Game Thread: Twins v Yankees, 7/18@7:10pm CT (5:10pm PT)

Kepler with a hit vs lhp. Me likey.

[h2oface]

 

What? I leave for like 5 minutes, and they're down by three runs!? What happened?

 

Molitor managing not to lose, instead of to win. All too common of an occurrence, now. First Colon, then Pressly. How many more runs will they give away for the sake of eating innings?

Eating, I see what you did there

[jud6312]

 

I mean that really got out of hand fast.

Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.

[USAFChief]

 

I'm really missing Brian Bass right about now.

He's being stretched out in Rochester as we speak.

[70charger]

Yeah, you should probably lie low for awhile.

[USAFChief]

Oh FFS, Grossman.  Swing the GD bat.

 

That's what I'm talking about right there.  The object is to drive in RUNS!!1!

 

Now it's up to Rosario against a LH pitcher.

 

 

[yarnivek1972]

"Grossman thought it was ball 4"

 

He always does. That's his game. He's the second coming of Rich Becker.

nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands...

[Aggies7]

Somebody put a ball in play with a guy at third FFS

[David HK]

Good balanced lineup-  the guy who swings at nothing, followed by the guy who swings at everything.

[Aggies7]

A truly horrendous AB by Rosario.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

If you ever want to see a well framed pitch, just go back and look at that 3-2 pitch to Grossman

[h2oface]

A hitter's pitch and a walker's nightmare. I guess Grossman is a walker first and a hitter second.

[amjgt]

Impressive stuff by Grossman and Rosario. Needed at least 2 runs this inning

[David HK]

 

Wait, I'm older than you and have long hair.

Don't flaunt it, mister!

 

 

[Aggies7]

Now bug eyes polanco almost surely will douse the rally

[DaveW]

Or possibly drive in runners when given the opportunity

Good point, the reason they are losing isn't because they are giving up 6 runs in 5 innings.

[USAFChief]

 

A truly horrendous AB by Rosario.

Grossman's was worse.

 

And that's saying something.

[DaveW]

By my count this will be 3 guys they haven't gotten in when they are on 3rd with less than 2 outs.

 

That's bad baseball my friends.

[Aggies7]

Good point, the reason they are losing isn't because they are giving up 6 runs in 5 innings.

I'm not disagreeing with you, just saying we've left about 4 in RISP in 4 innings. And about to be more.

[USAFChief]

Right.  The Twins have had no chances to drive in runs.

 

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

A hitter's pitch and a walker's nightmare. I guess Grossman is a walker first and a hitter second.

yup

 

Good batting eye, good hitter, but looks to take the walk not what the Twins needed there

[DaveW]

Right. The Twins have had no chances to drive in runs.

lets just agree that this whole stupid team outside of a few key players piss us off

[DaveW]

yup

It's that sort stuff that makes me convinced Grossman is nothing more than a part time player in this league.

[Aggies7]

This game is a microcosm of the entire season. Pitchers who have no business in the majors and despicable situational hitting.

 

Get those tee times ready for October, Paul.

[h2oface]

Belisle next to give up a couple?

Plus the head scratching lineup.

[yarnivek1972]

Have been gone on vacation for a couple weeks. Can someone please tell me why EE isnt playing in plance of Poo-lanco?

At this point, I think my choice would be EA.

Paul is concerned that eddie's eyes aren't open as much as Jorge's. Worried about seeing the ball issues
