Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Indians, 8/7 @ 6:10pm CT

[Dr. Evil]

I vote keep our Trevors and put our Miguel at first and our Joe on the bench

[stringer bell]

Boyer is older than Perk. C'mon Bremer.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

PLEASE!

 

Um, i mean please get 'em out?

[ShouldaCouldaWoulda]

 

I vote keep our Trevors and put our Miguel at first and our Joe on the bench

But, I would trade our Trevor's for their Carlos's (Corasco and Santana.)

[hybridbear]

Perkins is playing with fire walking Santana...

[Dr. Evil]

K!

[Dr. Evil]

The twins win!

[DiscGolfer]

is that a win?

[David HK]

Argh.  Why do Perk's innings seem to last longer than an indie film?  

[DiscGolfer]

when was Perk's last save?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I always enjoy the drama of Perkins at his best.

 

Called 3rd strike on an 0-2 Pitch for the final out.

[notoriousgod71]

An unexpected win after blowing that huge lead.

[David HK]

Whew- chicken dinnah at last.  I've been starving.

[Riverbrian]

OK... We are officially out of Toronto. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

when was Perk's last save?

Should i look it up?

 

I think he protected a 4 run lead since the All Star Break...

 

And in the All Star Break...

[Mike Sixel]

Awesome.

[JB_Iowa]

They can score...

And they can win.

 

I'd forgotten that.

[DiscGolfer]

Last save, July 23.  Kinda sad to have to look that up, couldn't remember last time.

[DiscGolfer]

and still over 500 for a couple more games

[AlwaysinModeration]

Ahhhh.... stats people. Is it just me, or are the Twinkies just more futile with runner on 3rd, less than 2 out?

I think it is you and the Twinkies both.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I can see it now, we'll have October baseball 2 years from now, it will be game 1 of the ALCS, Trevor May starting game one, and the ESPN broadcasters have to describe to the audience why May's nickname is "The Vulture"!!!

[AlwaysinModeration]

When did AJ Achter get called up?

[stringer bell]

Bremer saying it was an ugly game. It was an ugly half game, but they won the second half 3-0. Much more crisp than the last four and a half games.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hey!

 

We got a winning record again!

 

Hip Hip Hooray!

 

Huzzah!

 

And there was much rejoicing!

 

Oh, and bein' a stickler for detail, i don't think it got said...

 

WINNAH!

 

(How was that, Chief?)

[LaBombo]

Tom Hanneman's postgame assessment of Pelfrey tonight:

 

"Pelfrey was not crisp."

 

Visual aid for those who weren't able to watch the game:

A more apt visual aid, I cannot imagine...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

You could also compare Pelfrey's crispness tonight to an hours-old bowl of cereal; each soggy cheerio representing a Pelfrey fastball:

[DaveW]

Wow! Nice win

[formerly33]

 

Red is to close to the color purple and is a base in that color, and those dudes that wear Purple in this town have red in their crowns and never win Championships.

Purple = Red + Blue.

 

I hate to say this, but at least one part of your argument was groundless.

 

[Circus Boy]

 

I don't know if the coaches aren't getting scouting reports, or if Pelfrey is only comfortable throwing certain pitches, or if Suzuki isn't calling good pitches, or what.

 

Well, yes.
