Tyler Thornburg.

You know what I'd like?  I'd like to tune in to the Twinks game and not see a pitcher I've never heard of before in my life.

Well you've probably heard of his dad Richard Thornburg the reporter from Die Hard. Better known as Dick

Lots of beards on the Rockies

Definition of beard from Urban Dictionary:

A boy or girl hired as a celebritys boyfriend/girlfriend by that celebritys management, usually for publicity.

Let’s dish on Charlie Blackmon.

Who am I to argue with the Urban Dictionary?!

Just now realizing Rockies have 1 hit. And the Astros thought a nono in NY was special!

Yup

Ha!  Really?  

I somehow missed that inning.

[Danchat]

Thornburg is at 25 pitches and nobody’s warming in the pen… interesting call.

[Mill1634]

Thornburg is being treated like he's getting DFA'd after the game

Is this a trick question?

 

wsnydes, i presume.

Thornburg coming back for the 9th and pitched yesterday. 
 

is someone coming off the IL tomorrow? Thornburg getting demoted?

Park gives all the details here Jax, including his rank: https://www.mlb.com/news/griffin-jax-called-up-by-twins

"Jax's promotion (to the rank of Captain) was disrupted by his transfer to the Air Force Reserve in 2019 to facilitate his professional baseball career, meaning that he's still 1st Lt. Griffin Jax".

Don’t really want to argue about this, but I believe he was eventually promoted to Captain. I am certain that an officer can be promoted after going into reserve status and I believe it was reported that he did receive his promotion after his wife received hers.

Almost there...

 

Just hold on for a few more seconds....

[snotboogie]

FINALLY getting to TF tomorrow. Only other game I’ve been to this year, opening day, in Denver. 
 

[Game7-91]

Hurry up Thornburg, the days are getting shorter at this longitude.

Maybe he's proving that he belongs. Going back to back days and going multiple innings 

[BH67]

It's a one-hit wonder tonight.  More, please.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Winnah.

 

(maybe i should jinx us mire often)

We would have also accepted meddling kids.

[Mill1634]

Twins win!

Feels so good to have a game where the bats come alive, the pitching locks down a lineup that they should, and the bullpen provides stress free baseball. Absolutely have to win tomorrow with Ryan on the bump against a bad starter once again. Just hoping we get the A lineup, but I have my doubts with a huge 5 game series coming up on the road against a team that's much more important to beat. Leave the weekend no worse standings wise than when it started.

Until tomorrow,

ENJOY YOUR CHICKEN!
