Game Thread: Twins @ Tigers, 5/23 - 6:10pm

[snepp]

Your punishment is to go back to the byto archive and read every post dankind ever made.

 

That shouldn't take long, it was just the same four posts repeated over and over again.

[Guest USAFChief]

Seriously? There's a game tonight?

 

Double-U. Tee. Eff.

 

Sorry guys.

 

I'm reporting you to the mods. Violation of "updated comment policy," item 3.

I enjoy listening to Twins hitting. So much more fun.

Pretty sure the stats get washed away if it ends up not being an official game. If the game is suspended they still count. Looks like that won't be an issue here though.

 

Unless the rules have changed, the stats always count, even if the game doesn't. That's why you sometimes get players that are listed with games played being more than 162 games.

[Guest USAFChief]

Not that we don't have this one in the bag or anything, but it might have been nice to cash in an extra run or two these past two innings.

[big dog]

Two on and two out. Torii up. Time for the high heat. Not the nibbling.

[GCTF]

ruh-roh.

[Ultima Ratio]

The Mauer weak dribble DP really hurts about now.

[big dog]

OK, how do we get Miggy out here?

[Ultima Ratio]

Florimon would have made that an out. Love that Florimon.

[Guest USAFChief]

Whew.

[big dog]

bases loaded, Cabrera and Fielder up, we get out giving up one run. That feels like a win to me.

[jokin]

Whew.

 

Thanks, Dick.

[Ultima Ratio]

Whew.

Have the blood pressure meds handy. This game ain't over by damn sight.

[Guest USAFChief]

Thanks, Dick.

You're welcome, Peter.

[big dog]

Why did I have to pick today to give up sniffing glue?

[Ultima Ratio]

Is that it for Diamond? If not, should it be?

[big dog]

I would put Diamond out there again. The two two-out singles were both softly hit balls that fell in the right places. He's got to get back in a groove again, so let him work through it. We also have a bullpen on fumes.

[jokin]

You're welcome, Peter.

 

I wonder how long does that one gets by the censors...?

[Guest USAFChief]

Is that it for Diamond? If not, should it be?

I'm going to guess he comes out for the 6th, and I'd be OK with that, with a RH reliever ready if needed.

[Ultima Ratio]

I let him fill the bases again. Then get someone up.http://deephousepage.com/smilies/jerkit.gif

[Ultima Ratio]

Ok, seriously I'd put him back out there too and give him one baserunner before the hook.

[big dog]

Plouffe would have gotten that ball down the line...maybe.

[Guest USAFChief]

He gone.

[Top Gun]

Pedro Florimon Jr. left Thursday's game against the Tigers with a right index finger sprain.

 

It's not clear how long the malady might sideline the infielder. Eduardo Escobar took Florimon's spot at shortstop Thursday.

[GCTF]

Can't touch that.

[Ultima Ratio]

Hammer finds some nails.

[Twins Twerp]

Willy raising that trade value...nice

[big dog]

Oh man, I hope the Hammer Heats Up for the rest of the series, too.

[Twins Twerp]

Escobar is emergency catcher. Chances Butera comes up...he could take worleys spot in the rotation too
