April 3, 20179 yr This is what happens when you gut the strength of your team. So you're not in favor of the Twins trading away the Belisle, Breslow, Kintzler trinity? Pretty much the same thing.
April 3, 20179 yr I thought this was Justin Haley's role? Yeah, supposedly Belisle is one of our late inning guys. Why use him with a 6 run lead?
April 3, 20179 yr I thought this was Justin Haley's role?Haley can only be trusted with 6-run deficits.
April 3, 20179 yr Mollie's not nervous, His gum chewing speed (gcs) is below 2,000 jaw clenches a second....
April 3, 20179 yr Author In all seriousness... (I have to type something like that when I'm actually serious). I wonder about Buxton 3 and Mauer 4 like everybody else but... I believe that Mauer should be handcuffed to Buxton hitting behind him in the order. So... 3 4 is kinda OK with me. OK... I'll duck behind furniture now to avoid the tomatoes.
April 3, 20179 yr Yeah, supposedly Belisle is one of our late inning guys. Why use him with a 6 run lead?If Belisle is only a late-inning guy, he could go weeks without pitching. Might as well start showcasing him early.
April 3, 20179 yr CASTRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the Royals Bay of Pigs.Like. (I keep forgetting I've reached my quota and keep hitting the stupid button)
April 3, 20179 yr It's been a long cold winter LaBombo. Good to see you back at the Game Thread bar! Thanks, you too! The Twins' off season was so intense that I had to breathe into a paper bag for a few... months, but I'm ok now. Thank goodness it was the Twins who score when I showed up, or I might have been forced into another month or two of hibernation.

Yeah, as if furniture is cover for incoming mortar fire.
April 3, 20179 yr Matt Belisle doesn't make it a trial!Sorry, friend, but I don't have enough 'likes' left to waste one on that.

I believe that Mauer should be handcuffed to Buxton hitting behind him in the order. So... 3 4 is kinda OK with me. OK... I'll duck behind furniture now to avoid the tomatoes. Because the results today have been so encouraging?

So, how much furniture do you have? Need to schedule warmup time....
April 3, 20179 yr Yeah, supposedly Belisle is one of our late inning guys. Why use him with a 6 run lead?Because Molitor would really like to avoid going 0-9 again this year.
April 3, 20179 yr Like. (I keep forgetting I've reached my quota and keep hitting the stupid button)Since I knew I'd run out, I have been holding them back and using them mostly on Mike's post ... because it's his birthday today ... and I have been enjoying his Spanish posts ... and 4-5 pages went by too quickly with that last inning so it's more like 9-10 since I last mentioned it!
April 3, 20179 yr leaving wood in to rot.You know it's bad when the water's not even beading. Edited April 3, 20179 yr by LaBombo
April 3, 20179 yr Good win.Hopefully they can jump off to a nice start this season. Just need to go 80-81 the rest of the way to go .500 now!
April 3, 20179 yr Shows a lot of guile. Turns up the dial? No need to force down bile? racks up outs in a pile? lays down some kitchen tile?
April 3, 20179 yr Turns up the dial? No need to force down bile? racks up outs in a pile? lays down some kitchen tile?Gets outs with style.
April 3, 20179 yr Cory just mentioned that the winning pitcheo the last time the Twins gano their opener was Hernandez. LIVAN Hernandez.
April 3, 20179 yr Good win.Hopefully they can jump off to a nice start this season. Just need to go 80-81 the rest of the way to go .500 now!Well, win this one today and it's already a way better start to the season than last year. It's not really a stretch.
