"Break Glass in case of Game Thread" Twins at Orioles 6:05pm cdt 6/2/2021 ad

Emergency back up game thread intro.

 

Jolly good show what ho, fellow sportsmen!

 

That Dobnak can bowl a bally good game me old fellow! He sure has the wiskers for it say what!

 

And those young whipper snappers in the outfield, they'll give him what for!

 

And i'd rather face the ol' thunderin' judge himself than to hit into that wily infield!

 

All in all a rousting good team yon Twins got and what of their dominable foe?

Thanks, Small Sample Size!

Less than an hour to game time, and we are lineupless?

 

Strange times indeed.

Celestino sighting! Awesome!

It's June and we've got Gordon, Celestino, Larnach and Kirilloff and Jeffers in the lineup. Five rookies! The only name missing is Royce Lewis (rats).

Can't wait to see some young arms up this year also. Would love to see these young guys spark this team.

[wavedog]

Looking forward to seeing what this lineup does.   It may not be much but at least it is a mix of some new and young faces.   Hopefully they don't make Harvey look like an Ace.      

[stringer bell]

OK, yes it is nice to see the young guys get a chance. It is sad that it is due to all of the injuries. Celestino is going to be raw and nervous, but who knows? Nobody thought Baddoo would be as good as he has been for the Tigers.

[denarded]

As Hawk Harrelson would say 'Celestino....Yessss! Hell Yesss!!!! Sano out of lineup. YEsss! Hell Yesss! done with some of these Assclowns, and Donaldson, you're next

Badoo is not exactly 'tearing it up'

I really don't want to defend Baddoo, but his BA fell below .200 after an out of this world start, but when last I checked his BA was back to .250, with an OPS above league average. 

I just checked again and he's hitting .236 (including 1 for his last 10), but has an OPS of .845.

[LVTwinsfan]

Put a few more rookies in the lineup and we’d have a guaranteed win

[stringer bell]

This game will be interesting to watch for curiosity alone. I hope the young guys do well.

[LVTwinsfan]

Anyone remember Harvey Toons? You know Casper the friendly ghost

[stringer bell]

Seriously, I have been wondering when things would bottom out. With the newest injuries, I'm saying this is the bottom. However, maybe we'll see the bottom when they play KC.

[stringer bell]

Now, to be Debbie Downer, I fully expect the Twins won't cash in the leadoff double this inning.

[Mike Sixel]

That's an unexpected lineup, at least from the beginning of the year. Wow.

I too feel the pathos!

[stringer bell]

Smalley's right. Dobnak needs to find secondary pitches.

I'm not going to argue with you on Baddoo. Wrong hill wrong fight. I'm just frustrated with our team. Sorry for taking it out on Twins Daily. I need a reddit or something

[stringer bell]

I hope Jeffers is wearing a double cup, if there is such a thing.

[LVTwinsfan]

Nice play Jorge

Wasn’t Dobnak a bag boy at a grocery store, or was that Kurt Warner

[stringer bell]

Here we go!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

6 center fielders?

 

They are dropping like flies.

Or at least like flies would drop without a center fielder...

[LVTwinsfan]

Man, don’t we have a rookie starter
