Game Thread: Twins vs. Orioles, 7/7 @ 7:10 CDT

actually, three walks and a home run would be a far worse way to start a ballgame.

 

Always look on the bright side of life

[mickeymental]

has anyone ever struck out in the home run derby? just wondering ...

[Don Walcott]

Did anyone else feel a little uncomfortable as Roy described Vargas's "surprisingly soft, agile, nimble hands"?

 

Maybe Roy's been reading too many romance novels?

Or two walks, two line drive doubles, and a misdemeanor assault on a hot dog vendor...

Dear Felix,

 

On June 9th, 1966 in the 7th inning of a game between the Twins and Kansas City. 

 

Rollins, Versalles, Oliva, Mincher and Killebrew all hit home runs in the same inning.  

 

You did better than that. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Riverbrian

Dear Riverbrian,

 

Thank you for your words of encouragement.

 

We'll talk about the 7th when i get there.

 

Sincerely,

 

Felix

 

Ps. Thank you SampleSize for relaying what i would have said, if i weren't busy pitching.

Badum.

 

Badum.

Always look on the bright side of life

Try it without squinting.

 

[Don Walcott]

Molitor did not look as happy as Vargas about that.

[amjgt]

We've got a hot gun tonight!

[amjgt]

Twins batters... making Carlos Silvia look like Nolan Ryan since April 2017

I think Billy Tim Denham might have gone all the way down to fifteen-five on the vans to get Roy to stop.

Roy tried wearing batting gloves but . . . .

Sorry, I'm late... I I know you were all waiting for my presentation and for that I apologize. I was visiting a friend of mine at the hospital. He had a real bad string of luck, in the past week, his accountant stole all of his life savings, his wife left him, his dog died, his son was arrested by the DEA, his daughter married a guy with no job and he was ran over by a bus while crying in agony in the middle of the street. Like I said it was a tough run of luck for him, I appreciate your patience and understanding.

 

Now down to business... our 4th quarter in comparison... wasn't that bad.  

[amjgt]

Colon!

[Riverbrian]

 

Colon!

 

LOL

 

I wonder if anyone on Twinsdaily will have comment on that.

[drock2190]

We signed Bartolo guys!!

[Aggies7]

Well the Jorge love affair was quite short

[mickeymental]

and that's not quite the worst way to start a third inning ...

[amjgt]

Did the Ump's union threaten to sue FSN?

 

I feel like they have barely used FoxTracks in the last week, which pretty much coincided with the umps looking completely foolish for like 3 straight games

 

Really wanted to see where ball 4 to the leadoff hitter missed

[LaBombo]

 

Colon!

 

Sigmoid!

 

Sig to his friends.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well the Jorge love affair was quite short

The Orioles seem to like him...

[Don Walcott]

La bolsa de trucos includes disappearing baseballs.

[Danchat]

But got a text that OF Zack Granite is being summoned to Mpls. Very cool.

 

From Darren Wolfson

 

Not sure about the Colon signing. He's 44 years old and coming off of a terrible string of 14 starts in the National League. Yikes...

[Minnesotatwins005]

I wish the Twins would go to the matte helmets. Really like the look of them.

[Blake]

After watching a video of Colon run to second after hitting a double I have to wonder if the man can field his position any more.

 

Can someone please tell the FO signing Colon is the opposite of a youth movement? Might as well bring Hawkins out of retirement.

Agreed. At least we know where the strikes were.

What kind of throw was that from Eddie Munster?

Grossman's is matte.

Had I been attending your presentation, I'd have raised my hand and asked "Are you sure about that?"*

 

*not the first time I've done such a thing, either.

Machado has done his part, they can pull him now.
