Game Thread: Twins @ Indians. 8/2 @ 6:10pm CT

[Aggies7]

Suzuki has been one of our hottest hitters. I think Molitor was smart to bat him higher in the order. Why is everything always Molitor's fault?

Molitor did 9/11

 

And harambe

As an experiment, I installed an adblocker and now my porn browsing doesn't bleed over into the other sites i visit. Sorry about the lost revenue, Twins Daily.

It isn't. It is, however, always Mauer's fault.

[Aggies7]

Mauer again on defense

Mauer again responding to the taunts of the td community!

[SwainZag]

Dat Mauer glove

[ashbury]

Quite the experiment!

It might have been for 15 years, now that I think about it. Time flies when you're having fun.

Mauer slingin' some leather tonight !

[Aggies7]

I'm not sure we win that game in April or May.

 

Edit: but we probably wouldn't have scored 10 runs then either

[ashbury]

This was really funny.  Trust me.  

The Likes are starting to trickle in.

[HitInAPinch]

Great Game and Great Game Thread!!

 

BASEBALL IS GREAT AGAIN!!

Not sure. What day was he called up?

or as Kermit might say, 'Time's fun when you're having flies'

17-10 in our last 27.

.630 winning percentage.

The year that ... next year?

[Danchat]

Question... why is Pressly being credited with the win? I thought Gibson would have gotten it because he lead the game at 8-6? What the specific rules about which pitcher gets a win?

[Aggies7]

But now your porn is disabled?

Hey I've gone down some dark roads in adult entertain, but the disable are nothing to gawk at.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So's you have it ready Thursday afternoon?

How often has it been used this season?

 

Good to start searching for it early so as to be prepared.

yup, I watch a lot of other teams play and I'm not sure that, right now, there are too many better at the position defensively.  If any, really.

He went 4 2/3. Needed to go 5 to qualify.

[Circus Boy]

Can't recall the last time our closer 1-2-3'd the 9th. That's how the winning teams do it. Good job by the bp to shut 'em down.

The TD Community frowns upon his shenanigans.

Starter has to complete 5 innings. He needed one more out. Doesn't make much sense that a reliever can get it for pitching to 3 guys instead though.

 

Stealth edit.

I jumped up when Escobar homered, popcorn bowl went flying, too lazy to clean it up today, I'm going with.

Will it still be on the floor on Thursday?

[dgwills]

Nice game! (5th inning wasn't the best). Safe to say I won't miss tomorrow's

[Aggies7]

Starter has to complete 6 innings I think. Or is it 5? Whatever inning it was he needed one more out. Doesn't make much sense that a reliever can get it for pitching to 3 guys instead though.

Well heaven knows he was given every chance to get it. But he decided to have a complete and utter meltdown instead.

probably next to the broom

We are kind of the Indian's kryptonite.  When we back into the play-offs and if we have to play the Indians at some point  - they will be toast.
