2012 Game 127: Twins at Rangers

92 Comments

The Twins aren't good, and the Rangers are. This isn't a likely win. Let's look at the pitching matchup and see if I change my mind:

DeVries vs. Feldman.

Even if it's Corey Feldman, the Rangers probably have the upper hand. So, fire up The Goonies or something instead.

...yeah, yeah...I'll probably watch this until I go to work.

  2. I like how Gladden remembers with exactitude the details of a non-playoff game in '87. Maybe with help from the Interwebs?

    1. He probably has all of his career games on VHS tapes and plays them on loop to keep his recollection up to snuff.

  10. Of course the Twins take a rare lead and they get a rain delay. DeVries has thrown four or five pitches plus his warmups. I wonder if the Twins would allow him to go back out there even with a lengthy delay.

  12. on the grill tonight: I'm making a smoked meatloaf, to go with roasted potatoes and carrots, and a salad. And I made a vegan chocolate pudding/custard for dessert. (I added a heaping tbsp of cocoa powder to this recipe, and substituted three heaping tbsp of brown sugar for the sugar). The flavor is good, if a bit sweet. It hasn't chilled yet, so I don't know if it will be thick enough. Next time I will probably use 4-5 tbsp of corn starch and reduce the sugar.

  13. Not that I would ever advocate such a thing, but it strikes me that the rain would have given DeVries a perfect chance to come up and in on Kinsler. "It was wet! The ball slipped!"

  15. Rain delay? That explains the 'r' looking character on the crappy out-of-town scoreboard at Citi Field.

  20. Guys, we don't exactly have Cy Young on the mound today. We really need to make those plays.

  23. you can blame the field for being sloppy, but if DeVries could actually strike someone out it wouldnt be a problem.

  26. Robby Inc says the Gardy is crushed Punto was traded to LA because he wont see him at Spring Training. you cant it that stuff up.

    1. Future minor-league or bench coach for the Twins whichever team Gardy is Managing when Punto retires?

  28. Pedro Florimon now has as many RBIs as Drew Butera this season. If Butera can't even catch the darn ball on strikeouts, just what is he good for?

    1. Not sure what the actual call was, but it looked like Revere was interfered with and should have been safe regardless.

  40. FSN just spent 2 half innings talking about Ron Washington. They have given up on the Twins too.

  45. Jeff Gray comes in and the lead is shaved in half. Everyone knew that was going to happen.

  50. who would have thought Casey Fien and Jeff Burton would be among the best relievers on the staff.

  53. i gotta say, i'm so happy that revere is playing well enough to be deserving of his spot in this team. i love that i don't have to like him irrationally.

  59. I know that no manager would be dumb enough to put Jeff Gray into a game his team had a chance to win. Therefore, I assume his line in the box score is a misprint, and that the Twins actually won 6-2. Good job by Cole DeVries and the bullpen, and we're still on track for 87-75!
