Article: Game Thread: Twins v Angels, 9/17 @ 7:10pm CT

[ScrapTheNickname]

If Mauer was still at the top of his game he and Sano could be nicknamed the S&M Boys. I just thought of that.

boo hoo.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.

[Gibby]

Twins are done. Next year looks bright. hehehe

[DaveW]

142 out of 145 games seems like a lot, and diving for the ball can cause nagging injuries. I wonder how he compares against other second basemen in terms of days rested.

Kinsler (much older) has appared in the same number of games. Forsythe as well.

 

Cano one less (had an injury earlier this year and missed a couple games) Peterson and Altuve both within 3 as well.

 

Still seems like a baseless excuse to be honest

[Aggies7]

I'm still in shock the way things unfolded after that first inning. Second night in a row we miss a chance to gain ground. Just deadly mistakes with less than 20 games left.

3rd night in a row.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

'member when we led this game, 5-0?  Like, four hours ago?

 

That was awesome.

Yeah, that was nice...

[notoriousgod71]

This is a hell of a staff that Mr. Ryan has assembled.

[Aggies7]

Welcome to the game, Mr. Cotts. And with that, this east coaster is heading to bed.

[DaveW]

Cotts: another one of the Terry Ryan classic pick ups.

No, I think you describing Brett's hemorrhoids, chief. 

The game has come to that.   Judging the merits of an intentional walk.

 

[Aggies7]

3rd night in a row.

Eh, we never led in that one. Down right from the start.

[notoriousgod71]

The curse of Jamie Hersch?

[Gibby]

Comedy Central is much less boring than this right now.

[DaveW]

I'm kinda curious why Graham couldn't have been left in.

 

Just another classic case of Molitor out smarting himself it appears.

Graham = DeRosa?

[DaveW]

Graham = DeRosa?

[Aggies7]

Not that it matters, but gee whiz, is the belt not in the strike zone?

[DaveW]

 

Graham = DeRosa?

No....

 

Graham >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Achter, Cotts, etc

[DaveW]

Why. Just. Why. Do you bring in Cotts when the first guy up is a righty? Just. Why?

[notoriousgod71]

 

No....

 

Graham >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Achter, Cotts, etc

 

I'm not sure. They all ****ing suck.

[blairpaul715]

I wonder if she helped them GET UP for the game.

[formerly33]

 

I'm not sure. They all ****ing suck.

Regardless, Graham was >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Achter, Cotts, etc. tonight, and that's the game that matters.

[DaveW]

 

Eh, we never led in that one. Down right from the start.

It's still embarrassing. They were going up against a terrible SP from the start, likely a 2:1 favorite against a last place team with a lame duck manager and no GM.

[DaveW]

 

I'm not sure. They all ****ing suck.

Graham has at least shown flashes for this team. Cotts and Achter have shown two things on the Twins: Jack and ****, and Jack just left town.

[LaBombo]

This >>>>>>> game is >>>>>> straining my >>>>>love of >>>>>>>>>>>>> baseball.

Of what i have watched and followed on these sites, is not the same as the ones you see in game, NOT EVEN CLOSE .......try doing both, you will understand where i am coming from

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Should i get excited that Rosario is on base?

[Winston Smith]

 

To be fair he has a hit and a run tonight.  That said, I wish that he was resting tonight.  He has played in 142 games this season.

Did you  see the hit?

[DaveW]

I for one can't wait for the inevitable Santana PH op.
