I'm sure Sale would be happy joining the Twins, so he doesn't have to pitch against them.

I used to think these were just Threads. Took me two years to notice the "Game" part of it.

Did you guys know the game is already in the 5th inning, Twins are up 3-2, Grossman is 1 for 1 with 2 walks, and Escobar is 2 for 2 with a HR and has scored two of the three Twins runs? Looking at this thread, you wouldn't even know the game had started yet.

WINNAH!

Buck!

Another sacrifice!

Since nobody picked up the slack yet... WINNAH!

On a positive note, my daughter just got on the big screen while I was in the restroom.

Well, Molitor prevented that.

And we got that quality at bat from Sano.

Really? No worse than Santiago.

Have they mentioned why Clevinger left on any of the broadcasts?

As one of those sheep, I was giving a guy who has worked hard for a long time some credit. Good on him for making it to The Show regardless of the circumstances. I was not cheering the front office. I was congratulating his accomplishment.

Getting out of that with only one run given up is pretty fortunate.

Aaaaand I just dropped my phone out of my hoodie pocket and cracked the screen. The Twins better win and make this worth it.

I'm at the game with my daughter tonight. 5th row down the 1st base line. Awesome that I'm going to get to see Beresford play!

How about signing David Murphy and losing John Hicks for nothing just in time for Murphy to retire?

Yup. This site finally made me install adblock in Chrome.

I was screaming at the radio that no, Dan Gladden, this isn't a bunt situation. We need one run to tie the game. We have a runner in scoring position and our hottest hitter at the plate. Don't take the bat out of his hands and give them an out! As soon as he laid down the bunt, I figured the game was over. Molitor's love of the bunt drives me nuts. Not only do we need to stop giving away outs, but this team is really bad at bunting. If we could occasionally lay down a beauty, then maybe, but half the team can't even put it in play.

Ugh. What risk? That the pitcher can run down Rosario when he tries to steal? That you might lose a ballgame? That might risk your chances of making the playoffs. The Twins record is so stellar at this point that you'd hate to take a risk.

A few years back, I was at Target Field and the Twins were down by many in the bottom of the 9th against the Tigers. Dude gets on, and the first baseman doesn't hold the runner on, but he doesn't go on the defensive indifference. After a long at bat with plenty of opportunities to take second, the batter grounds into a double play. It drove me insane (though I might have been a little drunk at that point). I was screaming so much for him to steal that I even got Jerry White to give me a dirty look. If you're just going to give up on the game, why even come out and take your at bats?

Bah! Quit harshin' my mellow.

Mastro and Centeno are up and Fien and Milone are gone? We're lookin' at 142-20, baby!

Yeah, after that home run, I'm out.

What if he is an immature thirteen year old?
