn't already been said?

"What a solid, dependable and shutdown bullpen!"

Now, now, this is the sarcasm thread.

 

The fantasy thread is two columns over second paragraph on the right.

"What this bullpen needs is more Tyler Duffer!"

 

Is that more appropriate?

[wabene]

Polanco can do it all. Pound for pound the best hitter on the team.

[PDX Twin]

I think we are all waiting for the OII (Odorizzi Implosion Inning). Will it be now, or next inning, or the one after? We know it's coming ...

[wabene]

We're watching anyway

[snotboogie]

Apropro of nothing really but Provus on the radio just pronounced St. Olaf as “Ol-off” not “Ol-uff”. Not a native, doncha know.

[wabene]

Odo's got about 28 bullets left

So I was close, at least. Thought it was going to be the Odorizzi Implosion Index...

 

He's missed a lot of bats tonight, so I'm thinking no worse than Castle Bravo.

Seems like Odorizzi has been pitching for about 3 days. Good news is he has made it through 4 innings

Oh, you had to ask. You HAD to ask.

Do we take Kepler's +++ defense for granted?

[operation mindcrime]

I don't think we should let Stinkorizzi pitch in the 6th! That might be playing with fire!

[ashbury]

The wind is a problem tonight. Might be keeping a few flies in the park, but is a challenge to track the ball since the instinct is you never want to get burned. Kepler did well to reach that one.

[Mill1634]

Solid night for Cruz. He should be in the lineup EVERYNIGHT we are playing in an AL ballpark. 

[LaBombo]

Maybe the rain has made him less flammable tonight.

[ashbury]

 

Well, two good eyes, but you know what I mean.

[ashbury]

2/15/2000 Elvis Luciano was born. I've got socks older than him. Scratch that - some of my socks have holes older than him.

[mickeymental]

odorizzi is the frying pan. bullpen is the fire.

On a related note, several Twins went with rideshare to get to the park today...
