Game Thread: Twins @ Angels, 5/23, 3:07 CT

[Blake]

Maybe we could watch something more sporting, like seal clubbing.

[John Kelsey]

Pretty pretty good start. 

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Are the Twins really good or are the teams they are playing really bad?

 

Hung that one for you, chief!

I do think there are more bad teams in baseball this year than is normal. Wait until we get to the Central, oh my.

Matt Harvey: "Solo shots don't hurt you."

[MVP Nick Punto]

Tortoises can live to be over a hundred years old, so I'm not sure if there are any concrete records, but I thought I heard it was Hemingway.

F. Scott, actually

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

About 5 lbs?

You are correct, sir.

[Aggies7]

How do they fit these bats in the racks?

[USAFChief]

I believe they just might really be this good!

 

Son-of-a-*****. I missed my pitch.

[Blake]

 

Matt Harvey: "Solo shots don't hurt you."

Yeah, but 10 shots to the jaw in a row might just leave a mark.

[Aggies7]

The angels broadcast said this was “arguably” harvey’s worst start of the year.

F. Scott, actually

But I was looking for serious answers.

In the GAME THREAD??

 

[MVP Nick Punto]

But I was looking for serious answers.

You think F. Scott Fitzgerald is a joke?

[USAFChief]

 

The angels broadcast said this was “arguably” harvey’s worst start of the year.

Well, his ERA only went up a run, so perhaps there are other candidates for worst start of the year.

[ashbury]

Wait, the other team is allowed to hit a ball over the fence too? This changes everything!

[MVP Nick Punto]

Ope. There it goes. Pack it up, boys, we're out of this one. Forfeit before we really get embarrassed.

But I was looking for serious answers.

 

I typed it with a very stoic expression on my face if that helps.

[Doomtints]

All of those Twins home runs were no doubters at 400'+.

 

I guess the Angels homer is OK at 375' though.

Fitzergald was 5'3" tall. No joke.

You think F. Scott Fitzgerald is a joke?

My favorite quote of his: "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise."  From The Crack-Up.

Fitzergald was 5'3" tall. No joke.

 

Ah, so he didn't meet the height requirements to be a Minnesotan. I always wondered why he left.

[Aggies7]

Perez laboring

[Blake]

My sweet youngest daughter detailed me to watch the chicken and make sure it doesn't burn. I guess she forgot that burned chicken was my specialty.

[Blake]

 

I believe they just might really be this good!

 

Son-of-a-*****. I missed my pitch.

Unlike the pitches Harvey tossed to the Twins.

[wavedog]

Perez is doing a Berrios here - struggling after getting a big lead - will he make 5 innings?

[Blake]

 

Ope. There it goes. Pack it up, boys, we're out of this one. Forfeit before we really get embarrassed.

Are you referring to the game thread or the game?

[wavedog]

Perez not hitting the target last 2 pitches

[MVP Nick Punto]

Are you referring to the game thread or the game?

¿Por qué no Los dos?

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Ah, so he didn't meet the height requirements to be a Minnesotan. I always wondered why he left.

One of his great regrets was that he wasn't big enough to play football for Princeton. I just never realized he was that small.

[wavedog]

Nailed that last one though - way to get out of the inning.
