Game Thread: Tigers (Mize) v Twins (Varland); 4/21 @ 1:10pm CT

[Squirrel]

Varland will need to really step it up for the Twins to take the series. Hoping for a good showing today!

Go Twins!

 

[Parfigliano]

Castro.  Santana.  Farmer.  Vasquez.  All starting?

Apparently.

 

And at the bottom of the order?

Yup. And he will. I think it is called a mound due to its elevation. (not its lack of nuts as some may postulate)

[CRF]

Louie needs to get it together today. If he gets shelled again, I really think he has to get yanked out of the rota. You just can't keep sending him out there to get killed. C'mon Louie...give us 6 shoutout innings!

Oof. I hope we’re not staring at that for much longer.

Rota? Why would he be sent to Spain? Is he joining the Navy?

[mrtwinsfan]

Got bad eyes , thats why made it bigger,  are they Twins  ???  Crazy !!!!!

[SD happy]

Our starting infield batting averages are 177, 148, 123 and 088. Plus starting catcher is 121.  Yikes!

[mrtwinsfan]

Varlands so worried about throwing Meatballs,  --  Kids Lost,  hoping for better,   

[Aggies7]

This dude might not even be able to pitch in the pen at this point 

[CRF]

Yeah, I think Louie is really over thinking right now. He's trying to be perfect and it's messing him up.  

[Parfigliano]

Varland lost the plate

Not lost, quickly making a significant adjustment.  This is a good thing but it won't happen overnight.

[ib uk]

So. Over/under on Bowman coming in at 2.1 innings

[Parfigliano]

2 not to many to overcome....has Justin seen todays line-up?

[MABB1959]

Only against Minnesota can you have 1 hit and 2 runs

[CRF]

Ok guys...let's pick him up...get a couple runs right back and tie it up. 

[mrtwinsfan]

2 runs,  only 40 pitches,  is he coming back out ??   My vote YES

[Parfigliano]

So righties do better against Mize but Rocco wants lefties today

[mrtwinsfan]

Glad ya got a hit Buck,   to pull that pitch, hard to do,   he,s still is,   Only Pull happy

[CRF]

Bases juiced...WE NEED MR LEWIS!

[Parfigliano]

Bad luck

So much for that idea.
