So two what the hell moments just happened back to back, courtesy of Dazzle.

 

1--Gladden mentions Royce Lewis hits a homerun (awesome!) in his first professional at bat against the GCL Orioles. This leads him to wonder if the homerun came against a rehabbing Justin Haley. Ummmm...why does Gladden thinkour pitcher be rehabbing for the Orioles?

 

2--Gladden speculates on whether Lewis might move up this year, and says he wonders if the Miracle will be his next stop. Does he really think Lewis is going to skip not only E-town, but low A too?

Post of the night thus far

I accept the challenge and TwinsNorth gets POTD? Were you an umpire in an earlier life?

Playing tuba. But just ordinary rehearsal. Where we get donuts and coffee at break, and i get to catch up score. I am but one of three tubaists...

Speaking of tuba concerts, the CSO is playing the soundtrack to the movie 'Jaws' this week. Our tuba player has been so excited for this ever since it was announced. His teacher played on the original soundtrack.

When I think of Tuba... I think of clumsy cartoon bear walking.

Well his defense saved 2 runs so...

Eddie is like one of those jelly belly bean-boozled jelly beans. He's either fantastic, or makes you want to vomit, with nothing in between.

Swinging out of the ol shoes tonight

The big monster has the effect. See the short porch and you just want to hit one to the Moon for some reason.

There we go. Someone got the joke. I was afraid my advanced age made the reference too old. 

I may be totally wrong but I'm a dancing fool.

Also, jelly bean in Spanish is jelly bean, which makes no sense, since jelly is gelatina, and bean is frijole. Damn you Ferdinand and Isabella!

[drock2190]

Moreland fouls one off his face!

I'm going to start calling them gelatina frijoles. That's to awesome to ignore.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Dazzle just mentions that Moreland beat the shift, and adds the obligatory, "if the Twins are playing straight up, that's an out". Just once I'd like to hear an announcer mention after a single up the middle "if the Twins are playing a shift, that's an out".

My four years of high school Spanish leads me to believe it would actually be frijoles de gelatina. Say it right so you don't get accused of cultural appropriation.

My two years of high school Spanish that I've mostly forgotten would agree with you. That doesn't quite roll off the tongue as well though. My wife won't care about cultural appropriation, she'll just call me an idot and move on.

Is that after you eat a "dense but radiant muffin of his own design"?

Well, certainly not that yellow snow.

[Bark's Lounge]

Ahhhh... The good ol' days.

[Craig Arko]

Ahhhh... The good ol' days.

I love this film.

 

[wsnydes]

Please tell me that was not Matt Belisle warming and that I've too much scotch.

We can tell you that but we'd be lying.

[wsnydes]

Next I suppose that your going to tell me that there aren't any u's in colour, Pourl Jam and favourite and I've been using the wrong "your" this entire thread too.

[drock2190]

No double play Vargas!

[Riverbrian]

Alright... I have officially changed my mind. 

 

Automate that strike zone. 

 

 

[Jham]

Rally caps...

I am not Mitch McConnell.

[amjgt]

Nice 6-ball walk by Vargas

[Aggies7]

Pinch runner in the 7th

[Riverbrian]

 

Am I the only one iritated because Vargas is up in a critical situation?  What is he , about 5 for his last 30?

 

Not me

 

Vargas can drive one at any moment. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Nice ball/strike calling that at bat

 

/sarcasm

[SwainZag]

Thank God Kennys got walked, he didn't see a strike the whole AB

[jimbo92107]

Impressive. Sale didn't throw a single pitch in the zone to Vargas, but the moron behind the plate called two of them strikes. Seemed like that ump reeeeally wanted to help Sale strike out Vargas. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

An admitted bunt situation, rare!
