Game Thread: Twins v Royals, 8/14 @ 1:10pm CT

Lets go Eduardo!

[Aggies7]

Isn't Santiago a top 100 prospect? Is that like, in the twins organization or what?

Lets go Eduardo!

Done !

[HitInAPinch]

Hosmer sure hasn't looked like a 3-time Gold Glover today

[operation mindcrime]

I see tomorrow we play the Royals on ESPN at 6 o'clock.

[Aggies7]

Please take this guy out. He's got nothing.

[Aggies7]

Finally

Hector Santiago is nowhere near as good as Ricky Nolasco. The only thing good about that trade was getting rid of Meyer. 

[hybridbear]

 

You say that as though that were unheard of!

How many starts has Escobar gotten in the OF this year and last?

For the all-lefty line-up, I would think Polanco at 2B, DSan at SS would be the more standard lineup, right?

Lol, yes. I was just trying to find a way to get 9, without thinking too much about optimizing defensive positions of those 9 batters.

[HitInAPinch]

dang, I was wondering if Molitor was going to leave him in just to eat some innings.

[HitInAPinch]

Nolasco has already re-established his 5.00+ ERA.

[Aggies7]

Somehow, cutting the lawn in 90 degree weather with 80% humidity seems like a better time than watching us get romped yet again by the royals.

[Kwak]

Bets on who is the next guy on the "Injured Reserve" List?

[CampQ]

Odds the Twins tender a contract for Santiago?

[Aggies7]

HOW is it only the 5th inning?

[operation mindcrime]

Do ya think Rusty Kuntz got teased in high school?

[HitInAPinch]

Whew.....

[hybridbear]

O'Rourke saves the day!!!

Well, maybe just the 5th inning...

[jimbo92107]

O'Rourke pulls a Houdini!

[Squirrel]

Awesome teamwork gentleman!

I think you need a lesson in distinguishing between genders.

[HitInAPinch]

Chipping away 

[Circus Boy]

Nice little comeback we're seeing. Oh, and Kennys is due.

[Circus Boy]

"The latest Twins pitcher, he's direct from out of the Wasteland. He's bad. He's beautiful. He's crazy! It's the man with no name!"

[Aggies7]

Tonkin has been brutal lately

[operation mindcrime]

Tonkin has been brutal lately

Solid outing!

[HitInAPinch]

Boy, this is really falling apart fast...

[Aggies7]

I keep thinking the wiped out beat down we were giving Houston the other night has zapped any momentum the club had. We're back to our old ways

[Danchat]

Holy cow this defense has been terrible. 4 errors!! No wonder the Twins are so bad, they are in 2nd place for the most errors in the MLB. And that's before we factor in defensive metrics!

 

Robbie Grossman might be the worst OF in the majors and he's added another 2 errors today. I know we don't need to win games now, but the Twins need to make sure Grossman doesn't play OF in 2017 for an extended amount of time.

[Aggies7]

Kepler has come crashing back to earth it seems.

[ashbury]

Do ya think Rusty Kuntz got teased in high school?

Think of one not already on this list, and get back to us. (Uh, putting on my moderator hat, maybe don't.)
