Game Thread: Twins vs KC 4:40 PM PST (6:40 PM CDT) 9/19/19

So, Indians have Philly at home who still have a faint glimmer of hope for the wildcard...very faint, the White Sox on the road who are not good, but have a good core of talent, and finish at Washington who really needs to play well to hang on to the wildcard.  That last series is the most interesting one in baseball to me.  Two teams that need to win to get in...playoff baseball a few days early.

No d.h.  no Reyes maybe

With the homers settling things down here's an uplifting report from Cleveland

 

Edwin Jackson coming in to shut down the Indians in the 5th

That should work.

Hope Thorpe does a replay of the last 3 batters of the first inning of his game on Saturday.

[mrtwinsfan]

Every batter is nailing Thorpe

Guess not.

I don't know about done as a Twin, but I would like to see us start one of the young guys and move Gibson to the pen. It isn't like we are going to rely on Gibson to start a playoff game for us (assuming we make it), so why not move him to the pen now and start Thorpe (lefty).

Because he’s worked so well as a reliever?

 

Also, Thorpe isn’t proving to be much better.

SEASON OVER. I'M GOING TO SET MYSELF ON FIRE.

 

 

Send me the keys to your car and tell me where it's parked first?

I appreciate your sentiment...I've totally forgot the Royals tied things up trying to figure out what this means

[twinsnorth49]

That's a big K Thorpedo.

Getting ready for Fox Playoff Baseball listening to the soothing sound of AJ doing color on FOX

[VATwinsFan]

Help me out here.  Other than Duffey and Rogers, who is there that be put in to shut down the Royals for the next three or so innings?

[twinsnorth49]

Sweet grab Jorge!!

 

Marwin is an underated 1st baseman, nice stretch!

Well, right now we have a pretty deep bullpen, so you can stash him there.  Obviously some medical issues this year.  Trot him out for a playoff game that gets out of hand to take one for the team.  I said Thorpe just because I like the idea of having him as a lefty starter, but you could convince me of Smeltzer too.  I actually like the idea of doing the bullpen start for the playoffs.

Thorpe reminds me of Gibson.

Anybody know how to find out each teams' RISP? I've looked "everywhere" and can't find it. Thanks.

[insagt1]

Schoop is making it hard for his supporters to justify keeping him around. He's having a bad game.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Thorpe reminds me of Gibson.

Lefties don't often remind me of righties, I think it's because they throw with opposite arms. 

 

That's how I tell the difference anyway.

I'd start by looking at 2nd and 3rd base...should give you a good start

[VATwinsFan]

Gardy comes through and puts in Edwin Jackson, and the Cleveland lead is now 7-0.

[tvagle]

Took that one right down Main Street...ouch!
