I actually like that lineup if you just pick up Brian Dozier and Trevor Plouffe and replace them exactly with Park and Arcia.

And anybody who's even marginally heard of the game of baseball would see the sense in that and concur with you.  Except Molly.

This was the original thread used on May 9. We've decided to do a 're-run' for this makeup game. Today's posts (including today's lineups and weather) begins here.   Clearing 25- and 40-man roster spa

Yeah, pretty ... um ... what? I get Mauer lead-off, but Dozier 3rd and Plouffe 4th? Why not Sano 3rd, Park 4th, Plouffe 5th and Dozier 6th? Or something. But 3rd and 4th? Right... because it is possible for us to score fewer runs than we have.

I like the way your lineup looks with Dozier batting 6. He fits that roll.

You hate to get your starting pitchers all warmed up, and then have them only pitch 6 innings before the rain comes. :)

 

 

(oh wait, that's how Phil Hughes got his only victory this year)

I want to see more from Berrios. But the Twins starters haven't been making the rain-out requirement much in the past week.

 

Is that a rain cloud over Dave St. Peter leaving the Target Fields offices right now?

Seriously?

 

This should cause another closed door meeting at 1 Twins Way.

 

Watch the wire for a Weatherman placed on waivers. 

We've all seen this before. Weather system looks like it's going to pass right over the metro area, then it mysteriously does a 484/694 bypass. It's the Force, man... ;-)

Oh, i thought i was referencing the opening subtitles to the holy grail.

 

Shows what i know...

 

The people who have been entering my posts have been sacked-- I mean designated for assignment.

 

But that is indeed an extra-ordinary creature! What does it eat?

 

And hurray for not enduring ignominious defeat today! Indeed, the future looks less bleak!

I had to google the Monty Python Ralph the wonder llama reference. Which is unfortunate because I was a Monty Python groupie-wannabe back in the day. Shows what I know... :)

 

I have no idea what that creature is. I only posted that photo because I want one.

So when it rains, they get six innings out of a SP? I wonder if they could get five, using the sprinkler system?

It reminds me of Hannahs horse! So I was watching The Weather Channel this morning. They said last nights predictions for the TC were a "total system failure". Later in the broadcast they announced Jim Cantores hair dresser has been placed on waivers. He has since been claimed by the Trump campaign. To replace him the team has given Cantore a gift certificate to Great Clips.

Too be fair, i also didn't recall Ralph was his name, and, hoping the phrase wonder llama would be sufficient, almost posted Tippy the wonder Llama. Perhaps that would have been a brilliant conflation of Bob and Ray (not PHC) and Monty Python, but probably not...

 

Anyway, we totally postpowned that game!

Could be the longest game thread in history!

 

No, all I am saying is I think Sano is a 3 and Park is a 4 but give it a little more time for a few more reps. If by July Sano is not batting 3rd and Park is not batting 4th then there is seriously something wrong in Twinsville's management.

Looks like something was seriously wrong!
