Game Thread: Twins v Angels, 7/4 @ 1:10 PM CDT (11:10 AM for us out here)

[jimmer]

I have worn umpire gear all day long on hot summer days and got paid way less than these guys.

[jimmer]

Nice plate appearance Sano!

[jimmer]

That is only the 2nd double play Kepler has grounded into this year.  It's only the 4th time in his Twins career.

 

But let's keep talking about Gladden being the ball boy.

Sumbitch! Gibson is pitching the 6th.

[TwinsCD]

What were we saying about Gibson??  It's getting a bit late for him.

Twins should know better  

[jimmer]

Please, PLEASE, stop talking about Gladden being the ball boy.  There's an actual GAME going on.  Holy Balls!

[jimmer]

Ok, can't listen to those turds anymore, to the Angels feed I go.

I am having a busy day, and just want to wish everyone here the best possible 4th of July (and the Twins a key win).

Gladden is on the radio and it is interesting, listening to him on the radio.

Mauer didn't frame that grounder very well.

That's funny!

I'm in Utah, I don't get Twins radio here.

[jimmer]

In two and a half weeks, I'll be at the Rockies/Pirates series in Colorado.  That will be great.

You'll be irritated with them too. They were harping on a pitch that was outside being called a strike meanwhile their guy got an extra strike and put one into the seats.

Explains a lot.

But they are talking about the game and not talking about a ball boy for half the game, right? ;-)

LOL!  Yup, and way more ;-)

Got me there.

[jimmer]

Why would the pitcher throw a high pitch there?  Glad he did, but makes no sense.

They may be turds, but they're our turds.

Bux!!!!!!!!!

[spinowner]

BUCK!

[TwinsCD]

BIG BUX, BIG BUX, NO WHAMMIES!!!

 

 

(2 for 2 since I defended him...#vindicated)

[Huddy]

What a weird day.

[jimbo92107]

Wow, Buxton! Quick bat!

[Blake]

While I really like the bunt with a man on second and no outs, I like the "Buxton hits it out of the park" strategy even better.

[Blake]

Gibson pitches the seventh?

 

And it is.

 

Get them, Gibson!

He and Provuous are a good team-up.  And while I have grown to like Dan, I don't always mind when he sometimes disappears for a few innings.

I really like the bunt with a man on second and no outs and our backup catcher up. I don't love it in everyday situations but that's not a bad spot for it.
