GAME THREAD: Twins vs Tigers, 4/27/22, 6:40 CT

[RpR]

Falef, well, you asked but that post had nothing to do with him, but his BA of .296 a good bit better than Correa's .179; as far as fielding Simmons( who in the post I responded to, the poster seems to be addicted to trashing) has 4 Gold Gloves at Short Stop, Falefa has one at Third and one at Short Stop, Correa has one at SS, so time will tell who is best this year.

OMG! When are you due?

I'm a guy, so it's really hard to tell.  Science hasn't perfected this yet.  I might just be fat!  

[Steve71]

Drew Strotman, currently with Saints in AAA with 4plus ERA.  Seems like the Twins are considering trying him as a reliever?

[Vanimal46]

Playing catch up. Are we still pissed to lose Baddoo?

When we traded Cruz to TB last year, we got Ryan and another pitcher. I don't recall his name, but he was a good prospect too. Anybody know his name and how he's doing?

Strotman. He’s in St. Paul … not sure how he’s doing

Somebody in an older game thread said they were going to name their child Snotboogie.  Could you do me the honor?

I was really hoping that everyone just forgot about him.  You're not helping!

I'd be honored to do you the honor!

[Aggies7]

Ryan is on his game tonight 

[snotboogie]

Justin just ended the inning broadcast saying, "This is fun to watch."

 

Concur.

[Azviking101]

infield defense looks great. Fun to watch

Drew Strotman.

Struggled in St. Paul last year to the tune of a 7.33 ERA over 12 starts.

This year he's been converted into a reliever, has 4 appearances and is doing OK but nothing flashy. He's got an ERA of 3.83 and has struck out 5 guys over 7 innings.

[Aggies7]

Man, what a bad trade that was for the Rays. Couple months of cruz, just to lose in the playoffs 3-1. They did get a playoff win, I guess, which is more than we’ve been able to say in 18 years

[MadHits]

Ryan is dealing and working fast, the defense is loving it.  

[CRF]

The boys are playing some real solid D tonight. Love that stuff!

That was a rhetorical question, but thank you for the info!

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Badoo has been in a funk since the 2nd half of last year.........lessons the pain a bit.

[Aggies7]

Ryan is in the right city considering his apparent love of turtlenecks

Is this last year's photo?  He did cut his hair going into this season.

[Parfigliano]

Nice Det D

[snotboogie]

I love double plays.  This is why I love the Minnesota Baseball Team. They hit into so many of them.

Concur.

I decided to take a break, and am at a rest stop with a screen perched precariously on the steering wheel. I can see more than i could on the radio.

[Aggies7]

He’s starting the 7th inning? Is this even legal?

That's because you couldn't drive and watch the radio safely, right?

[Aggies7]

Dick isn’t even considering the possibility that Ryan could pitch the 8th. If he can’t do it with how well he’s pitched tonight, I’m not sure anyone will 

[snotboogie]

Joe Ryan

Not sure, but I'm glad he did!

[RpR]

The boys who are in danger of heading back to the minors are trying to make sure it does not happen ; why do the put Arraez where he is at, put him where he can drive in a run, not where he would plug up the bases for a speeder.

[PDX Twin]

Maybe the pitching trust lost track of the innings.....
