Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Giants, June 9@9:15pm CT

[Blake]

I like the way San Francisco keeps replacing their runners at First. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Yes, but about things like whether the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were already entrepreneurial and capitalist in 1740.

[LaBombo]

 

And the above furthers my mission: LaBombo for Color Commentary!

 

I think you should take Bremer's spot opposite Torii. 

 

Without my being able to resort to random .gifs to distract from my appalling lack of knowledge of hardcore baseball strategy, it would be sort of like having Harpo Marx on the radio. Sight gags only work during booth shots.

[Blake]

 

Please explain to your friend that he is going to a Twins Game. 

Actually, I kind of hope he's going to a Giants game. Then,if the Twins win, I can ask him how much he enjoyed watching a real baseball team.

[LaBombo]

 

 

Good, I was hoping there was at least one GWH fan on the thread who likes apples.

 

[jimbo92107]

 

I've never been to Petco but I think it would crack the top 5 once I attend a game. It looks amazing. 

 

I also rank Miller Park on my list. Can't explain it... I just like it.

Petco rivals Target Field. A very pretty park in San Diego.

[jud6312]

63 pitches with 1 out in the 7th?

 

Dang, Erv.

Right on - right near ther gaslight district. SD is a fantastic place, especially to a beer ond ocean lover.

I gotta do a Southwest roadtrip and knock a few unvisited stadiums off my list. 

 

Colorado, Arizona, San Diego, Angels, Dodgers and Oakland and then back home. 

 

If I can just get the schedule to cooperate... I'm going to do it. 

[jimbo92107]

Dang, 7 innings on 71 pitches. Erv gots his Zen thing going on again.

[LaBombo]

And when you visit, don't forget to set aside a late night, early morning, and some bail/bribe money to broaden your cultural horizons across the border!

PNC and Camden are both high on my list. 

 

AT&T

Fenway

Camden

PNC

Kaufman

PNC, Camden, and AT&T are on my bucket list of parks I need to see.  Well, I want to get to all 30 in my lifetime.

 

1) Fenway

2) Wrigley

3) Target

4) Kaufmann

5) Miller Park (felt like a spaceship, imagine Safco is similar)

 

 

 

29) Yankee Stadium (New)

30) US Celluar/Guaranteed Rate 

 

Bottom 2 just felt sterile or something.  Could also be because the Twins were not the road team.

63 pitches with 1 out in the 7th?

 

Dang, Erv.

And 3 RBI.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Robbie's OPS is now more than 100 points higher than any other Twin not named Sano.

I love San Diego -- go there every year for a tax conference. Great stuff to do.

La Jolla is unbelievable. The shore walk is incredible.

[Oldgoat_MN]

 

I'm an identity thief, and my next mark is one Derek Falvey.

In all seriousness, a 27 year old with a .400 OBP and an .850 OPS feels like a nice piece to go in front of your franchise slugger, no?

No question the guy has had an impact on the Twins this season.

OPS second only to Sano.

However, when you take Falvey's identity and sign him watch the naysayers appear.

[glunn]

Good hustle by Grossman to get back to 2B there. Twins are playing quality ball tonight.

[Puckett34]

[jimbo92107]

Buxton might be able to hit this guy. He has only one pitch.

[jimbo92107]

...Unfortunately, his only pitch bends down and away, and Buxton still doesn't know how to step into a pitch. Oh Chili Davis, please tell Buxton to close his stance and drive towards the pitcher!

Maybe Falvey knew he'd be taking over the Twins in 2017, which is why he gave Rob a reason to opt out of his Indians contract by promoting younger players.

Agreed. Have a close friend from high school who lives there and every time I've been out to see him over the past 20 years he's always surprised me with his knowledge of the remarkable experiences the greater San Diego area has to offer...

 

[glunn]

Erv will pitch early in the All Star game this year? Will he start it?

[twinsnorth49]

Gorky's ...good movie.

[glunn]

Santana is taking the team on his shoulders tonight!  

[jud6312]

So which bullpen stud does Mollie turn it over to for the 9th? 83 pitches is an awful lot for 8 innings.

[jimbo92107]

Ervin Zentana! What's the lowest number of pitches for a complete game shutout? 

[jud6312]

If Keuchel is still injured, he'll have to be in consideration I'd think.

[glunn]

And now he has a chance to give us an insurance run.
