Game Thread: Twins @ Phillies 4:05PM PT (6:05 CT) 4/05/2019

[ashbury]

Bases loaded, 3-0. Ugggggggh.

[Doomtints]

Deja vu of the previous manager not knowing when to pull a pitcher who is obviously struggling.

[Danchat]

If Garver catches that foul tip on a 3-2 pitch to Harper, we aren't in this situation...

[bighat]

Wow. Rosario didn't get it into the infield soon enough there. Awful game from Eddie tonight.

 

This team looks pretty terrible tonight. Really ugly stuff.

[wabene]

Yikes that's what great about baseball there's another one tomorrow

[Mike Sixel]

Bases clearing single?

[Heinie Manush]

Awful effort all around.

[drock2190]

Nothing like a single that scores 3 runs.

 

Must have been Byron Buxton on 1st base.

[ashbury]

Bases clearing single?

Rosario helped. He should have chalanted it. Instead, he non-.

[jkcarew]

It's not meaningless. It's just not very significant.

If 10 TB in one game isn’t very significant...how many more would it take?

[bighat]

 

Bases clearing single?

 

Yep. Clean single to left, Rosario fielded it and just...held the ball. He just never threw it in. Harper noticed and just kept running. It's pretty much exactly what Rosario does to opposing players all the time, yet he let Harper do it to him. Think the guy needs a day off tomorrow, he's a train wreck tonight.

[Blake]

This is three bad games in a row now.

 

Completely unacceptable.

The Wikipedia page has already been updated with Polanco's meaningless achievement.

Doesn't the HOF have a plaque listing the players who have hit for the cycle? Dude is in the HOF now.

[ashbury]

It's not meaningless. It's just not very significant.

The Wikipedia page has already been updated with Polanco's meaningless insignificant achievement.

 

FTFM

[VATwinsFan]

9 walks, 6 of which by my count scored, vs 1.

[wabene]

Can't believe I'm still here. Neshek!(the one that got away)

[Don Walcott]

Astudillo with the big D!

Enough to highly correlate with a win for your team.

Is there a source other than mlb.com that prople prefer to check the status of a game in progress? For some reason, when I’m on gameday, some stupid walmart ad pops up. Frequent problem on that site. Highly annoying.

I use CBS game tracker....alas, they've got a twitter feed that scrolls on the side that features reporters who cover each team. Including Mike Bernardino, who left the Pioneer Press 8 months ago to cover sports in Indiana. So tonight's Twins/Phillies game tracker feed is full of insightful tweets about Notre Dame women's basketball.

The ESPN site lets you watch the box score without being forced into that annoying gameday interface.

So, then maybe 15-20 TB in one game would be significant?

[Mr. Brooks]

If 10 TB in one game isn’t very significant...how many more would it take?

I think the point is that one of each HR,3B,2B,1B isn't really any more significant than say, 2 HR and a 2B, both are 10 bases. One is just more quirky than the other so we take note of it.

Polanco goes to 11...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sorry i missed out on most of the game...

 

And to add to the tragedy of tonight, i asked for chicken fingers and got chicken wings.

[AlwaysinModeration]

0 for 2 on Odorizzi starts.

 

Well, now we get to see if Pineda can pitch more than 4 innings, since he lost his shadow.
