Game Thread: Twins@Cleveland, 6/24@3:10pm CT

[glunn]

Since I got my first smart phone yesterday the woman inside tells me that the Twins are leading whenever I ask her for the score. 

 

I am not using game day so long as she keeps up the good news.

Grossman like..."Vargas you heavy"

[spinowner]

Interesting. Leinenkugel's ad on the Cleveland broadcast.

[PDX Twin]

Too bad. Gibson throws a Kluber-strike and ends up out of the game after a walk.

[PDX Twin]

Great play, but an infield single against the fastest 99% of AL runners...

[Circus Boy]

I'm at work and didn't see Duffy's last K, but my guess he got Santana out with three wicked slurves in the zone. Speaking of Duffy, is he a pitcher now, or what?

[kdrupp09]

SO maybe wrong thread but if the game ends with this score does Duffy get the W?

[ashbury]

I keep telling all who will listen that I married well. Today I pointed out to Mrs Ash that "our backup catcher is playing left field today." She replied, "he gets to do a LOT of things, doesn't he?" She keeps up with our team - not something to take for granted in any spouse.

Yes.  Although I wish baseball would just do away with the "Win/Loss" stat for pitchers.

Right thread, wrong jinx.

 

But, high probability, IMO.

[Halsey Hall]

Not now. 

[ashbury]

Vargas is a ballplayer, not just a DH stationed at 1st. Went for the DP. Still didn't work out.

[Aggies7]

Oh Matty B, how do you miss that

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Why does Molitor keep putting Belisle out there in these crucial situations?  He has to be the worst pitcher in baseball.

[ashbury]

Not now. 

What'd I say about the jinx?

[kdrupp09]

What'd I say about the jinx?

My apologies Twins fans.

Well, he hasn't been good, but given that he was denied a legitimate strike three earlier, he should have been out of the inning cleanly. Grrrr.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Either this umpire has money on the Indians, or he is really bad at his job.

[mrmpls]

Belisle and Breslow. Both need to be released,  DOZIER= BOOM

[Huddy]

DOOOOZZIERRRR

[Aggies7]

!!!!

[kdrupp09]

Is Sano available to hit?

My wife cannot name a single Twins player, past or present.

[Puckett34]

Bremer said he was.  Unsure if he does or not.

[drock2190]

Sano would have to play out in the field since everyone else is sick or injured

[Puckett34]

 

Is Sano available to hit?

Figured if he would, it would be here for Escobar

[kdrupp09]

So no Rosario for either Gimenez or Grossman in the outfield then?

I saw that Kepler is out today.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

That might be a waste because I bet they would just walk him.

[Aggies7]

The lead off walks are enraging

[kdrupp09]

Ask and ye shall receive about Rosario
