Article: Series Preview: Twins @ Indians, 5/3

[Gibby]

Best bullpen in the Al.

OK, who expected Roenicke to pitch this well? Not me.

[big dog]

The problem with Parmelee is that if he moves to his "natural" position, he has to hit a hell of a lot more than he does right now. At least with Plouffe, you can deal with a .740 OPS if he figures out how to play third.

 

True. I guess I'm thinking he would be more comfortable hitting at first, and that it might get easier for him while playing outfield. You could easily substitute "hoping" for "thinking" there.

Well, I'm hoping that they both earn their way into starting every day. They're not far from it right now.

It's a pretty long list.

 

1. His mother

2. His grandmother

His sports shrink.

[big dog]

Wow, that was close. The Indian's TV announcer had a complete Bremergasm there.

[Gibby]

When a reliever obviously doesn't have his stuff, why stay with him?

Top of the ninth tied. Let's go, boys.

[Gibby]

Sweet

[Gibby]

Chicago just scored against the Wild.

[Gibby]

I'd pinch hit the hammer here.

I came home to watch and got to see Burton struggle and Dozier boot the double play. Should have stayed at the office.

Naw, it's a good situation. Twins will win dramatically in the 11th.

[Riverbrian]

This game could go 22 innings. It could but it won't...

[glunn]

Indians announcers like Fein's slider.

[big dog]

Let's hear it for Casey Fien and the Twins Bullpen.

[Riverbrian]

I like when Pitchers come off the mound pumped. It's like a cue to the offense... I did my job... Do yours now.

That might make us miss Butera's role as a backup pitcher. Maybe Plouffe could pitch.

Do I remember Butera being pretty successful on the mound?

[Gibby]

Come on TPlooffe

[glunn]

Plouffe!!!

I think may have a perfect era.

A couple passed balls and this game is ours.

[glunn]

Should Fein come back out?

[Riverbrian]

Should Fein come back out?

 

Yes

[Gibby]

Should Fein come back out?

 

With a short leash I hope.

[IdahoPilgrim]

With a short leash I hope.

 

And a shock collar.
