Well, the good news is they already missed the 2nd inning, so they absolutely cannot GIDP in every inning tonight.

They still have a shot at 8/9 though, which is still pretty impressive.

[snepp]

Here we go, another runner on first.

[snepp]

Yes!

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Hahahaha another leadoff runner on, another double play. This is amazing.

Like clockwork.

My guess is they'll do it twice in some other inning, to make up for it. I know, I know, there are only three outs an innings, but never underestimate the ability of the Twins to find a way to do it.

[snepp]

Only four more to set a new record.

[Guest USAFChief]

Twins have 3 runs but 0 RBI.

 

Weird.

Twins Baseball™?

[GCTF]

3 runs scored without an arr-bee-eye.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Only four more to set a new record.

I was just about to ask what the single-game record is. Four more is definitely doable.

[Guest USAFChief]

I'll lay 2-1 a Twins hitter gets HBP in the next 2 innings.

[snepp]

Need a baserunner here.

[snepp]

Nooooooooo Brian, stay at first!

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

No chance for a double play this inning. Bummer.

[snepp]

So much for making history, they may as well go ahead and win now.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

A 4-pitch walk to Butera. How in the world does that happen?

[jctwins]

Just thought I'd join this thread to say what a bang up job Frankie has done tonight.

Any father/son combos near by who look like they may jump onto the field? Counting on you to diffuse any potential situation.

Promises of post-game body shots should suffice.

[snepp]

Only 2 more to tie the record.

 

 

 

If my research is right, 7 DP's has only been "accomplished" twice in a 9 inning game.

[minn55441]

Imagine that, another GBDP. Joe this time.

[IdahoPilgrim]

How depressing is it that the main focus for the rest of the game is whether or not the Twins will set a record for futility?

[GCTF]

Atta keep the ball off the ground Doumit!

[minn55441]

There is something to cheer about

[snepp]

Dozier obviously isn't buying into the DP experience.

[GCTF]

And the DP record is safe.

Oh yeah. An old lady tackling two hillbillies will make web gems for years to come
