Game Thread, Twins @ Royals, 9/9 @ 7:10 pm CT

Boy, Boston's offense has been on fire.

Boston decided to burn the bats?

[Whammy]

Hot gun!

[FattCrapps]

 

KC hit by pitch this year: Gordon 12. Moustakis 12. Cain 11. That's a lot.

 

Rizzo for the Cubs 25!

 

He shouldn't have been standing there

Oh, geez, lol ... the KC announcers just said they will be facing a trio of Eddies this inning.

[Blake]

 

Chief is fearless

Ah, the epitome of diplomacy. Well played, sir!

[Hrbowski]

Herrera's straight change is faster than a lot of recent Twins pitchers' fastballs.

[Jerr]

 

It's actually one of the better places to get hit. 

 

The Butt is the best. 

 

Head and Hands/Wrist is the worst. 

I can think of a "worser" place to get hit      

[Whammy]

12th walk for Rosario!

[Squirrel]

I can think of a "worser" place to get hit      

Yeah? Where?

[stringer bell]

Plate discipline from Rosario!

[USAFChief]

 

Plate discipline from Rosario!

Dickbert:  "And he draws a WALK!"

[Ultima Ratio]

Nice drop shot!

[Squirrel]

How many time this year has Nunez run to any base and NOT lost his helmet.

[USAFChief]

 

Yeah? Where?

Kansas CIty.

[ScrapTheNickname]

KC announcers calling it a great bunt. I think it was a lucky bunt.

Drop shot? Wrong sport.

[Puckett34]

I thought Ned Yost had the market cornered on bunting?

[Jerr]

 

Yeah? Where?

Well, if a man...u wouldn't have to ask     OK?

[USAFChief]

 

Drop shot? Wrong sport.

You got that right.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Time for a "Voluntary Death Squeeze"?

[formerly33]

 

Well, if a man...u would be afraid to say     OK?

FTFY

[DaveW]

Not a big fan of bunting Escobar there. His bat has been too hot and Suzuki/Buxton aren't exactly mashers

[Squirrel]

You got that right.

Chief, you are like Gibson. Kinda flopped in the 1st with that prom story, but have been shutting it down ever since!

[Squirrel]

Well ****

[twinsnorth49]

Oh Kurt, ugh.

[David HK]

[Gibby]

 

 

Yeah? Where?

 

The Vienna Beef.

He didn't bunt. He swung and it didn't go anywhere.

[DaveW]

Yeah who didn't see that coming. Sweet work Molly. Sweet work.

 

Bunting is stupid in general, up one run with your hottest hitter up and two worst hitters on deck? Unreal

[David HK]

Oops, missed the last one:

 

5. 100 mph Fastball Strike swinging 2 - 3
