Article: Game Thread: Twins v Padres, 9/12 @ 7:10pm CT

[spinowner]

C'mon, boys, keep stringing those hits together!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Type of game we need!

[yarnivek1972]

Getting a lot of knocks off Wood...

[jimmer]

2 out RBIs for Mauer.

[snepp]

Polancosie, long gonesie.

[PDX Twin]

$23m is a lot of money, but Mauer is sure worth a lot to the Twins right now. Others can probably calculate how much, but he is just so reliable in clutch situations.

[Craig Arko]

Work on that run differential.

Yeah, kind of like that.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

was in a 1-37 slump

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

2 out RBIs for Mauer.

who cares. What field?

[TwinsCD]

For the most part, we left the bats at home during that road trip.  Glad we found where we stored them.

[Puckett34]

The outfield. 

[IndianaTwin]

Well, in Strat-O-Matic, Wood is now tired.

[yarnivek1972]

I'm not sure anyone really saw Jorge has a double digit HR guy.

 

I know I did not. 34 career minor league HRs in 2500 PA.

[PDX Twin]

And the home stand is off to a good start!

8th in AL BA, 4th in AL OBP,

 

.318 BA and .881 OPS w/RISP

 

and GG defense.

I like the way Mr. Dozier showed some team spirit by leaving that RBI for Mr. Polanco.

Counting the minors, he was double digit last year too. Truthfully, that's why you look at age relative to league. He's been incredibly young for his age relative to the league for his entire minor league career. That is a big reason why he was liked as a prospect.

[yarnivek1972]

I can't believe they left Wood out there. Isn't 7 runs enough?

 

Edit: Is 9 enough.

 

btw, Gibson has a run support number of better than 6.

Yeah, the Padres are not a MLB team right now.

SD wants to save the pen for more winnable games.

[Squirrel]

My mom: Who's on second?

Me: No, Who's on first

Mom: I don't know. Who's on second?

 

Lol

[TwinsCD]

He hit like Fidel when he came back....now he's back to Jason.

[PDX Twin]

 

Why is Castro playing against a lefty?

 

Any more questions.

[yarnivek1972]

1/2 way to a cycle...

[snepp]

Attaboy Buck.

[TwinsCD]

Buxton:

 

"Gimme that"

[yarnivek1972]

Attaboy Buck.

Anyone trademark "Buck pluck" to describe a great catch by Byron yet?
