Game Thread: Twins (Gray) v Astros (France), 5/29/23 @ 3:10 CT

[Nine of twelve]

Win, win, chicken din!

 

[Craig Arko]

Royce the Gray, that is what they used to call me. I am Royce the White, and I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.

[Squirrel]

We CAN hang in there against good teams! We are The Little Engine That Could! (Still one of my favorite childhood books!)

Wow, I think I’ve found the trick to winning … tend to doing laundry at opportune moments!!!!!!

Come over any game, and do ours!

[tlkriens]

How about next time, we use Duran for the 7th and 8th and give someone else the 9th with at least a three run lead? This isn't hard Rocco. Duran went two innings and 29 pitches and still lived. Things can be better. It doesn't have to be this hard.

And they say it couldn't be done!  Chicken gizzard blizzards for all of those that show up at the DQ at Como Lake!  Tell them @Squirrelsent you!

I went for my consolation blizzard yesterday, so I’ll just have to settle for some fresh fruit tonight … in the shape of pie a la mode

What is the role for Sonny the Gray?

[tlkriens]

If Royce doesn't play, they probably score one run today.

It's not limited to just childhood books.

I don’t know … somehow the thought of handling your underwear doesn’t seem to work for me

Spark lights the fire, fire cooks the chicken. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.

I used to think Jeffers took way to many pitches,  seemed like he was always waiting for his perfect pitch, and would strikeout alot, Today he was very very agressive ,  lets hope it continues  !!!!

It's probably not as bad if he hasn't turned them inside out yet.

He better play regularly from here on out.

It was happy news he was being activated, and many of the players were also happy about it … the spark we needed. But hopefully he can shoulder that burden!

You do realize you can’t miss a game thread now for the rest of the season!

Can't imagine he got activated and called up to sit on the bench.  He should be a regular until someone pushes him off 3B.

Where did I read or listen to it, but the bench coach told them that they were taking some good AB, but it was time to be aggressive … a time that coaching worked!

Speaking of his shoulder, I wish that he would wear protection for his left elbow when he bats. A shin guard would also be nice.

Oh boy!! That's a lot of pressure! Hopefully I can handle it as well as Royce!
