GameThread Twins @ Brewers 7:10pm cdt 8/11/2020 ad

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I was so impressed with last night's thread, that i figured if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  That, and in this heat, my cat nap turned into a tiger, and rampaged my whole day.

 

Sadly i don't think i can match "Deer Hunter" Squirrel's one shot kill, paying attention to one play: the Rosario grand slam, and essentially catching the entire ball game.

 

(and just to show i put some thought into this intro...)

 

Twins:

 

0. Tyler Clippard (R ) P
1. Max Kepler ( L) RF
2. Jorge Polanco ( S ) SS
3. Nelson Cruz (R ) DH
4. Eddie Rosario ( L) LF
5. Marwin Gonzalez ( S ) 3B
6. Mitch Garver (R ) C
7. Luis Arraez ( L) 2B
8. Miguel Sano (R ) 1B
9. Byron Buxton (R ) CF

 

Brewers:

 

0. Josh Lindblom (R ) P
1. Avisail Garcia (R ) CF

What if Alice Cooper were a Twins fan...

 

And posted on TD?

 

Do i owe someone an apology?

[ashbury]

Pshaw!

Was hoping to find a player named Shaw (a common last name) with a first initial of P, but as far as I can tell there never has been one!

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Um...

 

Play Ball!

[Mill1634]

HIP HIP!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Or just to change it up...

 

Hippity hoppity!

[Mill1634]

EDDIE AGAIN!

[Squirrel]

 

I <3 ROSIE!

 

ditto

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Two dingers and bunt.

 

Happens every day.

[Danchat]

Good stuff so far! Lindblom's stuff doesn't seem all that great, so it seems like a chance for Garver and Sano to get back on track. Let's see if they can have decent days at the plate.

[IndianaTwin]

I like the bunt. Way to frustrate the pitcher after a couple bombas.

[bighat]

Mitch has become a liability.

School’s out for Summer.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

School’s out for Summer.

I do enjoy being able to ignore school speed zones.

 

Am i a bad person?

[Mill1634]

Welp

[bighat]

Clippard doing what Twins "starters" do - give runs back immediately.

[mrtwinsfan]

Mr Morris - to me anyway seems the best fit so far , Knows his stuff, Variety is good though, Jack does like rooting for Non flame throwers

[stringer bell]

Jerry Meals is a terrible home plate ump. The Twins have had Meals' crew a bunch of game already.

Surely you can't be serious. He said Garcia was the Brewers most powerful hitter

[IndianaTwin]

By contrast, Mr. Gladden batted .400 tonight, pronouncing the name right on 4 of 10 opponents in the starting lineup. And this is game 2 of the series, so he’s had a night of hearing Cory saying most of the names.

School’s out for Summer.

And am i right in thinking the next line is "school's out for ever"? That is the way things are going...

 

Sigh. What is this world coming to?

[notoriousgod71]

These bullpen games are so nauseating to watch,

 

Then again, I feel like every game is a bullpen game for every team.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton on the base paths.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton on the base paths.

Still on the base paths.

[70charger]

Looks like I missed an eventful first inning!

[IndianaTwin]

Another ground ball double for Buxton.

Another ground ball double for Buxton.

Kinda. Took an extra pitch to get to 2nd.
