Correct. Twins pitching is like

Right now I'd say a pay cut in his next contract...

I'm not sure which is worse... watching the Twins not give the Dodgers a game, or listening to Bremeau backstop the Dodgers' decision to not even give Kershaw a chance to get a couple of quick outs to extend his 80 pitch perfect game and see where it went from there.

Sitting a guy with a perfect game through 7 on 80 pitches would've been almost universally panned all the way up through the early 2000's, I think.

Twins looking for more consistency from their pitching, and they get consecutive homers to the same seat in right field...

Not to mention some on-field jawing that turns into a bench-clearing donnybrook. Be sure to stretch before punching and head-locking, bench guys!

You've got my vote. Unless it's an actual monarchy sort of thing, then... fealty, I guess?

Watching the comparison of Kershaw's identical delivery of the fastball and slider even in slow motion along with the Twins' resulting swings and misses makes me wonder how the Twins have put the ball in play 6 times.

Caught a snippet of Barreiro in the car yesterday, plugging the Twins' series with the Dodgers. He specifically mentioned the chance to see Clayton Kershaw, 'one of the all-time Dodger greats, although no longer in his prime'. Lucky us.

Winner winner.

Yep, but keep it on the down low. The less people know about what's in there, the better.

Does it count if the bat doesn't hit the ball? Because Sano's swing generates a vortex that's going to connect for an infield single any day now.

No way I'm watching that if the players are allowed to buy a bowel.

If I may be so bold, this play on words just needed a little pagan visual aid...

Sorry, can't do it. Wes Johnson told us to rip that page out. And also the pages about sabermetrics for poetry...

The worst part is that I figured that's what you meant and posted that anyway. But on the bright side, nobody got slapped, or a 10 year ban from the Motion Picture Academy...

Yeah, back off you guys... . So hands off!

Usually nobody accuses me of spamming until at least 10 posts. Sorry, didn't have time to warm up today...will try to bring it up a notch for you guys.

Looks like pulling up the game thread today honored me with the prestigious and highly coveted 'Get Off My Lawn" TwinsDaily achievement. In lieu of gifts, donations may be made to the Tyler Duffey's Career as a Closer Memorial Fund.

Over the objections of absolutely no one... other than Duffey's agent.

When I opened the game thread in a small browser window, the Hamilton banner caused Squirrel's post to be rendered as just... and nothing else. Sort of made me wonder what I've missed in the offseason.

Quality AND quantity!!!

We'll cross the finish line together, my friend.

Nuhuh! There's weeds on the outfield walls and the entrance was in The Blues Brothers!
