Game Thread: Twins @ Blue Jays, 6/3/22, 6:07PM CDT (4:07PM PDT)

Chi Chi is the kind of guy good hitting Twins team in the past would lay an egg against……Vlad Jr just laid an egg in the seats.

Twins-Blue Jays are having a home run derby with 8 other guys standing around watching

Prediction: Twins' total over three games = 11 hits, 4 runs, 0 wins.

Well you could be right on the 0 wins part. 

[LA VIkes Fan]

Can we get 5 innings of 4 runs or less from Chi Chi? The Magic 8 Ball says ...  Not Likely....

[Parfigliano]

Cleveland Guardians.  Everytime I hear that I cant help but think....what a dumb name.  Statutes on a bridge.  Big deal.

I think Chi Chi may be done

[Mill1634]

GIO!

[stringer bell]

Would be nice to get that runner in when he was on second with none out.  

[Mill1634]

Oh no....

Nope and hopefully Gio is okay.

[Mill1634]

Not a doctor, but I do watch a lot of sports, and that looks like an achilles just blew out...

[kydoty]

If that’s as bad as I fear it is, Lewis will be starting at third for the rest of the year when he gets back.

 

Edit:  My fears are unfounded, thankfully.

Or not....thankfully. And thankfully I am not a doctor.

Looks like he is still in the game

Let's see what Moran can do now

[LA VIkes Fan]

With the "free movement" on the 40 man due to the unvaxxed guys not being able to enter Canada, can we now send Chi Chi down tomorrow and call up another reliever? He isn't staying after this "emergency" 3 inning gem any way. 

[MadHits]

Moran wants to stay. 

[Heinie Manush]

Kiriloff not added to the roster.  Wonder what that means?

[Mill1634]

What a first inning for Moran. I'm sure he'll get the 5th too. That changeup is DISGUSTING

He's not vaxxed. I don't think it's a secret. 

[Danchat]

Well that was a shockingly good inning from Moran.

[RickOShea]

Years ago, an injured guy would hobble off the field, with some help.  He'd sit it in the dugout through the rest of the game.  He'd end up with a high ankle sprain and miss, a game or two.   Now the guy is rushed to hospital for x-rays, leg wrapped in a full cast, and put on the IL.  He's out for some time from playing.  He goes through healing, rehab, and a series of games (minor league level).  Every time he has a little down time, the leg injury provides him an excuse for the rest of season .  His dancing and drinking after games takes the biggest hit.

Time for Jeffers to wake up.

Needs a birthday dinger

[MadHits]

Atta Buck! Hopefully that gets him going?

[Mill1634]

I'm shocked that Montoya let Kikuchi pitch to Buxton a third time.

[Mill1634]

Ending b2b innings with runners on second may lose this game.

Not sure why Arraez isn't hitting 2nd specifically for a situation like that. I would take him over Polanco with a runner on 2nd with 2 outs any day.

What i miss?

An alarm clock?
