Game Thread: Twins v Indians, 6/16@7:10pm CT

Shouldn't the 4th though have been Italian hospitals?

 

Italians sure are smart. Augie Ojeda (or Brett Fabre) is a fantastic way to give someone intravenous fluids.

 

Go Twins

More like footnote, there, RB.

 

Good job, as per usual!

In the interest of accuracy, Grand Forks itself has produced exactly 4 NHL hockey players, with a grand  total (no pun intended)  of 297 games played in the league.

 

Now, UND on the other hand has had many players go on to the NHL, but are we attributing those to Grand Forks?......I think not. 

 

 

Interesting, I know. 

I'm thinking if we struggle to score runs over this series then we will lose every game as our starting pitchers for these games are not the best that we have  (not that we have many good pitchers lol)

Pretty crazy to me that we're trotting our two guys I'd never heard of before the season, and one guy (Gibson) who I wish we'd never trot out again, in the biggest series of the year (thus far).

 

Actually what's really crazy is that we are in first place, given the state of our pitching staff.

 

I'll enjoy it while it lasts. And in the meantime I'll populate a twins sweep.

Loved that countdown!

I am hoping for a split given the starters that are going to be going this weekend.  Given the way this season has been, if the games were in Cleveland I would be hopeful for 3 wins out of 4 but since it is at home that isn't as likely. 

 

Which can I take a moment to say how odd it is that they have such a good road record and have the worst home record? 

Look I'll be very honest with you guys....if we win all the games against Cleveland, I'll be over the moon so send me up some air...thanks

Big series early in the year.

Carrasco vs Turley

 

 

Whelp... Bats are going to have to be hot tonight, and outside of Mauer, Dozier, and Sano this lineup hasn't faired very well against Carlos. Dozier has gone deep a few times against him, and Joe is batting .526 in 19 AB's against him.

I'm understandably worried as well...realistically how many innings will he last till he's pulled?

All of them?

Alright… Here come a bunch of TWO’s. TWO wins and TWO losses against the Mariners and a TWO game lead over the Indians. The Twins and Indians will play TWO games on Saturday and if that is not strange enough… They will play TWO Games on Friday and Sunday combined. Wait… it doesn’t stop there… The Twins have TWO starting pitchers that they can count on and neither of them will pitch against the Indians. The Twins also have TWO catchers on the roster and each player has two kidneys. (I can’t prove that last one… it is an assumption).

It goes farther. Tonight's Weather Outlook (TWO) includes a chance of Thunderstorms With Occasionallightning (TWO). The omens are everywhere if you know where to look.

How many is that in metric?

Now you've gone two far.

How many is that in metric?

6.4 players and 504.9 games.

 

Thanks for catching that.

 

Now you've gone two far.

 

To be, or not to be: that is the question

Two be, or not two be: that is the question

FTFY

We are Hamlet, prince of Borg. Prepare to be or not to be.

Yes... Once they come through Grand Forks we claim them. 

 

Toews is ours... You can't have him back.

I believe it works best if we demoralize them by scoring 10 in the first inning.

What I love about baseball is that it never goes like it is supposed to. 

 

I've seen Aces face each other and the final score was 10-8. I've seen two starters with 6 plus ERA square off in a 2-1 final. 

 

I've seen the Twins bench Sano and score 20 runs. 

 

I've seen a ground ball go through Buckner's legs... I've seen Bartman... I've seen Randy Johnson Kill a Bird...  I've seen a ball player hit the ball for the first time in his life and then run directly to third because he had never hit the ball before and wasn't sure what direction.  (He was safe at third but unfortunately out at first.)

but we'll be pitching first so that wont work if we allow a few runs in the first inning?    Also, when is Hughes going to be back? Seems like we could do with Hughes back to bolster our pitching starters

Should we consult the Twoth Fairy?

Always best to have a sizable lead going into the later innings.  They are usually safe.  Unless you're playing the Astros.
