Game Thread: Twins (Gray) v Dodgers (May), 5/17 @ 2:10pm CT

[August J Gloop]

BABIP kinda favoring Dodger Blue today. 

[August J Gloop]

LOL a 2-0 pitchout? Vargas totally signaled it and everything. 

[wavedog]

Perfect throw by Vazquez  - nice tag by Correa as well.  OK bats - let's wake-up!

Not sure what made me think of this, but I'm reminded of when I took Mrs Chief to the hospital for the birth of our 1st child. I was pretty freaked out, worrying about her health. I remember she started yelling at me and I just got so scared.

"Couldn't!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Wouldn't!"

"Can't! Won't! Hasn't!"

Just then the doctor walked in and I frantically asked him what the heck is going on?

He looked at be, a little bemused, and said "relax, Chief. She's just started with the contractions."

I hear a Metronome lease might help, if that's a persistent problem.

How quietly this farmer brought his bat to Los Angeles:

 

.293/.364/.847

[CRF]

A round of E & J's for everyone!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Gallo ties it.

[RickOShea]

It's gallo time!

[Craig Arko]

Wine Country Gallo.

I thought they tore it down.  Isn't it a parking lot, now?

[stringer bell]

#13 is a strong human being. 

[August J Gloop]

Dodgers building rallies, Twins answering with bombs. Seems like a script has been flipped. 

[stringer bell]

AK is evening it up with the BABiP gods.

[stringer bell]

CC-4 with a solid knock. Now, let's take the lead.

[CRF]

It's time to open a can of whup-*** on these guys. 

[MMMordabito]

'Bout time the wheels started to fall of the never-was Covey bus.

[Jocko87]

Quieter today than the midnight games.

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Just no double play,  Correa has had several lately.  

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton is up again.

Wonder what he will do for an encore?

[stringer bell]

"First full year as a DH"......I think Bremer is giving away the strategy with Buck at DH.

Not get pitched to

[CRF]

Oh no...bases loaded! Yikes! 

[Mortimerkenny21]

C'mon boy's let's break it open!

[RickOShea]

Polanco will keep it going. I'm sure of it.

[stringer bell]

Need a really big number here.

Ruh roh.

[rwilfong86]

Come on, let's get a few here

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

At least 1 fly ball in next 2 at bats scores a run,  a hit scores 2.  Lets manufacture some runs boys.

He hasn't played anywhere else this season yet, so he's not wrong.  I still except him back playing some center sometime this summer.

I keep seeing him next to Correa or Taylor and thinking how big he is. Then I remember that Correa and Taylor are both 6'4 220.
