Game Thread: Twins v Indians, 7/17 @ 1:10pm CT

Wow! Poor Yan Gomes! I just got the chance to watch the replay...

[hybridbear]

 

To be fair, about 95% of the capable CFs in baseball would've had that ball.

Now I just watched the DanSan replay...another awful one... 

[jud6312]

Looks like Francisco needs to look into some of those speed training courses this offseason. Jebus. What kind of respectable baserunner gets thrown out by Zuke?

This game needs a warning label.

Suzuki throws a runner out!!

Suzuki throws a runner out!!

Definitely time to sell high.

Suzuki throws a runner out!!

 

As expected.

[ashbury]

Suzuki has no wheels whatsoever. Hard smash to third, and all that, but he wasn't even in the same zip code when the ball arrived at first.

[ashbury]

Definitely time to sell high.

Or, watch for other signs of the coming apocalypse.

[jud6312]

Bert's gonna get himself suspended here. He complimented Jose Ramirez's versatility. Does he not remember what Jose Ramirez did? One can not simply forget about how Jose belittled the Twins.

Two thrown out - Ok - now I am scared.

[jud6312]

Jose Ramirez firest back at Rosario

If only the Indians had Grossman...

[Danchat]

Suzuki caught another guy stealing!

 

Trade him noooooow!

[HitInAPinch]

 

Suzuki throws a runner out!!

and another !!!

[jud6312]

 

If only the Indians had Grossman...

They'd be unstoppable.

[ashbury]

Buxton would have had that.

[Aggies7]

Incredibly frustrating series.

[Danchat]

 

If only the Indians had Grossman...

We should offer him to the Indians for a prospect!

[Monkeypaws]

KG was a bit undone by his D in the sixth there. Such is the elemant of chance in the game of baseball. The stats say otherwise, but I liked what I saw from our starter today.

[jud6312]

Do they have a Tommy Milone-type? Lest we forget that Sam Fuld brought that greatness to town.

[jud6312]

Veteran leadership is important, as pointed out by Dick's acknowledgement of Jason Giambi, Mike Napoli and Torii Hunter.

 

Where oh where could this Twins team find an overpaid veteran whose on-field skills are diminishing, but might still be able to impart some wisdom on the young players? WHERE?!!

What did he do?

Trade him noooooow!

I believe Mr Suzuki will be subjected to a random PED test after the game today.

[notoriousgod71]

I am now actively rooting against Grossman simply because Dick won't shut up about him. We get it, he's been a positive in this abysmal season but at the end of the day he is still essentially John Cangelosi with less base stealing ability.

[ashbury]

Nah, nah, you wait for the Indians to call you. That way you have the leverage to demand either cash OR a PTBNL.

I was all "excited" to read of the unexpected thrown out stealing by Zuke, and when I got to it on TiVo I see it was off a pitch out, by 3/4 of an inch. The second was a great throw. That said, I always thought stealing third with a left handed batter was so,what misguided.

[jud6312]

 

What did he do?

Hit a HR last October off of Nolasco, flipped his bat. Zuke and Molly got super duper mad at him. So mad was the team that Rosario yelled at him later in the game while rounding the bases on a HR of his own.

So John Moses?
