Game Thread, Twins vs Jays 5/30 @1:10pm CT

[stringer bell]

363 to right-center. Needed to hit it about 5 feet further.

[Gibby]

 

  My wife thinks I'm gardening with her. My timing has been perfect so far.

 

  Oops, just got busted.

Toronto had 2 hits; Minnesota 0

 

[stringer bell]

Waiting for Mauer to hit .400 for about a month. Hope it starts soon.

[Gibby]

 

   I believe that is the first time a 3rd baseman has touched the ball off Mauer's bat.

[Circus Boy]

 

In Gibby (Kyle) I trust. TD's Gibby however is more entertaining.

 

And TD's Gibby makes a tasty veal to boot.

[stringer bell]

It looks like CC has a spot on the Jays for the short term. Joey Bats must be about ready to go to the outfield, and then Colabello could DH. Good for him.

[stringer bell]

Same ground ball 3 times, 2 for singles, 1 for a double play, sinker ballers luck.

Now four ground balls, four outs. Gotta love those GDPs.

[stringer bell]

Gibson laboring. Jays still scoreless.

[mickeymental]

just wondering whether pitch tracking has gotten better or if more high strikes are being called this season ... and the proper response is not "yes."

[JB_Iowa]

What has happened to the defense????

  That was my response yesterday, and it felt like I was stepping on Chief, so I'm gonna knock it off.

[Gibby]

 

  Oh hell yes! Best athlete on the field.

[JB_Iowa]

That works.

[Halsey Hall]

Gibson's getting lucky so far today.  Can he make it thru 5?

Gibson is doing the tightrope walk a lot

[sampleSizeOfOne]

1-2-3 double play.

 

CBU says knotted at naught halfway through the third.

Now all we need is a trapeze act in the outfield, and for the batters to jump through the ring of fire. Or i'd be satisfied if they simply caught fire...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Herrmann...

 

Touches them all.

[stringer bell]

Least likely guy to GDP does just that.

Even the Wallendas are sweating watching him.

1-0 Good Guys on a Chris Herrmann Solo HR

Love the gal on MLB Quick Pitch who always pronounces Herrmann (goes with Munster) "Her-MAWN," like he's some hoity-toity French general.

[JB_Iowa]

Why, why, why do they seem to give up a HR every time the Twins get one???

[Circus Boy]

Just started to type that Gibson "wants to give them the heat and announce his presence with authority!" when I see on the ESPN tracker that the Jaybirds just homered. Never mind.

The kids these days just want to be fair.

[JB_Iowa]

Nice to see the Twins score after the 3rd inning!!

[JB_Iowa]

 

 

2-1 Twins after 4

 

[stringer bell]

Two walks and two doubles. Didn't maximize there.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

4 innings in the books (available at your local library?)

 

Twins lead by the slimmest of margins, 2-1.
