Game Thread Twins @ Cardinals Doubleheader First Game @ 2:15 PM CST

Oh, I BROUGHT enough for everybody. But then I started eating.

The only logical outcome

At 768, Clippard calls him a whippersnapper. 

Damn, I knew both of these guys had been around for awhile, but I didn't think either of them were that high on the list! And Clippard has never been on the DL/IL in his career either! They're both still incredibly effective as well.

 

They've both got a ways to go to catch Twins favorites Eddie Guardado (908) and LaTroy Hawkins (1,042!)

[FlauerPauer]

 

My only doubt comes from the possibility of some team like the Yankees offering him an ungodly sum of money that the Twins aren't willing to match.

 

I think Cruz likes playing for the Twins and if he wanted more money, he probably could have gotten it when he signed two years ago.

and thats just his bullpen game appearances in 2020!

I wonder how often an MLB player starts a game at 1B and CF in the same week.

Pitcher for Cards, Ponce de Leon didn't find the new world and can't find the strike zone. Good night ahead for the Twins!

What i miss?

[USAFChief]

Interesting trivia: I have the Card's pitcher's rookie card.

 

 

 

 

figured I'd preempt any age jokes.

[TwinsCD]

Just as long as he didn't find the Fountain of Youth and isn't Satchel Paige reincarnated.

It seems like I've read that Clippard is also the first or one of the first to have 11 straight seasons of 60+ innings in relief. 

[FlauerPauer]

Wow! A starter in the second game of the doubleheader!

[FlauerPauer]

Yes, Roy... The record and ERA are real...

[LVTwinsfan]

Looked like an error to me, moot point. (I’m sure I’ll be chastised for saying moot point.)

I give you credit for not saying "mute point"

[TFRazor]

[USAFChief]

Rook.

[LVTwinsfan]

Wow, Bremer

[FlauerPauer]

Alright Rooker!!!

If my point was mute, then no one could hear it

[USAFChief]

Mrs Chief has been getting tired of my, uh....sense of humor. Just this morning, she looked at me and said "I'm sick of the dad jokes. Just stop."

 

"How can I?" I asked.

 

"Any means necessary."

 

"Nope," I said. "It does not."
