[mickeymental]

is this the second game of a doubleheader?

Unfortunately, we have...

I'm shocked. I thought they had done about with that SHYT!

[Vanimal46]

I didn’t expect to watch this game live after work. Pace of play off to a roaring start in 2021!

[LVTwinsfan]

I'm not even mad. Being a Minnesota sports fan this year (Gophers BB and T-Wolves) has prepared me for this moment.

Go Bulldogs

Just THIS year?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, that sucked.

[Diesel]

 

Unfortunately, we have...

I fooled myself

[LaBombo]

 

With talent but heavily drinking? (at least for O'Toole -- not sure about Gielgud, but I will go with the unfair assumption that many of the British actors of that time were drinking).

 

Couple more of these and he'll enter Richard Burton Happy Hour territory.

[Aggies7]

Astudillio doesn’t strike out much*

It was fun for the most part, until it got not fun fast.

[LaBombo]

 

At least we've got our pen set up for extra innings.

 

[USAFChief]

I'm already done with Morneau.

[Aggies7]

Just put it in play somewhere

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Well, that sucked.

past tense?

[Aggies7]

The cold weather got the twins thinking this is october, certainly playing like it 

[USAFChief]

I've been told strikeouts are just like any other out.

 

Not sure I buy it.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Hader is good, you ever notice that?

[Aggies7]

It only hurts when I breathe

[Cap'n Piranha]

Maybe we should have saved Rogers for the actual high leverage situation.

[MNT1996]

Sure they might have Hader, but we got an Uber driver (with a killer mustache)

[USAFChief]

Not to worry, Dobnak gets K's now.

[Vanimal46]

“Just bunt or hit it the other way like the good old days.”

 

As Josh Hader throws a 100 MPH bullet top of the zone. Hitting is hard.

[Brock Beauchamp]

****, Hader is a beast.

[Aggies7]

 

Sure they might have Hader, but we got an Uber driver (with a killer mustache)

Maybe he can drive everyone home in a few minutes (reverse jinx)

[LVTwinsfan]

I think it was Brewers announcer who said the Twins don’t have real dominant pitching so they’ll have to rely on offense to win. Sounds like 81-81.

[ScrapTheNickname]

This *^&&^&*(^&*^( rule calls for innovation. Bunt him to third, put the ball in play, game over? Twins method? Swing and miss.

[LaBombo]

 

Hader is good, you ever notice that?

 

Nothing like striking out on the 100mph fastball of the Goatee Collector's Edition of Barbie Princess ...

[ashbury]

I step away with one away in the bottom of the ninth to finish preparing dinner and enjoy it with Mrs Ash, and come back to find WHAT DO YOU MEAN COMMERCIAL BREAK IN PROGRESS OH BLOODY HELL COLOME WHAT DID YOU DO??????
