June 2, 20179 yr I'm glad this potent offense has no use for Vargas. On the bright side, they do have 683 fresh bullpen arms available, should Mejia not be able to pitch into the 8th tonight.
June 2, 20179 yr And apparently I was the last one to see that. I guess my feed is somewhat behind. Can I still say that I saw it live?
June 2, 20179 yr Author I was unable to watch the triple play. Did Bremer survive the call? He saw it right away. He inflected the very second the ball was hit. It was a good Bremer call.
June 2, 20179 yr What are you riding?A brand new Triumph Tiger 800 XCA. Extremely expensive, now even more so. Sigh.
June 2, 20179 yr Author And apparently I was the last one to see that. I guess my feed is somewhat behind. Can I still say that I saw it live? Yes you can Just omit the feed part and you are good to go.
June 2, 20179 yr Nothing quells the momentum of a triple play like a quick 1-2-3 inning by the offense
June 2, 20179 yr I haven't seen a Twins triple play in a long, long time. I think it was when Al Newman was playing 2nd. You almost have to have a third baseman with a rocket arm, like Sano's, or back then it was Gaetti. Edited June 2, 20179 yr by jimbo92107

I believe the last time I saw the Twins turn a triple play was against Cleveland and Al Newman was playing.
June 2, 20179 yr Author Meyer through five: 5.0 4 1 1 1 3 Meyer is looking like the pitcher we wanted him to be.
June 2, 20179 yr Shoot, if Mejia can induce triple plays, might as well walk the first three batters and then pitch to the fourth. Save some wear and tear on the old arm.
June 2, 20179 yr I'm actually glad to see Alex Meyer pitching well. He was snake-bit for such a long time. Maybe this time he'll finally catch on. Good luck to him.
June 2, 20179 yr Meyer is looking like the pitcher we wanted him to be. Yeah, that's pretty good line.
June 2, 20179 yr Author Does a triple play fall under the GIDP stat or is it lost in no-mans land? Good Question. Here's another one: is it the Pony, feather or hat that Yankee Doodle called Macaroni?
June 2, 20179 yr Shane Robinson? The Shane Robinson? Not much bat, excellent defensive outfielder?Sugar in the flesh
June 2, 20179 yr Shane Robinson? The Shane Robinson? Not much bat, excellent defensive outfielder?People assume his defense must be stellar because, well, look at that bat.
June 2, 20179 yr Author Let's all be honest: Who here really expected a pitching duel? I'm not surprised. Angels are missing Trout and Maybin. And Meyer throws these types of games every once in awhile. If the game would have been 12-10 after five innings... I wouldn't be surprised by that either.
June 2, 20179 yr A brand new Triumph Tiger 800 XCA. Extremely expensive, now even more so. Sigh.My condolences. Sliders and Chinese plastics FTW.
June 2, 20179 yr I'm actually glad to see Alex Meyer pitching well. He was snake-bit for such a long time. Maybe this time he'll finally catch on. Good luck to him. Just not the rest of this game.
June 2, 20179 yr If the game would have been 12-10 after five innings... I wouldn't be surprised by that either. That's impossible. Pressly is in Rochester.
June 2, 20179 yr Whew! Exams today, so just catching up- Gee Wally, who knew Alex Meyer would look like a world-beater? When he was with us, a lotta people thought he was a creep or sum'pin.
