The way this game is going, they'll retire Eovaldi's number later today.

[Aggies7]

We're really not going to get on base today, are we?

[TwinsCD]

Annnnnd...Ravioli is perfect thru 4.

 

Hey, gotta start the jinx now before this gets out of control.

[70charger]

Not that it wasn't going to happen within a few days anyway. I mean, it is the Yankees.

We're just lulling 'em into a false sense of security.

 

Just wait...

[Aggies7]

I wish someone would put one of those My Pillows over my face.

[70charger]

Who the **** is Greg Bird?

[TwinsCD]

OFFFFFFFFFF COURSE we give up a guy's first ML homer.

[JB_Iowa]

And there goes another multi-run HR.

[Aggies7]

haha the bird man kills us again.

[Ultima Ratio]

Bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word.

[Hrbowski]

Greg Bird reminds me of Nishioka.

[jimmer]

Nice play by Rosario  Didn't get him, but still a nice play.

[amjgt]

 

 

 

The last 18 homeruns the Twins have given up have been multi-run homeruns. 

 

9 - Two run HR

6 - Three run HR

3 - Grand Slams

 

 

 

10/6/3 now

Leave it to the Twins to have the Yankees lose their cleanup hitter, but have his rookie replacement, who is 1/9 in his career, come in an crush them.

I'm not saying I hate the Yankees, but if one of them were on life support, and my phone was almost out of batteries, I'd have a real pickle on my hands.

I don't want a pickle...

[Aggies7]

we're going to be no hit.

 

that's a call.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

that's a call.

Concur.

 

But not this game...

[Aggies7]

70 pitches through 5 innings.

 

hold on to your hats for more yankee history at the expense of the twins. it's happening.

[TwinsCD]

5 perfect innings for Ravioli.

 

Brace yourselves kids, we have another David Wells pending (just without the beer/hot dog stained uniform).

[Hrbowski]

Evilday is going to pitch a perfect game, and he won't be the first Yankee to do it against the Twins.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

2-0 CBU, New York in the lead through 9 half innings.

[Hrbowski]

That was a great play by Dozier.

The last 18 homeruns the Twins have given up have been multi-run homeruns. 

 

9 - Two run HR

6 - Three run HR

3 - Grand Slams

 

 

 

The MLB average over the last decade is: 57.6% of HR are solo HR.

 

That's gotta be like 10 standard deviations from normal

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That was a great play by Dozier.

You betcha!

 

He's playin' pretty big out there.

[70charger]

Ha! Chris Herrmann. Suck it, Yankoffs.

[gocgo]

 

we're going to be no hit.

 

that's a call.

Hermann!  that's the call.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Herrmann on first.

 

We got this pitcher right where we want 'im!

 

Well, now, waste not, want not! Lead 'im home!

[amjgt]

Chris Herrmann.... perfect game assassin
