Game Thread: Twins vs Yankees, 7/1 - 7:10pm

[GCTF]

D'ya suppose, when Gardy had to scratch Willingham, he put Carroll at third and Plouffe at DH just to avoid the embarrassment of having to submit an MLB lineup card containing "Carroll, DH" on it?

 

It's been done. Jason Tyner, DH.

[GCTF]

I just call him Chumlee

 

Everybody should.

I don't think so. After all, this is the same guy who submitted multiple MLB lineup cards containing "Tyner, DH."

 

Edit: GCTF!!! Snepp!!!

[GCTF]

Weird. I checked Fangraphs, and there's no reference to a "Robinson Cano" anywhere. It's like he doesn't exist. Must be a backstory there or something.

 

Are you sure you didn't search for Robinson Crusoe by mistake?

Does anyone know of a similarly embarrassing DH situation in the Gardy era?

[glunn]

I wish the Twins had been more patient this inning -- run up the frigging pitch count.

There was that one guy who vowed vengeance upon the Twins and all of their kin.

 

 

The name's on the tip of my tongue....

2012 Minnesota Twins Lineups and Defense - Baseball-Reference.com

Sub year in url.

 

Chris Hermann DH'ed once last year

[Beezer07]

Didn't Tony Batista DH, or did he only play 3rd?

 

Or who am I thinking of? The guy who played in Japan before the Twins picked him up...that's not Nishioka.

[GCTF]

Too late to use Carroll as the DH?

[Gibby]

Tough play? I'm sure I can get my glove in front of something that's going to hit me in the gut.

[CairoCrown]

I don't like this Cano person

[snepp]

Just stop pitching to him.

[big dog]

Seriously...you pitch to Cano again? Right down the middle?

[Beezer07]

There is ONE good player on the entire Yankees offense. Why are the Twins pitching to him? Scared of Vernon Wells?

[Guest USAFChief]

Too subtle, I guess.

[Willihammer]

Someone needs to take Robinson C, put him on a raft and push him out to the Caribean in a hurricane to crash land on a desert island someplace.

[Guest USAFChief]

You can't walk the 3 hitter with one out and a runner already on.

[GCTF]

Cano started this series needing 6 HRs for 200 in his career. Thoughts on whether he'll have it before he leaves town?

I just hope he does not get them all tonight.

No. Lefties can't hit for power in TF.

[Gibby]

I cant stand listening to Smally run his yap.

[big dog]

You can't walk the 3 hitter with one out and a runner already on.

 

Why? Because they might score?

[Beezer07]

I'm gonna miss Diamond when he goes back to Rochester. Wish he could have continued pitching way over his ability like he did last year.

[big dog]

I think it's time for Diamond to rediscover himself in Rochester for a while.

[Willihammer]

Pettitte 2 strikeouts away from tying Whitey Ford for the lead in K's in Yankee history. I think its safe to assume he gets there tonight, the question is, which Twin will have the honor of giving it to him?

[Guest USAFChief]

Really shouldn't get that big of a jump off a lefthander. Pay attention, Scott.
