Article: Game Thread: Twins v Rays, 6/2 @ 7:10pm CT

[Aggies7]

And now we're behind. Again. We are going to SHATTER the number of games being behind (148 of 162 by the 03 tigers)

[jimmer]

 

Because it wasn't an error.

Should have been.  And that's my point.  He's saying Plouffe committed an error but it wasn't

scored as such but he didn't say the Rays RF committed an error.  And the RF one was much worse.

 

Plouffe's play wasn't an error.

And in other news...http://spaceflightnow.com/2016/06/02/elon-musk-hopes-spacex-will-send-humans-to-mars-in-2024/

Damn it Elon Musk, just continue to focus on making cars that can drive 2000 miles on a AAA battery.

Say, I did notice that Phil didn't give the lead back right away in the 2nd.  Progress?

 

(Although I maybe shouldn't say that til he gets out of the 3rd...)

*Sigh*

[jimmer]

 

Is losing something in the sun an error?

It bounced in, and then out of, his glove. and the sun is not exactly blazing there.

[gil4]

 

Has every out been about 15 ft in front of the track? Just a matter of time before one of those goes out.

He's definitely living on the edge, like he's done all year.

[Aggies7]

That's 51 of 53 games in which we've trailed. Absolutely shameful.

actually, he didn't have a real good grip on the ball and came down hard on his left leg and that jarred the ball loose.

No, it is remains a true statement about the second inning independent what happens in the third.

 

Relative progress.

 

Modified rapture.

[jimmer]

anybody spot Meyer yet?  Anyone?

[David HK]

Whew, gave that lead back just in time.  Got to go Molitor another exam.  

 

I think I'll get a big wad of gum and just chew the living hell out of it while I'm in there, and chuckle to myself.

[jimmer]

or even most of his career.

Shoulder inflamation

[operation mindcrime]

Why wasn't Buxton working on his bunting during spring training?

[jimmer]

 

Shoulder inflamation

for a month.  long time.

[jimmer]

and Nunez losing his helmet on a run of the mill single too.

Down in Florida on vacation and watchign the game on the FSS channel with the TB Rays announcers.  Kind of nice to get their perspective.  They seem pretty good. They were just talking about the possibility of Nunez to the All Star team.

that's hilarious because the Twins announcers were just saying the same thing.

[operation mindcrime]

Great at bat Plouffe!

Seems weird......

[Aggies7]

Just for some perspective on how wretched this twins team is:

 

The 1962 mets, who went 40-120, trailed in all but 15 games

The 2003 tigers, who went 43-119, trailed in all but 14 games

The 2016 twins have played in 53 games and have trailed in all but two. At this rate, the twins are on pace to trail in all but 6 games.

 

Wow.

Makes you wonder if Fox Sports just does a pregame meeting to discuss what both announcers will talk about.

I honestly don't think any of us need any perspective. I honestly think we all know.

It seems like a fantastic summation to this season to me.

[Blake]

I'd like to know why Suzuki is in this game.

 

The starting pitcher, even though a lefty, is allowing left-handed batters to hit over 300.

 

For such a keen baseball mind, Molitor seems to do some very old-school baseball stuff.

 

 

[USAFChief]

 

Yeah, but Chief's diploma was still chiseled on rock.

 

(It had to be said.)

Actually...more of a "certificate" than a diploma.  

 

But thanks for noticing.

[operation mindcrime]

Tell us something we don't know Dick!

Must not be a fan of history...

Hughes literally has next to nothing.

Hughes literally has next to nothing.

 

So, he's a bit better than nothing?
