Game 19 - Twins vs Red Sox - 4/25/12

[Riverbrian]

Yeah it's been hard to watch. Hopefully it evens out sooner rather than later. Just keep thinking the bad times will balance to some good times.

Does anyone else drink a lot more when the Twins play like this? ....................how about constantly posting every thought that runs through your head?

No way I could type that fast.... It would be something like this...

 

Plouffe... That curve was hung... Must not have been looking for the deuce... The cat just walked past... Hey kitty... Fine walk right past me like you own the house. Nice to have Ben back in the majors... I hope he ropes another one just to show everybody on twins daily how hes a spark plug. Get off the coach Cat... Your gonna get fur all over. Plouffe struck out. Need a key hit... RISP... Just saw a stat posted on that. Plouffe and Beloit are both sounds produced when you drop a quarter in the toilet. Plouffe and Beloit... That's funny.

 

What honey... No the cat is not on the coach.

[Riverbrian]

Ok... The twins may not come back

Dear Dick Bremer,

 

All the Twins have been having are "Off Days"

[one_eyed_jack]

This is so frustrating on so many levels, but the 2 things that really get me are:

 

1) It may sound cliche, especially with the frequency Blyleven says it, but it starts and ends with starting pitching. Not only is our rotation awful, but there's not much reason to hope that they'll be able to turn it around.

 

2) This is a weak and therefore winnable division. Detroit and Cleveland are losing big. Once those games go final, nobody in the division will be more than 2 games over .500. (No, not even the mighty Tigers.) You don't need to be much more than an average team to at least hang around within striking distance, and the Twins can't even do that. This is the where we to thrive. While the rest of the AL Central floundered, the Twins would step forward and take the division. But there's no sign of the potential for that this year.

Hi everybody! Quality start update: 3/19

 

With Swarzak pitching now, who's making the start in place of Liriano?

Nobody. They have an off day and he is skipped

[mikeee]

Bases loaded.

1 out.

heart of the order....

[mikeee]

A Morneau homer would tie it.....

[mikeee]

I will take a double... lol

[Riverbrian]

Didn't like seeing Parmelee go down like that. Saw him mouth he's fine to the trainer.

[one_eyed_jack]

Me of little faith with my rant. We've got ourselves a ballgame here, boys and girls!

[Riverbrian]

LOL... Burroughs produced all 3 outs. I can hear Gardy... Good inning boys... Everyone... Good inning... Except you Burroughs.

[uno321]

Could they have sent Morneau home on Plouffe's hit? On tv it sure looked like he could have made it!

"Danny, you are safe"

[Mchans24]

Bring up Dozier and play him at 3B

With 1 out and Morneaus speed... its best to be safe... A Burroughs fly ball ties the game.

[Riverbrian]

"Danny, you are safe"

lol... I still say bench him... Just for effect... Burroughs is sure had a bad inning. That makes it hard to send Velencia the message.

[Riverbrian]

Did I read on this site. I think Seth posted that Dozier can now be called up and it doesn't effect his Arb clock.

Recovering from concussion symptoms, they are not going to send Morneau into a possible collision or vigorous slide at the plate.

What more needs to be seen to replace Capps with Perkins as closer? I think it's safe to assume Capps would not have mowed down Gonzalez, Ortiz and Youkalis in a late game situation.

Agreed in toto.

[Riverbrian]

I agree... Then move Liriano into set up... LOOGY...

[Riverbrian]

Keep this in mind... You gotta pull for Capps tho. If he has a decent year. He'll be good Trade Bait. Someone will be dying for a closer at the deadline.

I'm pulling for everybody! However unlikely, all we fans want is wins.

[mikeee]

wiff we have been swept.

[Ultima Ratio]

At least the Royals are next. We can take one game hopefully, but not getting my hopes up.

[one_eyed_jack]

Unreal. To reduce a 6-run deficit to a 1-run deficit, then twice load the bases and not be able to score. Unreal.

 

And that call on Revere's foul ball was just brutal. Did Barksdale go to the Phil Cuzzi School of Umpiring?
