I was going to get started on my essay but looks like I can listen to wigwams and shitpost occasionally as a I pretend to do it
>no Slamtana leadoff
The great experiment is dead.
>>67105954
Francona said tomorrow he'll be back. Didn't want him in leadoff against a lefty or something
WHY ISNT BRANTLEY IN THE LINEUP
HE BETTER PINCH HIT AT SOME POINT
>>67105954
Better question, why isn't Kip leading off? Waiting for Brantley to take the 3 spot?
Is there even such a thing as a Minnesota fan?
getting btfo already
>>67106032
Oh yeah, I saw Tito said that.
This is why no Brantley today: https://twitter.com/MLBastian/status/724721569705132032

To be fair I was confident Salazar would get out of the inning. But this team can have bad days early.

>>67106703
hey how's your week off, Cap?
>>67106729
I go back to work tomorrow. It was great baseball-wise. I'll take a sweep of Detoilet any day.
>>67106726
Won't need a 5th starter until like May 7th. I wonder if they'll go with Clevinger over House.
>>67106778
Knowing Tito, he'll roll with House. He's got a lefty fetish.
>>67106778
Honestly we probably won't see Clevinger until roster expansion unless Tomlin goes down again, and possibly another. The other option that's been floated out there was to reinsert McCallister back into the rotation and call up Armstrong or Adams.

Don't think Zmac is ever going back in the rotation. Too many other options.

Another long relief day for Bauer on the way?
>>67106983
It's already been brought up. Francona even stated in a conversation recently when asked about the success of the back end of the rotation. The reporter named all but him and Tito said, "Well, don't forget about Zack. He's worked really hard and don't be surprised if he finds his way back into the mix."
I get it. He's tall and throws a great curveball. He's a coaches wet dream.
>>67107147
Wait, my feed went dead, didn't realize there were 2 outs already
>>67107162
and then there's
>shaw
>>67107185
Shaw is permanent bullpen. He had a couple good years, he's lost something. I don't know if it was his intensity or the threat of facing Pestano or Old Man Atchison being gone, but he's just not where he was in 2013/2014
BABYFACE
RAMIREZ
This is where they need to smell blood and go for the kill. Ducks on the pond, no outs.
>>67107162
Maybe it's just to give Zmac misguided hope? His only effective pitch is a fastball.
ayyy davis why
Ugh
>>67107374
His curve is pretty damn tough when he can work it in. The big difference is, as you said, his fastballs. He went from throwing his around 90-91 mph as a starter, to 95-97 as a reliever.
damn it rajai
Once again. Shooting themselves in the foot.

Twinksfags... I'm rooting for you this season. I feel a broship between us and WhoSox. But I'm really wanting another sweep, no offense.
>>67107635
>>67107668
nah I'm from Cleveland. I'm just not in denial every year that we're not gonna blow, like we do every year. Every. Year.
>>67107635
Like we'd ever brag about recent playoff appearances. The TIMBERWOLVES have won a playoff game more recently than the Twins.
>>67107895
Assuming you're not bullshitting, what are you even doing in here? You're a Twins fan?
>>67107895
Again, we're here to have fun
>>67107895
Baseball is more unpredictable than football or basketball. Optimism is warranted in baseball. Football and basketball, not so much.
Time for SLAAAAAMTANA
>>67108021
The only thing that's guaranteed in baseball is that the Twins will play like cucks in New York
>>67107971
Saw it in the catalog and just wondered why people watch this sad franchise anymore. The roster is completely different every 3 years because they don't resign anyone once they're good. Every year, half the team is "prospects". Only one will be good, and he will promptly get shipped away, and the Indians will finish in 3rd again, and you all will think "next year's our year!" There's a reason attendance is tanking, it's because more and more of the city is waking up to the fact that the current owners are unwilling to spend money to put out a quality product.

Yeah you sound like a Clevelander. Seriously though the Indians are playoff caliber. This isn't Acta era anymore
>>67108130
Terry Ryan brought in some Asian to strike out 200 times instead of bullpen help the Twins needed with the softest closer in the league.

>>67108579
Just pray that Uribe gets hurt
>>67108606
He hit one tonight too. He was bothered by injuries last year so I know he can be at least average offensively and plus defensively if given the chance

Good call. It was insanely close. Lindor makes it look intense.
Damn he used up all his magic tonight
>>67109376
He transferred it to Napoli for the tag.
What
What the fucking shit? A bad call, now a balk...
Twins winning next 17 games cap this
>>67109594
Nah
I do expect some 8th inning Twins meme magic, only for Jepsen to blow it in the 9th
Hopefully dozier bats, hes raked against salazar over his career
>>67109594
On what, the ump giving it to them?
>>67109617
Yeah thats way more likely. Twins ran out of meme magic during last years all star break
>>67109633
Salazar isn't long for the game.
damn salazar is really pushing it

Poor guy. I'd be disheartened too

Well, shit. I'll just check the score tomorrow morning in the paper. Enjoy the rest of the game.
I'm frankly pissed that the challenge didn't work. It should have. That was an out

Woohoo. Twins have always been 90% meme magic
Still have a change but 4 straight wins is probably asking for much.

>>67110725
I dunno, last year at least, the replay thing seemed pretty good. This year it seems like they're blowing more and more calls.
Someone just said they're challenging like 40% more calls this year, wonder if that has something to do with it.
I want his seed
>>67110851
No homo?
>>67110841
And what's worse, the replays are taking longer just to get the call wrong again. You'd think for stuff like this we'd have tennis-style 10-second replays
>>67110868
Yes
>>67110898
They probably outsourced the replay center to india, to a bunch of ragheads with only cricket experience, who are losing their minds just trying to understand the english of the umps, much less get a call right.
I hope their bullpen stinks
>>67111043
Oh trust me, it does

Like a true American company
Jesus, leaveland might be worse than the Twins.

No, Tribe aren't supposed to take the lead here
They're supposed to take the lead in the 9th

Not worth the risk, too weird of a bobble, he probably would have gotten thrown out of he ran.
Do you twins guys actually watch baseball ever?
Fuck.
>>67111521

Ugh another called third strike

I grant the Browns are always Browns but they're looking good desu
I have a question, and I guess I'm too new to baseball to aptly know about this, why does nobody move to try to get to first? They don't run
>>67111716
Since our Brownies are supposed to win no games by the odds, we'll pull off at least a couple of upsets
