Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 8/20 @ 6:15 CT

[LaBombo]

The pronunciation of Chargie's name has become increasingly foofy and French. I'm sort of hoping that he encourages it by going with that cheesy 90's Gregorian chant Enigma song as his walkup music...

Strat-o-matic 8th Inning Report

 

Top 8th

Santana lines out to short.

Dozier grounds out to short.

Polanco walks.

Polanco is caught stealing.

 

Bottom 8th

Perez singles to center and reaches 2nd on error by CF Rosario.

Gordon sacrifices, Perez to 3rd (5-3).

Escobar walks.

(Mejia pulled for J. T. Chargois)

Colon strikes out swinging.

Orlando strikes out swinging.

 

The Twins defense is horrible here too - with 4 errors. Chargois came in and saved Mejia's butt, holding the game at 4-0 going into the 9th.

 

Help them, Danny-wan! You're our only hope (for a win)!

Maybe they'd benefit from an outfield-only teambuilding exercise, like carpooling to home games.

From short, and I might add, terse communications with North on the subject of things in Eastern parts of Canada, I am not sure our Canadian friend will concur!

That 'Chargois' is French, or that Enigma was cheesy?

Final Strat-o-matic Report

 

Top of the 9th

 

Plouffe pops out to first base.

(Max Kepler pinch hitting)

Kepler grounds out to third.

Escobar HR (KC 4-1).

Grossman HR (KC 4-2).

(Kelvin Herrera pitching)

Suzuki strikes out looking.

 

Wow... the Twins nearly pulled off a fantastic comeback. Unfortunately, Suzuki came up short and the Twins go down 4-2, which was a much better score than our counterpart's game. At least the Twins broke up Kennedy's shutout and forced the closer to save the game.

 

Anyways, that's all from me. Perhaps we could have some more Strat-o-matic games in 2017... but until then, I bid you adieu.

I got the perception that things French Canadien were in disfavor, or as he would say disfavour! Or it could have just been the Montreal Canadiens! It's hard to interpret askerists and stars.

Let's say... All of these clowns are Grossman

 

And... And...

 

Let's say the Royals and MLB allow the Twins to play every single one of them in the outfield during a game.

 

Under that scenerio

 

I still think it is possible for a ball to land.

The one in the Santa Claus hat isn't certified.

[Mike Sixel]

That's twice now that Grossman has let Polanco try catch a ball in DEEP LF. 

 

I really don't know what I'm watching right now.

 

And people want to keep him....

"People" wanted to keep REX, unfortunately, the real ROBBIE finally showed up.

No.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

At least we didn't give up any 0 and 2 stratomatic hits, did we?

Strat-O needs to add a feature allowing Kangaroo Courts, so there can be fines when things like that happen. Then a big Strat-O-Party at the end of the season with the proceeds!
