Game Thread: Twins v Indians, 8/14 @ 7:10pm CT

my cousin teaches at Michigan State. 

 

 followed by our favorite episode of the Bullpen!!!
 

 

This is more like a horror show. 

The good news about the Santana meltdown is TR will finally learn that he has

to quit giving long term contracts to 30+ year old pitchers! ROFLMAO

Engineering, huh.  I did that.  It was... rewarding.  I'll guess that's a good way to describe it.  Got me a good career, but it was a lot of work.  Don't let your son get discouraged by the math part of things.  Those are the classes that universities use to weed out some people before they get to the cool classes.  

 

Also, Win Twins.

2. Duct Tape -- Trevor May back in the rotation. Many have been asking for it and he's back. Tyler Duffey getting another chance in the rotation. Many have not been asking for it and he's back. Tommy Milone back in the rotation. Many have forgotten who he was. These are the trio of pitchers who will face the Indians this weekend. When pitchers fall apart like ours did... duct tape can fix it. Broken rotation... Duct Tape. Need a portable beer holder... The center of a roll of duct tape is perfect. You can wrap presents with duct tape. You can adhere rookies to goal posts with Duct Tape. Whatever the problem... duct tape can solve it and our Twins SP problem is about to be solved. I SAY OPTIMISTICALLY.

Musical interlude:

 

 

I believe discovered this listening to a Dr. Demento collection i checked out from a local library while driving a fair bit. I then put it on repeat for like the next hour until smoke came out of my ears... Figuratively of course. But it was burned into my memory.

 

Naturally, i don't advocate so drastic a reaction to it, but neither will i say it is entirely wrong.

 

That said, i's lookin' forward to seein' some good baseball.

Looks like they moved Boyer to the 15 day DL retroactive to 8/9 and recalled Tonkin from Rochester... They are using duck tape!!!

.... I believe discovered this listening to a Dr. Demento collection....

I take that back... Now that i think of it, i don't believe it was a Dr. Demento collection... I believe it was a music used on Car Talk collection. And it may have well been unique in that collection as the only song not specifically mentioning cars...

 

Thinkin' o' that, i'll dedicate this one from that collection to the remainder of the Twins season.

 

 

I got a great idea... Let's win out, kinda like that one Rockies season a few years ago...

 

Why didn't i think of this earlier?

hope your son stays on the engineering path! I recruit engineers for a living and know there's a huge demand for them....

Dang, I admire smart people. If I had brains and drive, I'd be an engineer in a heartbeat.

Since the Blue Jays traded for Tulo, they have sold half million tickets according to the game day broadcast from the game going on right now.  There was a huge surge in people buying tickets.

No doubt! Entry-level engineers, no matter the discipline (civil, electrical, mechanical, etc.) make some dang good money off the bat.... No chance I am smart enough to know how they do their jobs, but it's nice to make money finding better opportunities for them

 

  I always wanted to drive a train.

I once was a train engine for halloween. Does that count?

 

It was on one side abstract (i wore one of them blue and white striped engineer hats), yet on another as realistic as i could be (someone familiar with the source burst out laughing from across the room)

Game 1 of a Twins sweep  

I watched Casey Jones and Roundhouse Rodney, so almost like driving a train.

  Carmen the nurse was responsible for my irrational obsession with women in uniform.

Scoreless top of inning.

 

Hope we do more against this here pitcher than we did last time...

 

  They look like a softball team trying to play a baseball team.

 

  An AAU softball team.

Wait, what? That wasn't ruled an error?

If that's a triple, then just get rid of the error stat altogether.

Why can't the ball carry like that for us?

The ol' fair territory, pop fly triple. Classic baseball fundamentals right there.

 

 

Also, I'm not sure why Suzuki even bothers trying to throw out runners. He's like a little league catcher - if the runner is even moderately fast its a free steal.

That was unreal.

Thou shalt not tag up on Rosario.

O.....M.....G!!

Thou shalt not tag up on Rosario.

(Somewhere after the one about throwing Dozier high fastballs...)

That inning disgusted me, but at least Eddie "The Sniper" Rosario did what he does best and put it rest. This guy just keeps on impressing me.

What a dart thrown there by Rosario.  Impressive.

 

That was unreal.
