Game Thread: Twins @ Rays, 8/27 @ 6:10pm CT‏

[Squirrel]

I was at that one.  The hardest I've ever seen a baseball get hit.  It was like the whole stadium let out a collective "Oh my God!" 

 

And the Twins won that game and Francona afterwards was saying "This is baseball, not ****ing mini-golf!"

Awww ... poor, poor Red Sox! /dripping sarcasm

[Turd Furgeson]

I guess we did have some good luck with our blooper bunts landing for hits and what not, we probably deserve a missed home run off of a catwalk. LOL

One of these years I'll get up to see a game at the Trop ... or not.

 

Went there once...the chic's weren't responding at all to my advances.

I vote not...

[Hrbowski]

Escobar homers! STAY HOT!!!!!!!!

[Gibby]

I love Esco.

[Ultima Ratio]

Escobear for Prez!

[mikecgrimes]

Pull the boys off the field and show the league up on that crap.

With all your trips to Florida... This one should be easy to check off your list. 

 

When you do go... Pretend to be a building inspector and declare the Trop unsafe and place warning signs around the stadium. 

 

You'll need a costume... Shirt... Tie... Clipboard and those glasses with the eyeballs hanging from springs. 

 

 

[David HK]

There's a small measure of justice.  How about Esco this series?  Hey Molly... oh, never mind.

[twinsnorth49]

Escobear........again........wut?!

[jimbo92107]

No translator needed in the clubhouse: Eduardo Escobar is pretty happy.

[Danchat]

Escobar and Suzuki are powering the lineup.

 

As expected.

Why dress up like a Jehovas Witness?

Was Buxton partying last night or something?  Please show up for the rest of the game.

[mlynch16]

Oh lord.  Buxton can't hit a fastball down the middle.  That's 5 in a row that he swung and missed at.

I'm in the city and have deer, raccoon, fox, coyote, and various raptor.

My neighbor across the street said he saw a black bear in our creek bed yesterday. Our window doesn't face that way, and/or we weren't paying attention.

 

He also saw a deer with nice antlers at around the same time. Wonder how that worked out.

[jun]

As I said it many times, Escobar has power and he is a streaky hitter. He is also a solid fielder. No doubt he should be starting the whole season.

I like me some nice antlers.

[ashbury]

Everyone in my family is female. I'm the only one in my family that hasn't wrecked a car.

You were never 17 years old?

Sounds a bit like JJ Hardy. Except Escobar doesn't get hurt.

A Chef like you... Can obviously Cook Anything. 

[Riverbrian]

I thought Esco played well enough last year to get a starting job out of ST this year.

I was like, 35 when I was 17.

In fairness I think most of her trips aren't exactly to sit at the beach.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

It has to be tough to play in front of 8 people every home game.

9 in the AL.

 

(i'll catch up to the thread eventually. I'll pretend i'm Chuck Yeager or something...)

Escobar did very well in spring training. He should be the starter the whole season.

[ashbury]

My concern has always been that he would wear down with constant use. Of course you can't prove that unless you try him, but I'll need to see a *lot* more of this over months, not weeks, to become convinced.

[jimbo92107]

Freakin' ball just comes off Sano's bat like it's shot out of a canon.
