Game Thread: Twins v Yankees, 6/18/16, 1:10 PM CST

I know this smacks of hindsight but playing the IF at DP might have helped. Molitor is a big fan of the IF in, even very early in games.

ZUKE!!!!!

[jimmer]

So while I am happy Suzuki hit a HR, how is it he can PH for Centeno, but Centeno can't PH hit for him?

[Danchat]

My goodness, Suzuki. I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming. What an AB and to finish off with a HR.... WOW!

Or the non played bunt, or the passed balls, or the jepsen

[mikecgrimes]

This Chapman guy could play for the Twins

[mikeee]

ya step away for a minute and miss another dinger.

[Platoon]

Oswaldo should have stuck around. Molly has just discovered that PH is legal in the AL!

[operation mindcrime]

Maybe we can build off this momentum for tomorrow.

[HitInAPinch]

Suzuki.  Chapman must be pissed.

yo well.

[ashbury]

The Yankees hold on to win. I bet they were nervous, too.

[Aggies7]

On pace for 47-115. Not as bad as I would have thought.

[HitInAPinch]

Welp, they gave it a shot.

[mikecgrimes]

The sad thing is nearly halfway through the season that was one of the 25 best performances of the season

[operation mindcrime]

Trade Escobar tonight! I don't think his value will ever be higher after that homer.

Suzuki as well!

What, the final two batters? Yes, they did well, but that was the second worst loss in a season of monumentally embarrassing losses. I know, I know, Aggies is being a drag, but we have a handful of guys who belong in MLB...the rest are AAAA and AAA

Even my irrational hatred for Paul Molitor couldn't get me to ever think it would be this bad.  Of course I fell into the trap of thinking the pitching was average.

I'm hoping we can build off this momentum for 2017

[mikecgrimes]

I'm gonna check some minor league stats.  Wish me luck in finding hope I haven't paid much attention since Berrios was sent down.

[ashbury]

I'm hoping we can build off this momentum for 3017

FTFY.

[ashbury]

Get it going ... we'll need more than three to win

Wow! Considering this comment came way back early in the game, this prognostication is predictively prescient. HOW did you KNOW?

[adorduan]

There is no reason Jepsen should be on this team anymore. NONE. Zero. Nada.  DFA the freaking guy tonight. He's approaching Ron Davis territory.

yy Chi town is psychotic.

[Jerr]

I was at the game with my son and his family, we both predicted somewhere in the 7th or 8th inning Twins would lose it.....just soooo predictable!!!!!       

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I laid down for a nap. I shoulda stayed in bed.

Apparently i was way ahead o' ya.

 

Sorry all i did not contribute usefully to ye ol' game thread.

 

Maybe next time?

PS, it was nice knowing you, Platoon.

[nicksaviking]

Finding Dory kept me from hearing the last two innings.

 

Thank you Pixar.

[mikelink45]

Much better to post the upcoming game than to talk about what just happened. 

[Twodogs]

 

Nolasco pitched 7 with 2 runs? WTH?

He pitched 7 with 3 runs on Monday, Right??
