How do you say "Rally Killer" in German?

“Rally Killer In German”

Top 4 hitters in the order--6 for 10, 2 bb, 1 k.  Twins will win a lot of games when that happens.

Is that good?

Mörder der Gelegenheit

I’m confused by the manner of scoring in this game. I mean, has anyone hit a home run yet?

The Twins winning lots of games?  Yeah, unless you like complaining.

You didn't know?  This game is being played with 1870s rules.

They really pulled Bundy when he was dealing with a 4-run lead...SMFH

Where’s Chief to confirm that?

Yeah, well, that's the literal translation. 

Not how you would really say this. I can't think of a good German word for that. Don't think there is a German expression. 

@USAFChief where you at

I like the everybody hits game 

Danny let us know the Seattle Mariners used to be the Seattle Pilots, until they were sold to Selig who turned them into the Milwaukee Brewers.  They then got an expansion team which became the Mariners.

 

Which of course means the Mariners were never the Pilots.

I put "Killer of Opportunity" into Google Translate, because that's probably what "Rally Killer" means in a literal context.

I've never studied German so I wouldn't know how to translate it.

But so vastly superior to a few years ago!

When he realized it was 1870s rules, being a stickler, Chief smashed his computer to smithereens, believing it to be a manifestation of witchcraft.

Google Translator is not good at all at translating languages like Latin. I think the same is probably true with German

It's my native language but as I said, I can't think of a German expression that means the exact same thing.

What do you mean again?  Danny almost never says anything inaccurate or idiotic.

It's the first game of the year, spring training was shortened, we have expanded rosters, Bundy has a history of falling apart on the third time through the lineup, we don't have a large lead. Need I go on?

I guess that's fair. I hope they score 3 or 4 more runs so they don't need to use their best relievers. They'll need them for the Dodgers series.

Definitely. German has just more exceptions than actual rules. ?

I don't envy anyone who has to learn it for some reason. 

change of topic: Nice throw by Luis. He has a better arm than he is given credit for. 

Duffey warming in the pen.  Guess he's not the closer anymore.

Not sure I can stick around tonight, but wanted to jump in and say howdy. 

Couple quick hits:

1] LOVE Watkins and agree with putting pressure on the other team to make a perfect play. BUUUT...I think he's been too aggressive tonight.

2] BUNDY! That was a great 1st start!

3] More proof Arraez should be in the lineup just about every day.

4] This Buxton kid is pretty good at baseball.
