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

[MVP Nick Punto]

His uncle owns the Cleveland Indians, and has publicly spoke about not being able to "afford" their best player (Lindor) a couple years before he even hits free agency.

Well, why would you want to inspire confidence in your fanbase, clubhouse, or potential free agent pool?

[LaBombo]

Schoop 467, 384 

Polanco 401

Cron 426

Sano 438, 403

Kepler 409

Rosario 419

 

Twins homers have traveled a combined distance of 3,347 feet. Divide by 8 and the average distance is...

 

Holy crap, Schoop hit one 467?!?

 

Ok, fine, 418.3 feet.

 

 

 

[ashbury]

Just checking in and I see that we still need insurance runs.

Your insurance agent must have two boats by now.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Your insurance agent must have two boats by now.

And a knock-off Rolex.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Let's go, Ceej!

.63 miles total

Angels fans: "That's not that CJ Cron, is it??"

The panel would also have accepted, "Didn't you used to be CJ Cron?"

[notoriousgod71]

I like that Cron is visibly agitated at not getting his sixth hit.

[LaBombo]

I know the context he meant it in, but on that last run-scoring single, Bremer said "... and just one run will score".

 

And I couldn't help but think, how many weeks in the past nine seasons have the Twins struggled to score 16 total runs?

Hey, that's a kilometer! (brought to you by Maximilian Kepler)

[Blake]

 

Just checking in and I see that we still need insurance runs.

Were you an umpire at one point in your life? Because that's not the way I see it....

 

 

[ashbury]

 

Ok, you got me. This actually happened to a friend instead of me, but the joke works better if I tell it in the first person...

 

Never pays to be too hip for the room.

[ScooterDance]

Still got something to ply for here. Clean sheet in the 9th and the twins will lead the majors in run differential.

Heh.

 

I think there have been entire series the last few years 16 runs would have been considered a luxury.

[glunn]

The insurance run made for a nice even number.

Really? I'd have thought the odds of that would be astronomical!

[John Kelsey]

Kep Buxton'd that one. 

[Han Joelo]

Just got out of a really boring meeting.  What'd I miss?

 

Ok, I already saw.  Cripes.  Never thought I'd feel bad for opposing teams like I have this year.

[Aggies7]

Don’t be hurt, max

[ashbury]

Probably good since the Twins don't have a closer.

[LaBombo]

I love effort, but we're up by almost two TD's again, Max.

[ScooterDance]

Had to open me mouth

[Aggies7]

Oh FFS

[notoriousgod71]

Naturally, Kepler leaves during this game.

 

Hopefully it's precautionary.

[dgwills]

What the hell

[Aggies7]

Do our guys not know what warning tracks are for?

[MVP Nick Punto]

 

 

Probably good since the Twins don't have a closer.

I'll double up on this one

[John Kelsey]

He'll be out tomorrow but I bet he'll be fine. 

[ashbury]

9th inning...last call for HRs!

Winnar.

[snotboogie]

And tomorrow when I open my MLB Morning Lineup email the headlines will be Yankees, Dodgers and Vlad Jr.
