Game Thread: Twins @ Detroit 3:40 PM PST (5:40 PM CDT) 9/24/2019

[Blake]

Today, the magic number stands at 3. Not 4, not 2, and 5 is right out. The number is three and three shall be the number.

 

 

*I put in the whole thing because I can relate to the "soiled armor" bit what with some of the things that happened during the season.

 

Now, the Twins head into Detroit and the Twins faithful are looking at this series, knowing things are counting down to the post-season.

 

 

But, we are not counting our playoffs before they hatch, are we?

 

 

The Twins head into Detroit and, if the past is anything to go by, they will exact their revenge on Detroit. (Well, okay, the Twins have been exacting revenge on Detroit all year....)

 

And, with that, we go to stuff to think about. (Yeah, as if I really put a lot of thought into some of this stuff. Oh crud, I typed that out loud, didn't I?)

 

1. Detroit: Rebuilding or looking to rebuild the rebuild?

2. Twins: Can they beat the Yankees in home runs this year?

3. Bomba squad: Can they keep on bombaing?

4. Ginger or MaryAnne?*

 

*Just had to mess with ya'll a bit!

 

Lineups:

 

 

5. Play ball!

Pro-tip: timely cleaning of soiled armor will help prevent rust.

 

This has been a tip from the armor manufacturers guild.

 

Thank you, and, remember, clean armor is the best armor!

Today is Tuesday, right?

Today is Tuesday, right?

Yes.

 

Though i can't speak for the other side of the international date line...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

the other side of the international date line...

...where Ginger and Maryann are stranded?

[Blake]

 

Yes.

I am confused about selling our eggs before they hatch...

 

Please don't trade Lewis before he hatches.

 

And i wonder how final count down would sound with propper brass instruments.

I’m struggling with what I should be more anxious about — the Twins falling behind by 2-3 runs and hoping they can come back or having a 5-6 run lead and fearing they’re going to blow it.

Yes.

[Circus Boy]

The "Final Countdown" guy looks just a tad older in the Geico commercial.

Just enjoy the ride, no reason to get anxious before we even get started!

I am under the opinion that we should try and win this game!

 

Who's with me? 

[stringer bell]

Gonzalez scratched with "oblique tightness". Turtle at first base. This worries me.

[FlauerPauer]

Let's go Twins! And although it pains me to say it... let's go White Sox

[diehardtwinsfan]

Sweep them, and doesn't matter what Cleveland does. Have to love that...

[Riverbrian]

I'm with ya... Cheering for the White Sox is like drinking Tabasco Sauce because it cures anxiety.

woof... guess I'm a White Sox fan for the next 3 nights too...

Let's hope it's nothing serious. That would be a huge blow.

[LVTwinsfan]

Here’s to a Twins win and a White Sox 3 game winning streak

[FlauerPauer]

No reason the offense doesn't score 7-8 runs tonight. Turnbull is not a good pitcher.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Over/Under

 

3.5 bombas

He's not terrible, probably better than every starter they faced in the KC series (which isn't saying much).

1. Detroit. It's a rebuild on a rebuild. Like my Buick

2. Twins will beat the Yankees on homers during the playoffs when it actually matters.

3. The Twins will always be the Bomb in Bombas. 

4. Ginger in Georgia, MaryAnne in Maryland...

Other than the baseball gods love to flip the script.

No not terrible by any stretch and I'd bet he'd have better stats on the Twins or any other contender, but still 3-15, 4.66 ERA, 1.4 WHIP doesn't scream average to me.

[LVTwinsfan]

Should have been a triple. Cave didn’t play that well
