Game Thread: Twins vs. Astros 8-30 1:10 PM CST

[Hrbowski]

When will the Twins announce their September callups?

Maybe September 6th.

[Mill1634]

 

When will the Twins announce their September callups?

Gonna take a wild guess and say September 1st? Maybe the 31st?

[Squirrel]

When will the Twins announce their September callups?

12:01am, Sept. 1.

 

Of course, if you follow all the players on Twitter, you'll probably find out soon as they will announce it as they are told.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The Berrios call up is the big one that hopefully happens prior to Sept. 1

[jimbo92107]

Low pressure situation for Buxton. He looks much more relaxed.

[jimbo92107]

Ouch. Steal second now, just for payback!

[LaBombo]

 

E-San has impeccable style. He should never even consider cutting off his hair, at least as long as he's on the Twins.

 

Seven innings, six hits, 10 K's, no runs.    If he keeps pitching like that, the man can go full 'Irie, irie, mon'

 

or

 

pitch with an eagle eyrie on his head if he wants.

I think that with a 7 run lead in the 8th inning that would violate an unwritten rule.

A Berrios call up will be preceded by someone being removed from the 40-man. When we see that, we know who's coming. I will be surprised if that happens before Sept. 1

[jimbo92107]

O'Rourke at 93! They were right; Astros were sitting on his curve.

[JB_Iowa]

Berrios is pitching in ROC tomorrow night (Aug.31).

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hmmm...

 

Folks are gettin' on well without me.

 

Can't complain about the game.

 

Almost done with my stuff, i think.

[Mill1634]

Not a good outing for O'Rourke

The relevant players are on waivers right now, I'm sure. Or already cleared.

[Craig Arko]

Hicks 1-5 in first rehab, D. Santana two more hits, Arcia two hits, Vargas a HR.

[LaBombo]

"And that ball is on its way to South America"...

Still need to be removed. It's not a question of having difficulties with who, I think there are obvious choices. But it still needs to be done. But if Berrios comes up, will all be done at once ... so and so removed, Berrios added, Berrios up. But I still don't think it will happen prior as one poster suggested.

[Craig Arko]

Not a good outing for O'Rourke

He almost certainly is optioned after this game to get to a 12 man playoff staff.

[Otto von Ballpark]

Someone will need to be removed from the 40-man for Fryer too.

[Otto von Ballpark]

1 more base runner and it is a save situation.

 

Probably should have optioned O'Rourke a couple weeks ago for a player we would actually use.

[Craig Arko]

My goodness.

[big dog]

Ryan O'Rourke, please see Mr. Molitor before you leave the clubhouse.

 

Or Hey Ryan, Skip wants to talk to you.

 

One or the other, please.

[jimbo92107]

Odd pitch selection for O'Rourke. His bread and butter is supposed to be a devastating curve, but he was throwing mostly fastballs. Why?

[big dog]

OK, even May isn't bulletproof.  I blame O'Rourke.  Send him to Rochester, just on the principle of the thing.  Now.  Lift the curse.

[glunn]

This is getting way too close for comfort.

[jimbo92107]

This Astros team has a lot of spirit. I like them.

[Otto von Ballpark]

I know May was warming a couple innings earlier, but did he have to rush to get ready again in the 9th?

 

Altuve is a good hitter, though.

[Brock Beauchamp]

This game is lulz.

[JB_Iowa]

Okay, I can breathe again.

[glunn]

Finally!  Is Chief here to call it?
