May 17, 201610 yr This ain't over. You can call me seduced by 2 games in a row, but I really wanna beat the Tigers brains in today, and make 'em start to sweat that 8 run lead. Keep the pedal down, boys.
May 17, 201610 yr Trevor Plouffe just stole 3rd.I'm going to go out on a limb and say this was an example of Molitor's high Baseball IQTM making the call, to try and abuse their poor-fielding third baseman.
May 17, 201610 yr I am getting the goose bumps about the Twins like I did back in 1993 with Chevy Chase's late night show and in 1995 with movie "Showgirls". I feel electric!
May 17, 201610 yr So, anyone watch Berrios warm-up tonight> We basically have two pitching coaches, a manager, a catcher catching his stuff before the game. We let him walk four, give up three hits, get a couple outs. Let him throw another 40 pitches and keep going at this point. You allowed the hole to get that deep (although we are battling back, it seems). I hope he gets one more opportunity before exchanging out for Gibson. Or maybe two. But something is wrong with the field management issues here. Definitely the guy wasn't ready to pitch tonight.

May 17, 201610 yr Author Just got off the phone with Terry Ryan... Here's the Transcript: TR: Hello Me: Terry... It's Riverbrian... Are you watching the game? TR: No... but this the 13th call I've gotten asking me that Me: Who else has called? TR: Let's see... Jim Pohlad, Paul Molitor, Paul again, Tom Kelly, Dave St. Peter, Paul Again, Seth Stohs, Some Joker who called himself Chief, Paul Again, Neil Allen, Paul Again, Bud Selig and now you. Me: I Suppose they all wanted to talk about Berrios. TR: Yeah... Except for that Chief guy... He was talking about JR Graham and something about 25 man rosters and... I don't recall... I wasn't really listening... I was busy reading your game thread open and it took all my concentration. I felt it was a little long. Actually a lot long. Me: Yeah... I didn't want to cut anything from thought #3 because I felt it was necessary to portray what a bad day he was having. TR: I didn't read that part... you lost me when the kids were whining about air conditioning and this damn phone kept ringing. Me: I know you are busy so I won't keep you. Just wanted to say... Don't give up on Berrios yet. Let him work out his kinks with the big club. He's had some encouraging innings so far.... Terry? You still there? Terry? TR: No I'm not... Bad cell service here... I think we got cut off. Me: Can you hear me now? TR: Nope can't hear you... I think we got cut off.
May 17, 201610 yr Holy Moley. This is like the way we've been losing. It's so nice to see it on the other side for a change.
May 17, 201610 yr Author Trevor Plouffe just stole 3rd. Yeah Stole it away from Sano when he wasn't looking.
