What, never?

Alright, Sysiphus, time to put your back into it. Only way we'll get back into it.

6th inning.. down 4-1.. Just need to hold them and score once per inning. For the next 4 innings. Thanks, Cruz! That's a start.

Nice hat.

Gold star.

Parallel process. Load the laundry machine, or the like.

He is good. Not nominated for Sainthood good, but, Friar Tuck good, i think.

Non-zero chacne i fall asleepon the thread.... wake me up if it looks likei miss anything

Looks like a fine day! Enjoy it, and maybe the Twins will show some signs of life!

Sigh. 2-0

That sounds serious for Cave, and not just in a baseball sense. I hope he recovers completely, how ever it happens

Gosh darn it all, we haven't been playing so good of late, but we got all this talent that did so well. But i hear tell there's just one more piece to the puzzle we're waitin' on.... I didn't quite catch the name, but it sounded a lot like "Gobot" or something....

The "Waiting for Gobot" Game Thread covering the Twins vs As 3:05pm cdt 5/15/2021 ad (by Bectimus Sam) Setting: A suburban front lawn, a lone tree still waking up from the winter. In the background, neighbor is having a yard sale with the usual garage cruft: tattered clothes, old semi-functional tools, a dubious looking bike or two, fishing poles, tackle boxes, you know the like. Only thing eye catching is a bin of "vintage" 80's toys, dolls ("action" figures) and such. An ol' fart comes out and hangs a placard on the tree reading: 3:05pm Oakland 0. Cole Irvin ( L) P 1. Mark Canha (R ) LF 2. Seth Brown ( L) DH 3. Ramon Laureano (R ) CF 4. Matt Olson ( L) 1B 5. Matt Chapman (R ) 3B 6. Stephen Piscotty (R ) RF 7. Chad Pinder (R ) SS 8. Tony Kemp ( L) 2B 9. Aramis Garcia (R ) C Minnesota 0. Jose Berrios (R ) P 1. Kyle Garlick (R ) RF 2. Josh Donaldson (R ) 3B 3. Nelson Cruz (R ) DH 4. Mitch Garver (R ) C 5. Jorge Polanco ( S ) 2B 6. Rob Refsnyder (R ) LF 7. Miguel Sano (R ) 1B 8. Max Kepler ( L) CF 9. Andrelton Simmons (R ) SS an occasional passer-by looks more closely at it, and as the time approaches, a few more gather by the tree and start to chat, one with an ominous looking "boom" box, clearly set to WCCO... and this discussion ensues...

I think batters are hogging it all. Rumer has it Sano claim a whole jug that he won't let anyone near.

That's the way it goes... But every once in a while, it goes the other way too.

Ohright. Home team. This is our chance to get bac kinto it.

Got it. So a foul would be a > 90 launch angle. Or <-90... (Obviously not all fouls are such, but all such are fouls)

Negative exit velocity would be foul, wouldn't?

Ah, warning track power....

Once more into the batter's box!

I wanna say i heard on the radio someone had recently done this at the collegiate softball level as well.

Why not both? We have have 2 ears after all... At least that is the defaul setting, it would seem.

I hope we win.

Yes.

Never say die! (I am listening to the game, but only get to post during breaks...)
