Game Thread: Twins @ Angels, 7/23/15, 2:35 PM CDT

I'm looking forward to seeing Hicks lead off.  (I know, I know, it's only because Dozier is getting a day of rest).

 

Does anybody else think Plouffe is distracted waiting on this baby?  I know he denies it but thinking you could get a call anytime has to be distracting.  C'mon kid, tomorrow is a great day for a birthday.

It may be.... But it's probably more distracting for his wife.

The pace that Santana pitches it's going to be a miracle if I get to watch any of this game after work.

Richards is pretty consistently hitting 95 / 96 with his fastball and dotting the corners... could be a long (short) day for the Twins hitters.

[70charger]

So we're getting no hit thus far. That's fun.

[Riverbrian]

I left work early... I can't remember the last time I did that.

 

I'm sitting at home watching the Twins. It feels kinda weird.

Quiet!  You'll jinx it....

 

oh, wait...

I wish I was sitting at home watching the game instead of goofing off at work and listening to the game on the radio.  

[Platoon]

Arcia instead of Sugar Shane would make the most sense...

It's a well known fact that between HR Oswaldo strikes out too often.

[FattCrapps]

Nasty.

[JB_Iowa]

Twins go down, 1-2-3, for the 3rd inning in a row.

 

Angels go down, 1-2-3, for the 1st time.

 

 

CBU: 0-0 after 3.

You got the better strategy... Being at work and doing nothing is better then not being at work and doing something.

[70charger]

Gamecast says Hicks lined out. Good contact?

[Platoon]

If this continues, and Trout and Albert do virtually nothing, and we still lose 3 games, that would be hard to explain.

[James]

I'm not doing nothing.  I'm just doing the same work... just slower.  

[JB_Iowa]

Nice, Double, Joe Mauer.

[Riverbrian]

Garrett Richards is one of those pitchers who.... All of a sudden... Got good.

[TheLeviathan]

Joyce just put a face print on the wall, heh.

[70charger]

Hey! Mauer doubles!

 

Good thing someone jinxed the no hitter.

[Brock Beauchamp]

A HIT!

[JB_Iowa]

Yes, unfortunately Mike Trout is a good CF.

You are doing it wrong. Always look like you are doing something without actually doing it.

[James]

Sound career advise.  I like it. 

[James]

PLOUFFE!!!!!

[FattCrapps]

Plouffe there it is!

[70charger]

This whole scoring runs thing is pretty cool. I'm into it. We should do it more.

[JB_Iowa]

Plouffe with a 3-run HR - brings in Mauer & Sano.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a circus boy update.

[Riverbrian]

Even Halsey liked that home run

[Willihammer]

3-
