Game Thread Tigers @ Twins 1:10 & 7:10pm cdt 5/11/2019ad

[Aggies7]

Thought for sure that was gone. We need about 8 more runs

[howeda7]

Gonsalves isn't pitching at AAA. Is he hurt? It looks like the best alternative to Stewart is Littell. Eew. I'd rather give Mejia a shot. 

[70charger]

White knuckle affair with Stewart on the mound.

[drivlikejehu]

I'm ready for the Smeltzer era.

[wabene]

CRON/M!

I know Stewart is only 24 but his MILB stats do not suggest that he will be successful at the big league level.

Yes, he's hurt. Yes on Mejia

[MMMordabito]

I think we've found a couple pitchers for the St. Paul Saints.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Soto lands as awkwardly at Liriano.

Yup, Gonsalves is hurt and might return at the end of May. Littell does seem like the best alternative at this point, as not only will Mejia need a rehab period, but if we're using him as a starter, he'll need time to ramp up innings.

Stewart's woes have more to do with his pitching than it did with Houston lineup.... it is becoming apparent.

[LaBombo]

 

If I can't get that song out of my head I'm going to be swearing too.

 

No problem, I've got the perfect fix. You need another 80's song to get in there and duke it out...

 

"KarmaKarmaKarmaKarmaKarma Chameleon!"

[Mill1634]

Good bounce back inning by Kohl

[wabene]

Yeah I like Mejia more than Stewart but hey so do the TWINS!

I've been trying to come up with as many things as I can about Stewart that match the projections the Twins were banking on back when they drafted him.

 

So far I've got two...

 

1. Is a mammal.

 

2. Appears to favor right hand for most tasks.

[wabene]

if Stewie can get through this one and the next well then we gotta lay off

[howeda7]

OK. That's enough Stewart for tonight...

I think I really want to hurt you.

 

[wabene]

Nice

[stringer bell]

Pitch count would indicate that Stew could at least start the 6th. It is the bottom of the order.

[wabene]

Even nicer! Eddie!

[ScrapTheNickname]

Clap outloud!

[Mill1634]

Fantastic bunt by Eddie

[Mill1634]

CRON CRUSHED!!!!!!!!!!

[wabene]

Crom!

[70charger]

That was a bullet!

[Gibby]

 Holy cripes Cron!

[wabene]

Efin right

[stringer bell]

Time to break it open.
