Well, the good news is they already missed the 2nd inning, so they absolutely cannot GIDP in every inning tonight.

They still have a shot at 8/9 though, which is still pretty impressive.

Here we go, another runner on first.

Yes!

Hahahaha another leadoff runner on, another double play. This is amazing.

Like clockwork.

My guess is they'll do it twice in some other inning, to make up for it. I know, I know, there are only three outs an innings, but never underestimate the ability of the Twins to find a way to do it.

Only four more to set a new record.

Twins have 3 runs but 0 RBI.

 

Weird.

Twins Baseball™?

3 runs scored without an arr-bee-eye.

Only four more to set a new record.

I was just about to ask what the single-game record is. Four more is definitely doable.

I'll lay 2-1 a Twins hitter gets HBP in the next 2 innings.

Need a baserunner here.

Nooooooooo Brian, stay at first!

No chance for a double play this inning. Bummer.

So much for making history, they may as well go ahead and win now.

A 4-pitch walk to Butera. How in the world does that happen?

Just thought I'd join this thread to say what a bang up job Frankie has done tonight.

Omfg they are doing the wave. I must not be at a baseball game

Any father/son combos near by who look like they may jump onto the field? Counting on you to diffuse any potential situation.

Promises of post-game body shots should suffice.

Only 2 more to tie the record.

 

 

 

If my research is right, 7 DP's has only been "accomplished" twice in a 9 inning game.

Imagine that, another GBDP. Joe this time.

How depressing is it that the main focus for the rest of the game is whether or not the Twins will set a record for futility?

Atta keep the ball off the ground Doumit!

There is something to cheer about

Dozier obviously isn't buying into the DP experience.

And the DP record is safe.
