Game Thread: Twins vs. Baltimore, 5/25/21 @ 6:40pm

[LaBombo]

No matter how hard I try not to, I still get disappointed when I hear the 'Still D.R.E.' walkup music and don't get to see Alonzo take a turn at bat...

Last place? (Instead of merely tied for last place.)

I don't think I've seen a comment on here yet that garnered 4 different reactions ... thanks, like, laugh, sad ... well done

[Aggies7]

“Berrios needs a nice clean inning here”

(one second later) berrios nails the first batter he faces 

[IndianaTwin]

Gladden: That hit him on the knuckle bone on his wrist. Um...

I'll take "musical references I don't have a clue about" for $300, Alex.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

No reason for Berrios to pitch inside there, no reason for that batter to lean his damn wrists into the pitch just for a free base...

Ouch. That's prolly gonna require surgery.

[Aerodeliria]

I am the usually the first to say leave a starter in longer, but in this case, I feel that Berrios is not really pitching very effectively (despite the fielding miscue). I would pull him.

Call me the utility commenter.  OK at everything, not real good at anything.

Featured in Training Day... it's worth it just for Denzel's Oscar-winning performance.

A quandary that: what reputable Surgeon would operate on a wrist knuckle bone?

Nobody wanted him to get through the sixth cleanly more than me, so I could do the In-Your-Face dance to everyone 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

It was “not his night” let’s say 

[Heinie Manush]

I want him  to be an ace so it’s easy  to overlook a really decent start. Credit where credit is due.

Pssst. Answer in the form a question...

[wabene]

RRRROBBIE!

[Vanimal46]

Not too shabby for a dude playing out of position at CF. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Buxton catches that 

[Aggies7]

I might have said it earlier, but refsnyder was in AAA back when I worked in MILB in like 2014. Hard to believe he’s now the big contributor for the twins

When are you going to try out for the ballet?

I'd come to see that.

 

PS. I heard on the radio recently about National Tap Dancing Day (or was it week?)

[mikelink45]

Okay - I have held back, but what is the deal with our great fielding SS.  He makes great plays and then he flops on others.  He has had errors that are recorded and others that are not.  I am disappointed.  I am also disappointed with how we have handled the Orioles.  We may and probably will win, but we have made more work than we should have.

If Al Newman rates a bobblehead then I think you've got a shot.

Oh, I'd love to see an Oscar winning performaaaaance.

 

That is what I'd truly love to see-ee-ee.

 

For if I saw an Oscar winning performance.

 

I'd get the reference to the doctor dre.

Are you referring to Severino's popup? Radio guys described it as intentional to try getting the double play. At the least, it meant having a catcher on first rather than Mountcastle.

Oh, we're sorry. Incorrect. 

 

What's on second.
