ANNND Welcome! To Minnesota Twins Whine Line: News at 6 Edition! I am your host and lead anchor for the next 2 days, Vanimal. We also have our trusty companion, Chief Meteorologist Intern! We have ourselves a BARN BURNER match up this weekend against Tampa near a Bay! Before we get into the HARD HITTING news stories of the day, let's talk lineups and weather....

 

Intern, err, I mean Chief Meteorologist Intern, take it away!

 

Van... They're playing in a dome today. Who cares about the weather?

GOOD POINT! That's why you're the chief meteorologist today... 
 

Minnesota Twins (8-6):

 

 

 

P - Kyle Gibson (R ) - 77 overall in MLB the Show! 

 

Tampa near a Bay Rays (6-13):

 

 

P - Blake Snell (L) - He's won his last 2 starts... With 12 IP 19 K's and 2 ER

 

 

 

ANND welcome to "Florida News" -- we appreciate you choosing us as your primary source for all things FLORIDA. If you're new to the show, anytime you hear a story starting with "A Florida man..." You know you're in for something WEIRD. We're no different at the Whine Line Studios! So let's think about Florida news, and remember why you shouldn't live there!

 

Our top story tonight... Has your car been punched recently at the grocery store? Police were able to arrest a Florida Man after finding him in his birthday suit punching cars... According to police, the Florida man only had 'one beer' and was charged with disorderly public intoxication.

 

In other news, have YOU received a spam call offering fake travel deals?! The Intern was duped by a Florida Man who was charged with making nearly 100 million of these calls to people around the US! The Florida man denied these allegations in court recently, in an effort to drop the FCC's fine of $120 million. Good luck, Florida Man... And never call me again!!

 

In our DEVELOPING story, can cocaine fly? It turns out a Florida woman believes so, because she has NO IDEA how a bag of cocaine ended up in her purse. In fairness, it was a windy day when she was pulled over by police... The Intern will be conducting a full analysis at 10 to find out if drugs can indeed fly through the wind... Tune in tonight!*

*Drugs are bad, mmmkay? Don't do drugs kiddos!

 

Finally, let's check in with Chief in sports! He went to the STREETS, and found a Florida woman who was ready to steal the show...

And that concludes our broadcast this evening. Thank you for choosing FLORIDA NEWS as your primary source for all things Florida. We'll see you back at 10, and GET A WIN TWINS!

Now i wanna learn to play a conch...

I am not a fan of having to face the opponent's top starters in every series so far.

Grossman at cleanup. Oh boy!

Grossman at cleanup. Oh boy!

What does that portend?

 

A messy game?

 

Grossman at cleanup. Oh boy!

 

In fairness, in light of recent events, people in Florida probably cringe when a news story starts with "A Minnesota woman...".

And lineup-ness:

 

1. Brian Dozier ( R) 2B

2. Joe Mauer (L) 1B

3. Miguel Sano ( R) 3B

4. Robbie Grossman (S) DH

5. Eddie Rosario (L) LF

6. Mitch Garver ( R) C

7. Ehire Adrianza (S) SS

8. Max Kepler (L) RF

9. Ryan LaMarre ( R) CF

 

1. Denard Span (L) LF

2. C.J. Cron ( R) DH

3. Carlos Gomez (R ) RF

4. Brad Miller (L) 1B

5. Daniel Robertson ( R) 3B

6. Joey Wendle (L) 2B

7. Wilson Ramos ( R) C

8. Mallex Smith (L) CF

9. Adeiny Hechavarria ( R) SS

 

Which team is which is left as an exercise to the reader.

 

Wouldn't want to spoil everything...

I am.

 

Bring it on!

I just cannot understand the Grossman inn the cleanup spot? I know metrics has changed how lineups are constructed, but seriously I never believed drawing a walk was one of the new criteria for the 4 hole?

Grossman as the cleanup hitter is pretty bad, but still not as bad as when Gimenez was the cleanup hitter that one time.

Or striking out looking...

Interesting, a pitcher wearing number 4. That's a rarity.

Didn't notice this last night -- the CF camera at the Trop is directly on line. Usually it's offset so the pitcher is to one side of the shot from the batter. I like this better because it's easier to see whether a pitch is over the plate.

Hey, there we go! Good to finally get a run early in a game.

A lead.

 

I could get used to that...

Grossman batting cleanup!!!!     

Grossman batting cleanup? Is that an impeachable offense? Obstruction of sanity?

Careful with the headbanging, which should be reserved for really rocking music only.

 

Do you hear such a beat?

Error by Dick. He referred to Span as Gibson's former teammate. Span was traded after the 2012 season. Gibson didn't play with the Twins until 2013.

Spring training count?

Grossman cleanup and Kepler 8th.

 

Reigning AL manager of the year, folks. 

Spring training count?

Well, that means a player has about 60 teammates each year. I'm just going by when games actually count.

They were teammates for 10 games in Rochester in 2011. I’m sure that’s what Dick was referring to.

Oh, OK. I'm sure Dick knows each player's history inside-out.

This is acceptable.

 

Carry on...
