LOL Dusty really did take Verlander out the egg on my face goes well with the crow on my plate -
Had an awesome delivery—when he wasn’t too far in the tank. mine were originals by the way

Channeling Mitch Hedberg: I do not order chicken fingers because I think it’s cruel to cut off their little fingers and serve them as food. Give me your meat instead, little chicken. Sure, your hands may now be clean, but the part where you touched the soap dispenser remains dirty. (helps if you read in Mitch Hedberg’s voice)

And a reverent hush settles over the game thread, as Justin Verlander puts down the Twins in order, yet again
-
I did my 3 and a half minutes, and ran out of material
-
Uh oh here comes the Gardy version of Rocco
-
But Verlander won’t get through the third time through the order until sometime late in the 9th inning
-
Through five, and the only Twins baserunner has reach via the strikeout wild pitch
-
Other than that, how was the game thread tonight?
-
Yeah he’s throwing straight breaking pitches aint he
-
Too soon for the “Buxton catches that” jokes?
-
Nice at bat by Miranda. 97.3 mph line out to deep right
-
“Good bye, Mister Bregman”
-
Then it was “must be sticky stuff” nope not that either
-
That is awesome! … proving that the best jokes are always spontaneous

Channeling Norm MacDonald the G.O.A.T. on Weekend Update: “The Minnesota Twins announced today that pitcher Tyler Mahle, a recent trade acquisition, would be heading to the 15-day Injured List with an unspecified arm injury. “President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey said the Twins were trying to figure out ways to reduce the numbers of pitchers with injuries on their staff” … You know, here’s an idea for how the Twins can reduce the number of pitchers with injuries: Stop trading for pitchers with injuries.

That’s the punchline of a joke somewhere

Here’s my favorite home grown Twins joke, courtesy of yours truly ”Do you know the quickest way to get thrown out of a bar or restaurant in the Twin Cities? Ask them to turn one of their monitors on to the Twins game.”
-
My favorite Twins joke, courtesy of Dan Cole, KFAN Common Man “I was walking back to my car, and discovered that someone had broken in to it, glass all over, and when I looked inside, someone had left a pair of Twins tickets on my dashboard.”
-
Ah the old strikeout wild pitch baserunner. Feels like a conspiracy to pad Verlander’s K total tonight
-
Or jokes!
-
I love when pitchers surrender screaming line drives to the outfield and then point their fingers in the air like, ‘you should have this’
-
It’s getting desperate around here—math is needed
-
Sonny Gray not too happy with Rocco...
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to Battle ur tail off's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I am seeing people using modern Statcast-type data to justify how the pitching has been used, but then fall back on the old fashioned stuff to lament how the offense has been struggling. Lack of 2 out hitting, can’t hit with runners in scoring position, and so on. (Not singling anyone out.) The recent stretch of games notwithstanding, it’s been the pitching, specifically the bullpen, that has hurt this team the most. Leads in the 8th and 9th inning, whether the score is 3-1 or 8-6, should result in wins, and too often this year, they haven’t, -
I think Correa’s plan was to opt out, but I wouldn’t bet on it at this moment. Turner and Bogaerts may want to stay put in LA and Boston, and the Yankees might throw all their money at retaining Judge. A new Correa deal would look paltry in comparison to Judge’s. The shortstop carousel that was expected this upcoming offseason may not materialize— yet to be seen.
