Good afternoon and welcome to more Twins Daily Game Thread action! I had a whole different introduction planned for tonight but guess what? My plans changed. They changed for the better...my vendor came in from out of town and invited me to play golf today.  Teeing off in 1 hour! Can't say I play golf very well but I like the free drinks that will come with it today!  

 

It's 90+ degrees in Minneapolis today so I'll probably drop a few pounds too. Seems like a win, win proposition to me.  Now a win, win, win proposition would be the Twins putting (no golf pun intended) a thumping on the Indians tonight.

I’m wondering if this may be the final day for baseball for a while, since the NBA has started to have teams boycott due to BLM.....

I'm not sure the MLBPA will have the same consensus sentiments that the NBPA does.  Whether they should or not is a different question.

The Brewers just cancelled their game tonight

 

The Brewers just cancelled their game tonight

I don't see other teams doing so, however, If MLB was in a bubble, maybe.

Enough of this cancel culture. We don't know enough about the situation to rush to a judgement. Sure it looks bad from far away but lets wait for the details. No need to cancel games.

 

Play ball!

I don’t think that’s your (or my) call.

So glad we are playing ball tonight!!!!

 

Go Twins!!

MIGHTY MAX!!!!

Why Eddie?

Bye, Eddie. See you in a different uniform as soon as possible. Bone-headed plays mount, sprinkled with outfield assists and the occasional big fly from a pitch over your head.

3 hits and a walk in an inning and they only send five guys to the plate and only one run.

What i miss?

 

Got me some burger king on the way home.

 

Where kids are king.

Picked 'em off!

Indians and Twins share a base running coach?

Maybe we could trade him for Hernandez

OK, Cleveland loses a base runner too.

 

Maybe we could trade him for Hernandez

Unfortunately, I don't think anybody is ready to play LF in our minor league system. Or is somebody ready, or nearly? For next year or the year after.

KEPLER!!!

Looks like we're getting shaky Berrios today... we're going to need more offense [than usual] to win this one.

Not a bad catch there, Mr. Kepler.

Really nice catch by Kepler. 

I like watching Rosario, warts and all.

 

Only the mad man can see the clear way through the jungle.

SANO!!!!

Sano is on 2nd

 

Surprise?

Here's my fearless forecast--the Twins win this game if their 8-9 hitters outperform Cleveland's 8-9 guys.

Rbi for Wade!

Uhh... I'm not sure you've got a solid grasp on the meaning of the term "cancel culture", but it has nothing to do with sports...

yeah Rosie a good fit, Rocco is TOO careful, especially with starting pitching

Wade with an RBI single! Me guesta
