It's your parents fault! They should have been from Oregon. :). (For all I know they are)

Oregon is great. Good advice

    Garver seems to have come to the ballpark with the sole intention of making us pine for the defense of Matt Lecroy.

What did we do to deserve this lineup?

Don't complain.  Pick your players and numbers.  Big money on the line tonight.  

 

Pick your click, broken bats, strike outs.  A whole new world has opened up to you in your game thread experience.

Category 2: 6

Category 3: 1

Category 4: 1

 

Time of game: 3 hours 3 minutes

 

Side-bet: Total # of pitchers used by both teams combined: 7

Noted and booked.  Thank you for playing Superdave!

With this lineup, and the way they've played the last 2 weeks, as well as Toronto's track record in this stadium, it's hard to believe that the Twins are fairly heavy betting favorites tonight.

Not sure. That's a Dominoes game.  Not sure if they have a Game Thread experience.

I feel good about tonight's game. It's always darkest just before the dawn.

Blacker than the ace of spades.

This might be the greatest Game Thread ever.  Except when we win the ALDS and WS.  Just saying.

 

**This event is open to all people aged 18 and up. Must be present to win. Twins Daily does not take responsibility for any complaints or hurt feelings on part of the winners or losers. Belligerent behavior is not only allowed but encouraged.  Please PM Chief to settle any and all disputes.  Prizes vary and could create a tax issue with the IRS, State and local authorities. Twinssporto is not responsible for any illegal activity you decide to do on your own.  Please drink responsibly tonight. I'm so tired of the Twins poor play I want to scream!  I also don't like the "Rodney Experience". Why can't we seem to get the offense moving?  If anyone in the Twins front office is playing tonight on this Game Thread you are automatically disqualified.  You can't play until you field a better product.

 

 

DO NOT READ THE FINE PRINT!!1!

I did ,and a lot here will be out to the "drink responsibly" rule, so free to drink more for us, "can't win" ones.

How long til we fall behind by 5 runs?  Over/Under 4 innings.

You can place a bet on that number.  Just ask.

 

Who laces up the clown shoes tonight? I say Dozier.

 on the bench?

 

didn't you see that since they ran out of AA/AAA/AAAA RPs, they are now using them at 2B?

Edited by Mike Sixel

I’m cautiously optimistic that Petit taking Dozier’s spot is indicative that Molitor is going to start asserting himself with Dozier, re no more batting lead off.

Rule # 1  Never bet on a Minnesota team. Known in Vegas as a sucker's bet.

 

Rule # 2  Vegas doesn't offer an over/under on the Twins. Just an under.

I'd probably go Kepler, Mauer, Dozier, um, hmmmmm. Ya.

Rule # 2 Vegas doesn't offer an over/under on the Twins. Just an under.

I guarantee there are overs offered every day. Always on Twins runs and bullpen innings pitched.

 

In other news, Gonsalves has 1-hit Pawtucket through 7 IP so far

 

Was just about to post this, hope is a nice thing to have.

Except for 1987 and 1991.

 

And 2018...

Singular? Lately, there've been multiple candidates...

MAY we win today, please.

 

Depressing news about Sano, Buxton, and Petit getting called up. 

 

Good news on Santana.

 

 

Gibson continuing where he left off. Woo

Good Gibson.
