Game Thread: Twins @ Braves, 5/21 - 6:10pm

[Guest USAFChief]

Leadoff single, subsequent Twins hitters can't get the ball out of the infield, 3 batters faced, inning over.

 

Color me shocked.

[snepp]

Come on Swarzie, just one more K to tie the starters!

The bloom is coming off the Arcia rose pretty quickly.

New Donatello Snepp?

The Twins have a lot of candidates for demotion and Arcia is among them. It looks like the second half of May might be one of the worst fortnights in Twins' history.

Older Maid Chief?

I don't generally complain too much about umpire's strike zones (maybe an individual pitch here and there), but this guy is having a rough night.

I've started watching the new TMNT with my three year old. My wife says it is too old for him, but damn, I'm just so tired of Dora.

It's the new and improved Delmonatello.

I think I've seen every episode of Spongebob.

 

 

 

Five times.

So the "ninja" part is mostly honorific -- reflexes, nimbleness, headiness and all.

 

Well done, I like it.

[Guest USAFChief]

Older Maid Chief?

Every day.

 

Not helped by watching Twins recently.

Mornie against lefties = my chances with Kate Upton - 15%

Yeah, the similarities start and stop with their appearance. Beyond that, the only ninja Delmon has anything in common with is this one....

We should keep plouffe on bench until may and june because he is hitting his stride

[B Richard]

Officer Doumit reporting for duty

[stringer bell]

Justice for Swarzak. He certainly didn't deserve the loss.

[Ultima Ratio]

That's how we have to score runs, flukey poor hit balls -- only with Providence -- find a way.

[B Richard]

Plouffe you ****ing idiot. Nice play to block the bag by Pena

 

At least Doumit moves up a base

[Ultima Ratio]

What happened to the 'like' and 'share' buttons on the last 5 or so posts. They be gone.

 

 

Edit: All the sudden they reappear. The prestige if you will. And you will, won't you?

Good decision, IMO. Poor execution on the slide.

Trevor's not a great baserunner.

I hate the move to pinch run for Willingham. If the pen gets the job done it's moot but the odds that Dozier's extra spped scores a run are less than the odds Willingham would bat again.

[Twins Twerp]

You give a guy a compliment...and he gets tossed out. Also, why did that ball get cut? He should have been out by a mile. BUT hicks was coming up so not a bad idea I guess.

You are treading in Gardy "simple stuff" territory. It's how he always has done it, 9 times out of 10 it doesn't work out, but hey, he's going by the time-tested "book".***
