No hitter thru 4, Hmmmm, is this the Ghost of David  WELLS ??   

Wait, did we lose David via Rule-5 too? 

(Checking... no, the Twins are one of the few organizations David Wells was never associated with.)

[mrtwinsfan]

Let’s never forget that a drunk David Wells threw a perfect game on ‘Beanie Baby Day’

For those too lazy to look things up on the internet...

 

Here's a version of it. (haven't listened specifically, but i assume it is better than me playing it)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Not all walks haunt.

Leastwise not very long.

[glunn]

Nice catch by Gordon there.

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice catch by Gordon 

[ashbury]

Thank You Nick Gordon!  (For hitting that double.)

Nice hit too.

[Craig Arko]

I like Nick Gordon a lot. He’s more valuable to this team than many credit.

[RpR]

Bremer brought up Banjo Hitter, Reusse used to use that often.

He has been sporadic in the past but seems to be more consistent of late.

Lenny Green used to be called a Banjo Hitter; Gordon reminds me of him.

One who hits banjos?

Took a quick refresher look.  Lenny Green hit 14 HR one year, to go with 33 doubles.  Pretty hefty banjo he wielded.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well, we aren't allowed to run into the stands to catch it, are we?

[Mill1634]

Once again on the lineup. I’m not even going to complain because we’re so lucky to have won the first two games.

Banjos are no joke. The sounding board can be pretty hefty.

 

And such a nice large round contact surface.

 

If the phrase meant they swung the bat as though it were a banjo, i'd be careful pitching to them.

[Aggies7]

Quality start for smeltzer

I'm waiting for two more puns...

[AlwaysinModeration]

Twins have Baltimore right where they want ‘em.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright, screw the courage to sticking point!

 

(Assuming MLB doesn't forbid it)

We gotta score some runs!

Yeah!

Target Field!

[Vanimal46]

Rally time! Let’s go Correa

[PDX Twin]

$35m worth of outs there.

[Aggies7]

Ain’t that a killer 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

C'mon Polanco!

 

[CRF]

It's only the 6th inning...too early to mount a come back. We need to wait another inning or two. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yeay 1 run!

 

The uphill battle isn't as high.
