GAME THREAD: Twins vs. Cleveland, 05/14/2022 @ 6:10 PM CST

Hey gang, stopping in late to say howdy. 

Great for Smeltzer. 

Miranda will be fine! Slow start to 2022, called up still getting his groove on, should have been up late in 2021 to get ready for 2022, but will be just fine eventually. Might need a reboot at St Paul,  but he'll be fine.

Someone should have told Kepler Bauer was pitching and not Bieber. Game would be a blowout at this point.

But the 2 old hecklers were gold

I think those two guys were named Statler and Waldorf, but that was a long time and many brain cells ago.

[Mill1634]

Not PH Buxton for Gordon in the 8th inning of a tie game is certainly a decision

these guys?

yup Statler and Waldorf. I have kids, we’re watching the muppet show (from when I was a kid, 40 years ago) and it’s hilarious 

[cHawk]

Can we just win the game already?

[cHawk]

Pretty please?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

C’mon Gilberto! Knock in Gordo

[stringer bell]

Good at-bat for Nick Gordon.

[stringer bell]

I'm not a big stolen base proponent, but if ever there was a time..........

They killed. Every show. The Swedish Chef was pretty funny too. Chicken in the basket as he's shooting hoops

[DocBauer]

Long as he doesn't over run the base again with all his speed, with 2 outs, do you run Gordon here? I think I would.

The muppets hold up pretty well, IMO.

Those two are brilliant!

[David HK]

Well, let's see.  Given the discussion about the young guys hitting higher, Celestino followed by Lewis should be the 1-2 hitters, rather than 8-9.  

Come on, young fellas!

[cHawk]

That ball almost got into center

[PDX Twin]

And Gordon got his capris dirty!

[DocBauer]

So I called it?

[cHawk]

1 run on 8 hits isn't going to get it done.

[stringer bell]

Duran pitching on back to back days.

[David HK]

OMG, I finally caught one of those "Freedom" ads people have been grumbling about.  

No kidding, I'm gnashing my molars at the very first one.  ?

And a very eclectic mix of 1970's guest stars.

I finally saw the Muppet Christmas Carol a couple of years ago.  While funny at times, it is pretty true to the story and.... Spoiler....  the Tiny Tim is dead scene with Miss Piggy and Kermit as the Cratchits is one of the more touching versions of that scene that I have seen.

[cHawk]

Good play by Sanchez

No lie, the scene where the office help screams "heat wave" had me laughing so hard I actually slipped out of my seat!

[cHawk]

I haven't been able to watch Duran pitch live much this year, but wow. His stuff is sick.

[cHawk]

Duran is ???

[Mill1634]

Fantastic stuff from Duran. I think you have to give him the 10th if it gets there.

[DocBauer]

Duran is a STUD! Now we need to win bottom of the 9th because I need to split for family time.

[Nine of twelve]

OK boys, get him on, get him over, get him in.

[cHawk]

LET'S GO TWINS

Won't see him until the next home stand after tonight

[stringer bell]

The K pitch was filthy. That is some kind of arm.

On a barely related note, we are three outs away from a ghost runner. Cleveland would have Franmil Reyes.
