I also look forward to seeing what Vargas will do. Coming as he does with Escobar's recommendation, he should be fun to watch.

Perhaps? My parents worked for IBM in the 80s. I attended Jefferson and Kelloggs, so i may not have moved in too wide a social circle back then. PM if ya think it worth comparing notes further?

Just want to say as a lead up to a heartfelt thanks to TwinsDaily and these here game threads, this pandemic related self isolation routine is old hat to me. I just splurged for the mlb tv package, and am watching most of the Twins games assuming i don't nod off. Last time i watched Twins games on a regular basis, i was taking care of my father during his last couple years. Dad was also a fan of the Twins, who were our first hometown winners back in '87 and living in Rochester MN, not counting the fact Dad grew up in NY state, and it is hard to imagine the Yankes didn't win sometime in his youth. Anyway, games were something regular to plan around that Dad enjoyed watching, and Game Threads were a small but important way for me to socialize with the outside world. So in short, thanks, TD for helping me through a tough time, and hopefully in some small fashion, i am helping to return the favor. Or is that favour? I perhaps should apologize for the pandemic itself, but that explanation of how come its my fault involves brussel sprouts, and the concept of odds pressure, which isn't exactly scientifically rigorous. Anyway, back to Baseball! I am missing Buxton and Garver and Donaldson and... i'm too lazy to look the rest of 'em, but it's a team sport, and we play with who we got. And the Royals have sure been playing us tough. This looks like it could be another for the ages! Twins 0. Jake Odorizzi (R ) P 1. M. Gonzalez ( S ) 3B 2. Jake Cave ( L) CF 3. Nelson Cruz (R ) DH 4.

Mmmm bumbleberry!

Been a while since Chevy Chase joined our discussion. Good to see him!

What i miss? I see we got a lead...

Less time than that if he gets a few more at bats each game and plays every day.

You think we can't make that 3?

Oh well. Double plays happen.

number 9. number 9. number...

Concur!

I like the aggressive call too. Of the angles they showed, the most informative was the one that required a transparent umpire... We got us some exciting baseball, that's for sure!

8.

Guess i jinxed him...

7.

Gonna sneak back to the articles section to catch up on these Buxton and Garver happenings...

That'll do!

Get the run in, Mr. Jeffers!

Tirple!!!

Sad to see anything happen to Buxton... Or Garver for that matter.

Did we win yet?

Goodnight, farewell, auf wiedersehn, good bye!

Sorry, my battery hit low, and i got distracted. What i miss? I see 2 runs inthe 9th, so i am glad we didn't entirely go silently into that fair night... That is... 2 games we been down by more than 3?

Sorry. I can stay stale if that is prefered.

We traded for Maeda. So we're gonna win the pennant, right?
