Game Thread Twins @ Cardinals Doubleheader First Game @ 2:15 PM CST

[Mill1634]

Theilbar wins the 19 pitch battle

[MNT1996]

Hell of an at-bat

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright.

 

We need us some hittin'?

[USAFChief]

The other day, I looked at Mrs Chief and told her, "Honey, you look GREAT without glasses."

 

"But dear," she said. "I don't wear glasses."

 

"Yes dear," I said, "But I do."

[twins_89]

It's kind of impressive that Thielbar was able to throw 10 straight strikes after getting to 3-2 in the count with the bases loaded.

Theilbar wins the 19 pitch battle

Never doubted.

[MNT1996]

It's a miracle that the Twins are only down 3

Glasses half full situation.

Baseball is a crazy game. A lot of things went wrong for the Twins. Of course, if Wieters hits a long ball, the game could be over.

My thoughts on 7 inning doubleheaders

 

If we take an early lead I like it

 

If we take an early deficit, I do not like it

[sampleSizeOfOne]

he did walk in a run

He also stopped throwing the sweaping curves after the 3rd ball. It was kind of the irresistable force meets the immoveable object.

 

Oh yeah, Ash, you can come back now!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hope the ump is okay!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yeay!

 

Play resumes.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Bring out your bats!

 

(they're made of... wood?)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Rosario, with a productive out.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

C'mon Rooker!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Welp.Scoring 1 was better than none.

 

But the inclined plane is still between us a w.

[Danchat]

Do we have a stat for how often a hitter has an appearance with runners on? It sure seems like Eddie has a guy on base most times he's up. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And can talk to myself with the best of us.

[Aggies7]

White Sox leading the horrendous pirates 3-0. At least the equally terrible royals have tied up Cleveland

[Danchat]

Yikes, didn't realize May has a ERA north of 5.5. I thought he was better than that...

[Aggies7]

The playoff seeding guidelines look pretty ridiculous and unfair. Right now the Indians are the 2 seed and the twins are 7th. The teams are separated by a half game

I am sure the stats exist...

 

Too lazy to look for it.

[FlauerPauer]

Time to rally here, boys!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A shut down inning...

 

Or at least a goose egg on the board.

 

Now we gotta plate us some runs!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Time to rally here, boys!

To really rally.

[Aggies7]

Another absurdity, the Astros are currently 21-21 and they’re a 6 seed, ahead of the 27-17 twins

[Sielk]

Wish Rocco would let Polanco and/or Arraez pinch hit here.
