Just one goofball could send it over.

If he set his mind to it.

Lol this is unfair. 

[RickOShea]

This game just looks like it's going to blow up in our faces.  I think I'll walk down to the fields and see if the Hooter girls softball team is shagging flies.

Archer is running up his pitch count. One more inning and the Twins' bullpen comes in to hold them down while we come back.

Oh, wait. Never mind! See you tomorrow night...

I was leaning ‘over’ as well

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Not to be confused with bending over

The red baron 401K should have dove for that.  Maybe he gets himself out of the game.

Is Kepler awake?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Not to be confused with Ben Dover, who played in the 60s

[LVTwinsfan]

So Altuve intimidates the Twins in game 1 by throwing a complete hissy fit  because the ball hits him in the thigh. In his next ab, or at least in the next game, he should have got one under the chin.

No comment to up the #'s.

I heard Altuve was mad.  They sent the bat boy out to Walmart to buy a trash can.   Dumb kid brought back a Rubbermaid can.

umm No you won’t, not in this game thread 

(this coming from a guy who posted a Ben Dover joke—but I covered it up with a baseball reference  

[HokieRif]

I just don’t get why Archer is allowed to have the mechanics he has. There is obviously a world of inconsistency in his delivery that no decent club would allow past single A ball. I understand what I’m about to say may sound rhetorical but is this really the best we can do?

A little chin music?  Flip him? Dust em off?  Drill him in the ribs? Bean him?  Is that what you are advocating?  All right, I'm with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shagging flies?

See the ball, hit the ball....WOW, Who would of thought. Twins batting coach must have 200IQ

[RickOShea]

Dustry had a team meeting to try and come up with a new signal.  So, on the buffet table in the clubhouse, there are steam trays of baked beans.  You guessed it.  A group fart from the bench, rather than the trash can bit.

[LVTwinsfan]

As if that means something

Then he cued up the camp fire scene from Blazing Saddles.

Open up the outside corner. Make him move his feet. Get him uncomfortable up there. Move Him off the plate. Insert fav cliche here.
