Game Thread: Tigers @ Twins 6:40 8/1/2022

[twins_89]

The day before the trade deadline in a close game that matters for the standings, the Twins late inning outfield is Tim Beckham, Nick Gordon, and Mark Contreras. It's pretty clear that something has gone disasterously wrong.

Excellent PA by Correa. Nobody better than you, Arraez!

Here's a great joke for all you mindreaders out there:

Your mindpenmenship needs work.

Either that or you need to stop crossing your i's...

They like Tigers better than Twins

That's the only thing that even sort of makes sense.

Either that, or your Penn midshipmen need work?

Here comes the rally! 

[Hrbowski]

Ron Kulpa is costing us the game right now...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Two thoughts: 

1) can’t keep going to the same location against C4

2) I wish Arraez didn’t fall behind 0-2 so much 

Third bonus thought: 3) why Polanco why

Our farm system is ranked 7th in MLB. They must all be in Cedar Rapids and fort myers

They lost their second, third, forth, and fifth best outfielders to injury. And now maybe their sixth. 

[USAFChief]

Miranda!!

If back in March someone had told you, "on August 1 the Twins outfield will be those three, and the standings will show the Twins in first place," you would not have believed it!*  And yet here we are.

* Maybe you would have replied, "so, they put the lockout back in until July 31, and then all the real players went on strike?"

I don't suppose it has occurred to anybody they can't trade Byron Buxton even if they wanted to, So what is the point of showcasing him before the deadline?

[Vanimal46]

Tie game! Nice work, Miranda!!

[Aggies7]

Miranda is a baller

[RpR]

They call the wind Miranda, Miranda.....

Questions begged:

 

Are there Bowmen and Sternmen?

In Penn? 

Which one are in Pittsburgh?

[IndyTwinsFan]

The more he plays, the more I love this kid!

[ashbury]

Do not trade Miranda for a reliever! 

[RpR]

The Twins were losing by singles and now have tied it by singles, not ironic but close enough.

[USAFChief]

Really could use a double here, Beck-zee

Who knows... Maybe some other team might offer us a player we need more than one of our current outfielders, if only they impress a scout tonight.

 

(And i haven't read the rest of the thread... someone did point that out, right?)
