Game Thread: Twins @ Seattle, 6/8/17 @ 9:10pm CT

I've only checked in the last couple innings, but it seems Gibby's doing what he needs to do, even if it looks something like this....  Or am I off-base?

You pretty much nailed it.

[snepp]

Send Gibby back out there for the 7th?

Good start for Gibson. But don't send him out for the 7th. Send out....um...

[LaBombo]

Seager couldn't have dug out that Gibson slow curve he struck out on if he'd gone after it with a sand wedge.

I'll take a walk as much as the next guy, but why is there a heckler who probably paid decent money for a good seat actively rooting for walks before the pitch is thrown?  That pitch Gibson threw easily could of been hit solidly.  Good eye after the fact on a pitch that close is a bit much to begin with, but this heckler is unlike any other.

[amjgt]

Unusual delivery = automatic Buxton strikeout

[mikecgrimes]

It's funny the heckler doesn't even say anything when the Twins are up, maybe he's not a heckler maybe it's the Mariners 1st base coach.

It's the Asian guy right behind home plate

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Seems Gibby pitched well.

 

Now it gets ... fun?

Anybody else terrified by this move?

We should have score more runs by now.

Well, I think I see parachutes.

[David HK]

Good start for Gibby. Too bad he let Soundgarden get on to lead off the inning. But now......

 

Omg, Belisle, first up on the carousel.

 

Can't wait for the next era--  after the Wilk era, and the Tepesch era, and the Rucinski era, the Wimmers era, etc, etc.  What's the next one?  Oh yeh, the Kam Mickolio era!  Or, do we get the Heston era first?

Thanks for the help!  By the way, it was a looooong graduation.

Anybody else terrified by this move?

No. I never doubted Belisle for a moment. Believe me.

Now it gets ... fun?

Not sure that's the word. 

[LaBombo]

 

Anybody else terrified by this move?

 

Not really, but then I expected the Twins to be ten games out of first by this point in the season, so I'm not sure my vote of no terror for Belisle actually counts for anything.

 

 

[glunn]

Belisle looked effective to me. Maybe he is on a good path right now.

[glunn]

Runners on first and second with no outs. Kepler needs to be patient.

[mikecgrimes]

Good situation to bunt

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Rzepczynski in to pitch

 

Bert: "Just call him Scrabble"

 

 

 

Drink!

Either that or bring Kitzler in for a 6 out save

[twinssporto]

 

Is the thread so slow because there is no place to dine in Seattle?
I heard that there are no restaurants. If you are truly a Washington citizen you are supposed to catch salmon with your bare hands and eat them raw (you are allowed to throw away the head and the tail).

What else can we segue into? Airplanes?

 

I don't know much about airplanes.

It's slow because everyone was at high school graduation ceremonies.  They last forever you know.

[amjgt]

Twins bunt skills strike again

If he was a decent bunter.

[howeda7]

Kepler should get a day off against a lefty tomorrow. Uff da.

Or Rogers for the 8th.

 

Our best move is to get insurance runs now.
