GAME THREAD: 8/3/20 Minnesota Twins VS Pittsburgh Pirates, 7:10 CDT

[sampleSizeOfOne]

4-4 entering the 8th inning.

 

CBU.

[bighat]

What I'd give to just see Sano hit a single over the 2nd baseman's head one of these days. The guy is just closing his eyes and swinging as hard as he can. Joey Gallo-esque. Guy's going to hit 40 HRs next year and bat .196.

BTW, sure this has been touched on before, but I get a big kick out of the Fat Heads behind home plate. Unique and out of the box thinking.

Really? I don’t like them at all.

[DocBauer]

Really? I don’t like them at all.

I don't like or hate the "normal" cutouts you see at other stadiums. Better than just empty seats. But I just like paying tribute and doing something different.

Bell looks like one of those dudes in that Segal movie Marked for Death.

[Mill1634]

2 really good innings from Wisler. Would prefer to avoid the randomness that is extra innings this year

[DocBauer]

Remember when Wisler was probably going to sneak on the 26 man roster for a longer look?

[ashbury]

There ya go Ash! Willie!

Stuck inside my brain,

The classic Nelson earworm,

Always on my mind.

 

[AlwaysinModeration]

Wisler the Winner tonight?

[ashbury]

You can not stop Max Kepler, you can only hope to contain him with little flares.

It's the Twins attempt at recreating Easter Island, MLB style

[DocBauer]

Hello, I'm Jake Cave, MLB player, and I use Just For Men beard coloring.

[ashbury]

quite the haiku master, this evening

There's nothing like a good haiku. And those were certainly nothing like good haikus.

 

Twice five syllables

Plus seven can't say much but

That's Haiku for you.

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

You can’t contain him, you can only hope to pick him off first...

[mrtwinsfan]

Thank You Catcher, Wow

[ashbury]

Rminds me of a man with a wooden leg named Smith...

From Mary Poppins.

Of his other leg?

 

[ashbury]

come on Byron,

Come ON, Byron.

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

9th inning, same score.

Do we get a new pitcher?

Find out soon enough.

[DocBauer]

come on Byron,

You called?

[AlwaysinModeration]

Buxton still just four hits of his cycle.

[DocBauer]

Come ON, Byron.

 

What did I do now?

[twinkies8791]

biggest pet peeve in baseball.  Closer in a non save situation

[operation mindcrime]

Could Buxton be any less clutch?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

From Mary Poppins.

Inform us, what was the name

Of his other leg?

 

I never was told.

But if i were to name it.

I dub it "Weston".

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Could Buxton be any less clutch?

Yes.

[DocBauer]

Could Buxton be any less clutch?

At least he didn't spike himself
