That's a good sound right? (i personally don't think it changes the asking price, whatever it may be, it just increases the likelihood it gets met.

Mr. Goodrum says i am premature...

Buxton!!!! 1-0 Game over!

To-Watch list?

Concur! "Say Buddy, when is a sidewalk fully dressed?" (How long ya figure it will take Chief to figure that one out?)

The Future is Now. (started yesterday's intro off with a Coen Bro's movie quote regarding the past, figured today would be the future) And strangely i want more from the movie, but this as good as i got... So what are y'all looking forward to in the Twins world? We got a collective bargaining agreement coming up (eventually) We got a playoffs with no team from Minnesota involved, though perhaps a former Twin or two. We go Mr. Ryan on the mound for tonight. That's pretty exciting. And we got some good players in our minors, not to mention the rest of the current roster. Does Buxton sign long term? Does he get injured? I look forward to finding out. In the meantime... Tigers: 0. Tarik Skubal (L) P 1. Akil Baddoo (L) CF 2. Robbie Grossman (S) RF 3. Isaac Paredes (R) 3B 4. Jonathan Schoop (R) 1B 5. Jeimer Candelario (S) DH 6. Harold Castro (L) 2B 7. Niko Goodrum (S) SS 8. Dustin Garneau (R) C 9. Willi Castro (S) LF Twins: 0. Joe Ryan (R) P 1. Byron Buxton (R) CF 2. Jorge Polanco (S) 2B 3. Mitch Garver (R) C 4. Josh Donaldson (R) 3B 5. Max Kepler (L) RF 6. Miguel Sano (R) 1B 7. Brent Rooker (R) LF 8. Luis Arraez (L) DH 9. Andrelton Simmons (R) SS

I am also happy the Jays won, even if it was a bit dicy down the stretch. That there wild card race might be interesting...

I had a kneejerk reaction to #16 - Brent Rooker (Minnesota) - Did not play Rooker pinch hit for Cave in the...7th(?) got hit by a pitch, and was pinch run for by Simmons... Not a lot of action there either, but that is playing... almost. Anyway, sorry we got walked off! Good to know there is another game Thursday to set things right.

Thanks! This has been a really pleasant game thread!

Winnah!

Not put of the woods yet. But i like Colome. Keeps us on our toes.

Buxton on the basepaths again. Maybe we get an insurance run?

Rooker pinch hitting... HBP. Not the best experience in the world. Simmons pinch running.

I am sure he was taking notes. This was the advanced game situation.

If you go delving into archived game threads you will find something about a conga line around the bases. That was a pretty good game thread too.

"3,000 years of beautiful tradition, you're right, i'm living in the passed" -Walter Sobchek, toned down because this is a family restaurant, despite basic freedoms that effect everybody... Not to get lost in popular quote, the past is kinda important. What are your favorite Twins moments, over the years, or over this season? Or if not favorite, stand out as memorable? I still think that game in Oakland where Byron homered in extras, then consecutive throwing errors lost the game for us was pretty crazy. And i know i harped on it in a previous game thread intro, but so many former (or shoulda been) Twins are playing for Detroit, it is like memories haunting ya. Just to be totally clear who is who.... Them: 0. Casey Mize (R) P 1. Akil Baddoo (L) CF 2. J. Schoop (R) 1B 3. R. Grossman (S) LF 4. Miguel Cabrera (R) DH 5. J. Candelario (S) 3B 6. Harold Castro (L) 2B 7. Eric Haase (R) C 8. Niko Goodrum (S) SS 9. Daz Cameron (R) RF Us: 0. Michael Pineda (R) P 1. Luis Arraez (L) 2B 2. Byron Buxton (R) CF 3. Jorge Polanco (S) DH 4. Josh Donaldson (R) 3B 5. Max Kepler (L) RF 6. Miguel Sano (R) 1B 7. Nick Gordon (L) SS 8. Jake Cave (L) LF 9. Ryan Jeffers (R) C And Twigs being little sticks, and Tines being the ends of forks, seems like we got an even match tonight... We could still catch 'em theoretically. Only the Cubs can catch us.

How thoughtful! Someday i will make the news too... Other than that one time i was on the front page eating a whopper.

Exactly. Oh yeah.... Winnah! (Sorry... someone might have been asleep at the wheel.)

I inferred time, as the umps hands were up after the pitch was thrown, but had to see a replay to be sure. It was really split second timing.

Looks like we made good use of both insurance runs.

It just dawned on me... I laughed at that 3 years ago. Thanks for the reminder.

Byron 1, Detroit 0 after 3. CBU

Buxton.... Walk, stolen base, advances on two flies.

I finally got the joke. 1 of these things is not like the others...

Wait... Schoop at first? What kinda bizarro baseball world do we live in?
