[Mill1634]

Sorry for the delay everyone, I am busy setting up for graduation, so just getting this put up. 

 

Won't have too much of a write-up, because once again, I am getting set up for graduation.

 

Appologies to everyone. 

 

Go Twins. Just like Brian Dozier, I am a streaky game thread intro performer. 

 

I promise I'll go 4-4 next time.

Twins win, 5-2.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Lance Lynn has a 3.00 ERA in May.

[USAFChief]

If this goes sideways, I blame Alwaysinmoderation.

If this goes sideways, I blame Alwaysinmoderation.

Just don’t come trying to get on the bandwagon after we’ve left the station, Chief.

[USAFChief]

An oldie but a fav, to get us off on the wrong foot:

 

Took my granddaughter to the new zoo here in Tucson. We were pretty disappointed, they only had one animal. A dog.

 

It was a shih tzu.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Chief, I really enjoy this quality time together.

[AlwaysinModeration]

I’ll even humor you by asking for another joke.

[Mill1634]

DOZ-BOMB!!!!!

 

 

HELL YEAH!!!!!

 

I should start game threads more often. 

[OTPS300]

Dozier is definitely warming up.

[David HK]

 

Twins win, 5-2.

You must be in my time zone...

[DocBauer]

Really like the move of Mauer to leadoff and Dozier in the 2 spot. Just makes so much sense!

[DocBauer]

Yes, I'm an eternal optomist, but I have a good feeling about Lynn tonight. He was a totally different pitcher last time out. Looked like the guy we thought we signed for the first time.

[David HK]

Yikes-  just a glance at 5 thru 9 in the Twinks lineup-  Those are some punishing BAs....

 

But then again, a glance up at the scoreboard shows Tampa and the O's playing a double header today- talk about punishment....

[Mill1634]

Lynn can't afford to fall behind against this lineup

[Mill1634]

Pretty nice inning by Lance "Beef" Lynn

[Mill1634]

Appears Buxton could have used a rehab assignment. 

[drock2190]

Buxton strikeout. 

 

Color me surprised.

[Mill1634]

4 DP's in 11 innings?

[OTPS300]

If the over under for the Twins K's was 10 tonight, would take the over.

[David HK]

 

Pretty nice inning by Lance "Beef" Lynn

Heh....

I hope he stays Lance "Beef" Lynn, and doesn't regress again to Lance "Meat" Lynn

[drock2190]

Rosario will be anxious and swing at the first pitch and ground out.

 

Watch.

[Mill1634]

I know there are two outs with that rally, but have to get at least one with the bases loaded. Especially with it being the middle of the order. The bottom of the order is.....automatic outs

[Aggies7]

Calhoun is enraging how he walks around the plate after fouling off.

 

Also enraging how he’s hitting .160 and seems to reach base every time up

[Aggies7]

I knew not scoring last inning would be big.

[Aggies7]

This should end really well.

[Mill1634]

Very smooth play by Fogo...Lynn allowing way too many baserunners. 

[Aggies7]

Oh boy

[Aggies7]

Great effort joe

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton strikeout.

 

Color me surprised.

Didn't know my crayon box had that colour...
