Article: Game Thread: Twins @ A's, 7/17@9:10pm CT

[stringer bell]

Just a thought. Pitching fly ball pitchers for night games might be a good idea. As I write this, the Twins get their first assist on a 1-3 putout, Santana to Mauer.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Woops, i missed something. I didn't realized Bigfoot was an A...

I could be wrong, maybe the A's have shaved all their beards?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Top of the order a-comin' up for the third time.

 

Speakin' of desserts, i got lots of vanilla ice cream, and while it's plenty good on its own, if i'm feelin' like something more, what can do to or with it?

[AlwaysinModeration]

Royals lose 2-0. Chance to pick up .5 game to start the around half.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Calling a homer.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Damn. Hunter was dying to hit that 2-0 pitch after the catcher went out to the mound. Swung at a pitch at his eyes.

milk shake, root beer float, or top it with caramel sauce and sprinkles.  lots and lots of sprinkles.  I like sprinkles.  Don't forget the whip cream too.  Now I want some ice cream.

GOTN?

Goat of the Night. You're the early leader by mentioning the no hitter through two, thus guaranteeing it's your fault when the Twins lose.

Maple Syrup, lots of really good maple syrup.

[twinsnorth49]

That was a hell of an AB by Mauer.

[USAFChief]

 

That was a hell of an AB by Mauer.

Conversely, that WAS a hell of a PA by Sano.

[DiscGolfer]

has Sano been up for 12 games or 12 years?  He just looks like a veteran hitter.

[DaveW]

Sano, wow!

[twinsnorth49]

Making Sonny grind it out, another great PA by Sano.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That was a hell of an AB by Mauer.

until the last pitch.

 

Then, a hell of an AB by Sano. (as expected)

[Willihammer]

Sano seems to have a really good eye. I continue to be impressed by his PAs.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Let's see some run(s) please.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Good eye, and good ability to check his swing.

[USAFChief]

 

Let's see some run(s) please.

[Willihammer]

Plouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuufe!

[DiscGolfer]

is that the first twins GS this year?

[glunn]

 

Maple Syrup, lots of really good maple syrup.

 

I would never have dreamed of putting that on ice cream.

[jimbo92107]

Le Grande Salame.

[twinsnorth49]

Plouffe!!!!!

 

Mauer and Sano softened him up.

[Willihammer]

Who said you can't hit home runs at O.Co at night?

[DaveW]

Man, they have been battle their tails off at the plate this inning. Gray was clearly flustered after the Sano at bat and plouffe makes him pay!

[AlwaysinModeration]

Sano was tagging at first, and Plouffe almost passed him. That was a sky-high flyball that just seemed to keep sailing.

[stringer bell]

is that the first twins GS this year?

Second, both by Plouffe.

[AlwaysinModeration]

I'd just like to say...the foul territory in Oakland really is kind of ridiculous.

Blend half a cup of strong coffee with a handful of walnuts, mix into the vanilla ice cream. Yum.
