Anyone seen chief?? We could use a good, okay, average, okay, marginal, joke right about now.

[ashbury]

Pathetic ... Go down 1-2-3 to this team hopping joker like a dog to pentobarbital.

I missed the meeting where the code book was handed out, you're going to have to re-transmit in plaintext.

[rkevin]

Bremer and Smalley sound like they are announcing an evening at the Roxy.

 

"That was a very very nice pitch."

"He played that grounder off the wrong hop."

"Good comeback by Gibson."

"With a side salad that would be a wonderful 3-course meal."

 

Okay, I made up that last one.

 

 

[LaBombo]

 

We do know that Edwin Jackson stinks right??

 

Yup. Just need to get Edwin and MLB on board with the idea.

 

His career died in 2013 but nobody told it to lie down, so it just keeps wandering out to random AAA and MLB mounds from time to time, scouting for a final resting place.

I missed the pregame show. Did anyone explain why Gibson wears a dark cap while all his defenders have white?

Yesterday they said pitchers cant wear all white-  ball deal

[Halsey Hall]

our starting pitching has gone into the sewer.  We need a lot of runs tonight, so best start hitting.

I just invented a new word: Plagiarism!

Dont know where Chief is, but I could pull out some old Readers Digests, and read jokes from those?

Tigers' hitters are really taking good batting practice against Twins pitchers. Twins hitters are making Tigers' starting pitchers look like all-stars.

I said this in a previous game thread and I rarely post. I'm done with Gibson. The Nibbler should be used as a set up man or , well i guess there's nothing else we can do with him

[Halsey Hall]

What's with the colored bats?  They don't seem to be working.

Never let Sean Connery teach your dog to sit.

 

Ok, that covers 'marginal'; everyone else pick a level and have at it.

It's hard to believe Edwin Jackson has allowed one hit thus far and Gibson has allowed 7.

 

I know we needed starting pitching at the deadline, but if the FO knew that Berrios and Gibson were both going to implode in August, I think they would have done more. This isn't an attempt to exonerate the FO... it's just... baseball is so random and weird sometimes. Is it fatigue? Low effort? Are they just straight-up choking? Pitch effectiveness suddenly faded away?

[mrtwinsfan]

I keep wanting to hear Bremer do a brockmeir,  if we get swept tomm. 

[MNT1996]

Target Field sounds dead. Need the boys to get some excitement going in there.

[Aggies7]

68 pitches to get 11 outs against a team that is 20 for their last 87. I don’t know what to call that that won’t get me banned

[ashbury]

Gift to Gibby from the umpire. Don't give it back.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

There goes Gibby nibbl—oh never mind, strike three on the corner

[jz7233]

Twins might not want to sign Gibson next season. Time to move on.

[LaBombo]

Well, that's embarrassing.

[LVTwinsfan]

Clown show

[Aggies7]

ARE YOU KIDIDNG ME YOU BUMS

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Huh?

[ashbury]

Throwing behind the runner heading for home!? Kangaroo Kourt time!

[operation mindcrime]

How friggin embarrassing!!!!!

[GCTF]

Where do I sign up to receive my pitchfork?

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

The Tigers must be really good this year.

[MNT1996]

Holy **** this defense

[mrtwinsfan]

wtf was that Jorge ????????????????????????

[Nine of twelve]

Bonehead play by Polanco. Throw home, you lamebrain!
