Game Thread, Twins vs Tigers, 7/11 @ 3:05pm CT

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Dozier pops out, in foul territory, for second out.

 

Guy really knows how to kill a rally.

[Blake]

Good out by Hicks on a close play and got Suzuki to second.

 

I'm seeing a little more confidence by both Hicks and Santana at the plate.

Stick a fork in Dozier?

[glunn]

The Royals are losing in the 9th inning, so this might be a very good day.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I think Detroit is going to plunk Suzuki for taking that weak curve as a hit by batter last night.

 

close...

 

Detroit pitcher buzzed Plouffe, not Suzuki. No idea why.

 

It was the very first pitch of the 2nd inn. and it was a straight fastball right at his head.

 

Plouffe laughed it off and lined a single on the next pitch, sparking the 3 run rally.

That is no laughing matter and I hope that there is no more buzzing.

Stick a fork in Dozier?

Sometimes you stick fork.

And sometimes, the fork, well he sticks you.

 

Oh yeah, 3-0 Minnesota entering the bottom of the 3rd.

 

What shall we do?

 

CBU?

[JB_Iowa]

It is so good to see Mauer turn things around.

[Blake]

Either Hughes is very sharp or the Tigers have taken the day off. 

 

Let's hope it's a little of both and the situation continues.

 

Go Twins!

[JB_Iowa]

SANO

 

 

and good running, Joe!

[stringer bell]

Never make the first or third out at third.

[Danchat]

Even though the Twins are killing the baseball right now, I'm concerned with our sloppy baserunning. Both Sano and Hicks have been caught going from 2nd to 3rd so far.

[Craig Arko]

Sano doubles Mauer home, and is out trying for 3rd. By a mile.

[stringer bell]

Just think if they hadn't lost two runners on the bases.

[Jerr]

Sano is not as fast as he was thinking he was.

A beautiful day to be here!

I picked a good day to come!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That is no laughing matter and I hope that there is no more buzzing.

 

You are right. Thanks for filling out the picture for me. That pitch was way too close. We're lucky Plouffe is a guy who will laugh it off.*

 

 

*and as I type that, Plouffe steals third without a throw...

[Circus Boy]

The Twins have scored 12 runs straight on the Tiggers. This is good.

 

EDIT: 14 straight runs.

[JB_Iowa]

What a good AB by Aaron Hicks.

 

Such patience.

[Danchat]

Now the Twins are going to blow a 6-0 lead in the 9th. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

CBU Update:

 

(2 + 1) * 2 = 6

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

What a good AB by Aaron Hicks.

 

Such patience.

nothing cheap about that triple!

[Puckett34]

Hicksie!

[Craig Arko]

Made it to 3rd that time.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Sometimes you stick fork.

CBU?

In Soviet Russia, fork definitely sticks you.

[mickeymental]

hicks ops .702

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alfredo Simon is chaste.

 

Er, i mean chased.

 

To the bullpen, and beyond!

[Squirrel]

By reading Detroit news article comments, it looks like the Detroit fan base is on fire and in full pitchfork. (and they were restless even before last night)

 

Let's add some more fuel to it

I hope Brian isn't in any immediate danger being a Twins' fan in Tigers' territory!

[Squirrel]

They are looking under every rock for every scapegoat they can find. Michigan is not baseball happy.
