Game Thread Royals @ Twins 6/15/19 6:10 PM CDT

[MVP Nick Punto]

Allllll right, Jorge, give 'em the business.

[operation mindcrime]

Good at bat from Kepler!!!

[MVP Nick Punto]

That is what I meant, Jorge. Good work.

[operation mindcrime]

POLANCO!!!!!!!!

[bighat]

This NBA-style music between pitches is ridiculous. I'm sorry, but I hate it.

[bighat]

Polanco! MVP!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Business given

Business given

 

 

Aw, you beat me...

[MVP Nick Punto]

Now, odo needs to get through one more inning, and we need to do bad things to the Royals in the bottom of the inning because I don't want our bullpen to take over a tie game

[MVP Nick Punto]

Ayyy, double playyy

[LaBombo]

 

This NBA-style music between pitches is ridiculous. I'm sorry, but I hate it.

 

Walk-up music was obnoxious when it started too. Just give it some time, and eventually between-pitch music will probably... cause you to have a dissociative episode like me.

[operation mindcrime]

I'm happy we got that double play!!!

[70charger]

I'm surprised Odo made it through six. Good for him.

[MVP Nick Punto]

I'm happy we got that double play!!!

I don't believe you

[LaBombo]

 

Aw, you beat me...

 

Just remember, GameThread is an exhibition, not a competition, so please...

 

 

... no wagering.

[operation mindcrime]

That was a great 6 pitch inning!!!

[LaBombo]

 

I'm surprised Odo made it through six. Good for him.

 

Yup, he was both scuffling and unlucky for most of the game. But if this is what his occasional bad start looks like, he's going to have a heck of a season.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Not to be a Negative Nancy (except totally to be a Negative Nancy), but Eddie looks better not swinging the bat to me, recently.

[Diesel]

That was a great 6 pitch inning!!!

Theoretically a pitcher could now throw only 9 pitches in a game. Not impressed until we get to that point

If Rocco goes to the bullpen, I will be praying for a Higher intervention

We are all of us beholden to the Weather Channel™

Jinxes tend to be pretty obvious, once you start to look for them. Anti-jinxes, OTOH, are kind of subtle and I'm really never sure whether or not we have one.

Jinxes don't count tonight anyway.  The rules are clearly spelled out in MLB.  Anytime a player gets his number retired Jinxes don't count that night.  Common rule.  

[MNT1996]

Gonzalez and Adrianza are becoming 2 of our most consistent hitters

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Oh my, Marwin is winning the exit velocity contest tonight. That single was roped.

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Marwin!!!

[operation mindcrime]

CROM!!!!!!!!!!!

[bighat]

Crom!

[MVP Nick Punto]

I feel like Cron does something here because of that broken bat last time. Yeah, like that.

[PDX Twin]

Not polite for Cron to interrupt the lady!

[PDX Twin]

Do you think Adrianza ever had a fantasy in which he was intentionally walked???
