Game Thread: Twins vs. Braves, 7/27 @ 7:10pm CT

True story:  I was in the left field stands for Gagne's HR in game 1...and I was absolutely certain it was coming right to me.  It ran out of gas and dropped like a rock a couple rows in front of me, right on line.

I don't believe it for a second. You left out "True story" at the end.

Any way we can stop discussing Mauer SANO and whether or not he should be playing or traded, or his body dumped into the water with concrete bricks tied to his ankles?

 

This is supposed to be lighthearted thread.  There's many threads where one can discuss Mauer's ineptitude.

has someone been dogging Sano here tonight?  Did he already make his second error of the game? I've missed it.  But yeah.

Happens when our pitchers keep throwing balls really close to, if not in, the strike Zone on pitcher's counts.

Is that the problem??  Stupid pitchers....

I could be the worst typist ever.

[AlwaysinModeration]

I want the whole team to start using the Axe Bat.

supposed to say 'strike ZONE' not 'strike one'.  Hard to get the batters swinging in protective mode when they know that no matter what the count is, they'll get really hitable pitches.

 

Again, I'm the worst typist ever.

[Willihammer]

Allen sure is getting touchy feely with the Duffmeister

[jimmer]

I'm even worse when I text.  I did a three line text that, when finished, there were no words spelled correctly and there were a bunch of commas where spaces were meant to be :-)

ground ball as a weapon?

[HitInAPinch]

Single, 2 RBI !!

Do you have enough to share for everyone?

[AlwaysinModeration]

If Foltynewicz isn't careful he may screw up his chance to get traded to a playoff team tonight...

[jimmer]

[Willihammer]

Bert just had a stroke trying to say "Beckham"

[ashbury]

Braves, axe, axe bat, tomahawk, 

 

I see what you did there.

There's no quit in this team!  Unfortunately there isn't all that much pitching a lot of nights, either.
