And now I feel silly for wondering if it would be worth it to turn on the Twins game and pull up the TD game thread...  Probably wouldn't have picked up on this until tomorrow otherwise.  Thank you, possibly in Australia twins fan!

You're welcome. Yes I am in Australia.

Can we call the other bullpen dudes by the names of delicious pastries as well?

Ralph Glazed Jr.? 

Luke Fritter?

Tyler Muffin?

It might make it more enjoyable to talk about them getting lit up, at the expense of an occasional drive to the neighborhood convenience store for  2/99¢ bismarcks

You mean you didn't come here for the wisdom and clarity of thought?

how about just naming them all 'creampuff'?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton on base again!

Let the good times roll!

 

(especially if there is jelly or cinnamon involved)

Then you'll love our bullpen.  Nobody else does!

[RickOShea]

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Grip it and rip it! Woo!

No one works harder at accomplishing so little, as Sano.

Opponent’s batters do too

[LaBombo]

Will Detective Coulombo come out for the 6th so the Twins can give up "Just one more run..."

 

 

Edit:  Answer to my question is looking like 'Yes'...

[stringer bell]

Anyway, I've been watching but away from the site. 

Kepler with a couple of soft hits, he probably deserves a bunch more of them given his low BABIP . Buxton limited to a single on a sure double and then doesn't advance to third on a single up the middle. No harm there, but rather comical. 

Coulombe gets checked for "sticky stuff" when he hasn't thrown a pitch to the plate. Weird! Now he gets to hit and fans.

Really long ball game between two non-contenders.

[LaBombo]

Wake me up if MLB institutes a pitch clock during this at bat.

[Squirrel]

Goodness ... 3 hours in ... top of the 7th is next ... zzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzz

[Squirrel]

Twins pitchers have been really flattening the Cubs' pitchers

[LaBombo]

Offensive bullpen holding the lead...

[Danchat]

Well, Garver's picking up where he left off. He nearly hit a HR in his first AB, too!

[LaBombo]

I'd feel worse about checking my fingernails four times in the past 2 innings to see if they need clipping if it weren't for the fact that a ton of people who paid good money for infield seats have gone home or didn't show.

It's a sucky ballpark to sit through a game this long
