Game Thread: Twins vs KC 5:10 PM PST (7:10 PM CDT) 8/2/2019

He’s a smart guy. No wonder he was such a great pitcher.

I could really get used to hearing him more often.

[Mill1634]

Really great play by Jorge to save a run there after a poor inning from Perez

[Don Walcott]

Polanco’s slumping, but he’s still fielding the position well.

[HawksNest]

What happened there with Perez?  

[bighat]

What the heck was that balk? Terrible.

 

Great play by Jorge Polanco to end the inning there. Gotta add on some more runs for sure.

[Nine of twelve]

Little bit of a blip from Perez there, now let's get the offense back in gear.

[DocBauer]

I know there are various opinions as to the "merits" of the various/number former Twins who spend time in the booth TV or radio, but I generally enjoy all of them in various ways.

 

Does anyone know if this unique to the Twins? I don't listen to or watch broadcast of other teams, for obvious reasons, but I'm willing to wager this in unique to the Twins.

[HawksNest]

That balk was beyond bizarre, it was like he short circuited or something. Really weird

[nicksaviking]

I’ve become less of a Sparkman fan the last couple of innings.

The only other broadcast I watch fairly regularly is the Rockies. They have a guest very occasionally. But it’s not often a former Rockie.

i wish fsn - in that little box would put where the infielders are, on all these shifts, thought Gonsalves had a hit

[luckylager]

To whomever it was that tipped me off to bilasport.net, thank you!  I was totally happy with my SlingTV arrangement until Disney/Sinclair got even more greedy and I ended up getting bounced.  I'm sure this is a temporary reality too. But for now, it's a good work-around.

Twins offense always seems to go through these listless mid-inning slumps after they score early. Twins just seem to get frustrated when things don't go their way offensively and it seems to be contagious. Not saying it's true, just looks like it from here.

 

That said, both the Arraez and Gonzalez balls could have been hits, right up the middle.

 

A shame that we're seeing Castro 2 games in a row. Guessing we'll see Garver for the next two, I hope.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Get him out

[Mill1634]

Welp this stings...Perez let them right back into this game. 

[HawksNest]

Ok......Cam Gallagher, really?

 

Just a brutal pitch.

 

Martin Perez is who we thought he was....

[bighat]

Goddang it, Perez. He's seriously the same guy he was in Texas at this point. A very, very hittable lefty who is erratic and can't be trusted.

Ya  t.y. i like it, the price is what caught me

[FLTwinsGuy]

Oh just great....

[Dakota15]

Can we pull Perez?  This dude is awful

[bighat]

Royals are scrappy. They look like the better team today. Dang it. Time for Perez to take a seat, pronto.

[MNT1996]

The way the KC/Twins games have gone this season I would swear these were the teams fighting for the division. Always close

[Don Walcott]

The only other broadcast I watch fairly regularly is the Rockies. They have a guest very occasionally. But it’s not often a former Rockie.

Case in point, tonight they have a front office guy in the booth. That seems to be the majority of their guests.

[operation mindcrime]

This is a very underwhelming performance from Perez!!!!

[FLTwinsGuy]

I hope Perez is one and done in Minnesota

[mrtwinsfan]

Polanco needs a 10 day break,  hasent been the same and its very Visisble, since b4 the all-star game ?

[bighat]

Nice pick, Ehire!

[operation mindcrime]

Nice play Adrianza!

[Mill1634]

Oof. And now we're down. Not good. 

[FLTwinsGuy]

GETTTTTT HIIIIMMMMM OUUUUUUT
