Game Thread: Twins @ Guardians, 5/5/23 @ 6:10 CT

[UpstateNewYorker]

Anyone know who is/isn't available out of the bullpen tonight after yesterday's marathon?

[Winston Smith]

So Kepler screws up a perfectly good negative game thread. What a jerk.

Baldelli: "we need 9 tonight, Ubes. At least."

For those of you watching the broadcast, Dereck Rodriguez was born in Arlington, Texas. He did play on the Puerto Rican team in the WBC and his dad was born in Puerto Rico.

It's all Kepler's fault

I'll be happier if Ober backs up the run scoring with a scoreless inning.

Ask and it shall be given unto you.

Clicked on what? On your TV? On your computer/phone? Do you subscribe to Apple TV? Maybe you and/or your mom are paying for it without realizing it? Enlighten us, please.

App on my iPad. And no, do not have Apple TV, but went to the app, clicked on sports, Friday night games, then clicked on the game I wanted

[RickOShea]

Jax and duran should be I would think. Doesn’t look like ober should come out any time soon

Dunno, sounds pretty complicated. 

[minnesotacubsfan]

oh good, I hate cleveland

 

GO CUBS! woops....twins!

 

 

[Nine of twelve]

I know better than to jinx Ober by posting that he could pitch into the 8th inning tonight, so I won't post that even if I think it could happen, which maybe I don't.

BAN THIS MAN!!!

[CRF]

Ober's almost at 80 pitches. He's been great, but he won't be in there too much longer. It'll be up to the pen to hold on. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Cleveland should get points for that last putout which looked like a football play : 

CLE: Battenfield 8 yd pass from Naylor

I know better than to concur, so I won't.

Q&A of the day:

 

Q: Why do geese fly upside down over Progressive Field?

 

A: It isn't worth a ****!

 

 

[Nine of twelve]

Wow. 6 1/2 innings in an hour and 25 minutes. We're moving along quickly tonight.

Made me think of Blyleven: he features all 65 pitches, fastball, sinker, curve, slider, sweeper, change, splitfinger ...

We know they were all on a downward plane.

I have been to Progressive Field, and it's OK. But for any major league venue built after Camden Yards OK is not a compliment.

Well of course she gets it. Younger folks do.

I know better but that seldom stops me.

WTF?  I paid for another year of mlb.tv, and no game?  Apple TV?  I don't want another 'free trial' bombarding my email.
