sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Pun noun a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings. (courtesy of google search) I fogured i'd just encourage folk to get them out of your system now before the game starts. If people can mean several things with the same word, well, how do we know what they mean to mean? That way leads to chaos and anarchy. Did you hear about the Twins new pitch combining a slider with a sinker? It slinks. I'll show myself out. But not before sharing the lineups, and pointing out that Buxton is in center, so all is right with the world. Tribe: 0. Aaron Civale (R ) P1. C. Hernandez ( S) 2B2. Jose Ramirez ( S ) 3B3. F. Lindor ( S ) DH4. Carlos Santana ( S ) 1B5. Mike Freeman ( L) SS6. D. Santana (R ) RF7. Bradley Zimmer ( L) LF8. Oscar Mercado (R ) CF9. Beau Taylor ( L) C Twins: 0. Tyler Clippard (R ) P1.

Diesel Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 I see Homer Bailey did end up being put on the IL with right bicep tendinitis. Anyone have an idea when Odorizzi will be back up with the team?

hybridbear Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 I see Homer Bailey did end up being put on the IL with right bicep tendinitis. Anyone have an idea when Odorizzi will be back up with the team? Yikes! 2 starting pitchers injured within the first 2 weeks! Not a great start... good thing Maeda & Hill were added during the offseason.
Mill1634 Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Good start from Clippard...I like him as the opener against three lefties.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Author Posted August 2, 2020 Yikes! 2 starting pitchers injured within the first 2 weeks! Not a great start... good thing Maeda & Hill were added during the offseason.That's like... 40% of a normal rotation.
Squirrel Community Moderator Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 so, with a bullpen game ... how many innings will Clippard get? Just one, and then into the long relievers?
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Author Posted August 2, 2020 Good start from Clippard...I like him as the opener against three lefties.4 switch hitters and lefty. So they'da been righties if he was lefty.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Author Posted August 2, 2020 Kepler is on 3rd. But this being reconsidered...
Squirrel Community Moderator Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Didn't see any chalk dust on that ...
70charger Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Fairly clearly hit the line, so that'll be a double.
operation mindcrime Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 That ball hit the chalk!
Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Where are you guys seeing it hit the line?
operation mindcrime Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Nice double Max! Now let's get him home!!!!!
Mill1634 Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Lucky break there. That ball was foul
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Author Posted August 2, 2020 Goes back to 2nd as it was a ground ruler than bounced back onto the field...
operation mindcrime Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
operation mindcrime Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Nice hitting Jorge!!!!!
PDX Twin Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 In the spirit of the introduction: This pitcher looks a lot more "Cival-ized" than stupid-hair guy last Friday night.
70charger Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 What's that thing Rosario wears on his thumb?
FlauerPauer Verified Member Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 That's such a baseball thing to happen. Rosario crushes his ball and hits it to CF. Polanco doinks it to right and gets a RBI lol
