*5-16-19 M's Twinkies Game Thread*

[Ziskmagic]

Our Swanson leftovers vs. their Michael Pineda, with a massive helping of Boomstick Returns to Safeco Fi....errr... PMS Field at T-Mobile.

Will Pineda cover his cap and uniform in giant globs of pine tar, creating a spin rate that makes hitters heads spin, and renders Mike Blowers a-"typically" speechless?

Or will he be Michael Piñata, bestowing sweet treats upon our beloved Marineros?

Lineups not announced yet...I predict some minor rearranging of deck chairs on our end, and a damn fine lineup on theirs.

Twins
(27-15)
Michael Pineda RHP
2-3, 5.85 ERA, 35 SO

Mariners
(22-23)
Erik Swanson RHP
1-4, 6.35 ERA, 21 SO

No, its all good. Maybe Rocky can post the game thread rules.

[Ziskmagic]

Thanks...this game thread officially has asterisks, for my blatant breach of protocol, regardless of the purity of my intentions.

Hopefully Rocky will publish the list of penalties...I believe this is my 2nd violation.

Heard Cruz is banged up (his wrist). Not sure he's playing tonight.

Yeah too bad. Would have been nice for him to come to the plate to roars of the 7,598 fans there for first pitch.
