Game Thread: Twins vs Royals, 7:10pm CDT 9/7/2016 AD

Classic Bremer as Vargas staggers on the popup: "Popped up in the infield! Kintzler gets out of the waAAAAAAay!"

 

Nice win, and good on our Buxie for putting up the "insurance" home run, even though we knew the Twins bullpen had it in the bag all along.

SampleSizeOfOne said there were no jinxes tonight in the opening post.  Wanted to test the that theory.

The next time Rosario makes a stupid throw home I yank him off the field.  How many freaking extra bases has he given the opposition?  &*#$& 4

Yeah, he's every bit as bad at situational awareness of runners and where to throw as when he got here. It's like he's in the throwing phase of Punt, Pass and Kick and just wants to cut loose and see how hard he can throw it.

He's gotta be on the radar for next year. Can you get that? Getting the band back together.

Drew Butera's reaction when learning the Twins are interested in a reunion:

Buxton through 7 game home stand:

 

.500 (12 for 24) 4 HR and 10 RBI

 

NICE WORK!

Did you see Rosario fall down last night throwing to home plate?  Ridiculous.

At times this year I've wondered if he went to the Nick Punto Dirty Uniform Academy in the offseason, and was told that throwing as hard/far as you can = hustle/battling tail off/etc.

Too bad the Twins don't have a fast, scary guy like Gore.

We do, but we have to play him in center field.

Hmm... ace pitcher?  "This is not the pitch you're looking for..."

Also, he came charging in on that ball so recklessly, that he is lucky that he didn't overrun it and have it roll to the fence.  Just not smart.  Reminds me of a young and reckless Carlos Gomez.

NO!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What, never?

The canonical response being, well, hardly ever.

 

It is a 1880s thing...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

NO!!

Okay then.
