Tonight the Twins start the final leg of their long road trip with the first of 3 in Detroit. A year ago we probably would have looked at that series in Cleveland and thought it showed promise - they had a chance to win all three games! This year... it feels like a let down. Hopefully they can turn things around against the Tigers (well, hopefully they turned it around last night with the win...).
Pineda has been called up from the IL, and hopefully he's able to quickly find his stuff again, because the Twins are facing Matthew Boyd, who has some pretty impressive numbers. Of course, he gets beat when he gives up the long ball, and the Twins... they hit those. So maybe you'll want to add multiple names to your HR guess list tonight.
In other news, Philosofette's surgery went well, and she's home and on the mend, though that'll be a long process. Hopefully the Twins can help keep her spirits up!
This guy super balks.
So, my shutout prediction was almost immediately shot, but I'm hoping everyone's HR prediction comes through
Oh damn - I should have predicted the ejection. Too easy though
Winner. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you!
Welcome back, garver
I don't know - Garver hitting a home run kinda makes the balk and the wild pitch that got Buxton to 3rd wasteful.
I'm just glad they finally called it. It's the most balky balk that ever balked and that first base ump looks like a moron.
What were all those voices on the TV broadcast during the balk call? Fans close to the booth arguing?
If the FO wants to replace Pineda in the rotation, I'm okay with it
Hear hear!!!!
So weird to see someone correctly spell that instead of using “here.” I’m uncomfortable in a pleasant way.
Thought the same thing. I've read enough Master and Commander
Pineda: future DFA'd guy
He's no Scott Diamond
Any pitchers out there named Jeremy?
Bert says “you hate to see a guy like [Cabrera] have injuries at the end of his career.”
Remember all the things, though, Bert? Because Cabrera is exactly the kind of human being I like to see failing.
Oh, mama
Called one!
Okay, that makes two for the night
Cruz?! They're working off script!
My God, he is good at hitting
Dingers!
Heck of a game for marwin tonight
Might be time for La Tortuga to head down to La AAA.
Yeah I think he's been figured out
Been thinking that, too. Like to have him back when he's ready to hit again
Soooo...,.....
Tyler Duffey is STILL not a shutdown reliever
Decent fielder at least
Parker warming. Someone get Geoff a Xanax
Too late......
Does anyone bid 2Bux?
Buxton special
Seriously, it's amazing how he turns routine singles into doubles. So much fun
Let's get Harp his win here
And make things as easy on Parker as possible
At least Parker is consistent right?
Consistently pissing many of us off?
Well yeah......but consistent!
