Game Thread: Twins v Tigers, 7/23 @ 1:10pm CT

[Twodogs]

Awesome job, Ryan. Kept us in the game

His deuce looked good today, Upton and Cabrera were flailing because of it.

[Aggies7]

Loaded with nobody out. The bane of our existence

[drock2190]

A new low for Polanco...

 

Castro pinch hitting for him

[IndianaTwin]

Der Schlagger becames Der Bunter. 

[Aggies7]

Simply have to put the ball in play in this situation. Absolutely cannot take a strikeout looking

[Danchat]

Kinsler made about the most brutal error you can in that situation.

[Aggies7]

The break of all breaks. Shouldn't have scored

[Aggies7]

Atrocious

[Puckett34]

Ooof

[Squirrel]

**** blargh.

[IndianaTwin]

To recap, that was bases-loaded, nobody out, followed by: 

• Strikeout (looking)
• Double play grounder*
• Strikeout
• Strikeout

*Booted

[Riverbrian]

Good AB by Escobar. Nice Job by Greene.. That was fun. 

 

Considering that they are off with every 3-2 pitch. 

 

The Baserunners have to be gassed. 

[Danchat]

Only the Twins can find a way to go 0 for 4 in a RISP situation.

[Aggies7]

Three Ks and a should be DP with the bases loaded. Can't fault Escobar too much, but the continued inability to put a ball in play with the bases loaded is killing us.

[Aggies7]

KC about to walk off the sox, Cleveland has already won and the Yankees are winning.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yeay, we scored a run since last i checked.

 

Progress.

[Aggies7]

2 out RBI with RISP. Imagine that.

[Aggies7]

Duffey continues his stellar last two months

[Danchat]

The Tigers understand the lost art of RISP. Or our relievers are bad. Or both.

[jun]

This Duffey guy seems often let inherited runners to score. I bet other pitchers don't appreciate that.

[Puckett34]

 

2 out RBI with RISP. Imagine that.

Didn't know those were allowed.  Can we get a rule check?

[Puckett34]

 

The Tigers understand the lost art of RISP. Or our relievers are bad. Or both.

Yes

[Aggies7]

I think TK said it best the other night. The first team to go on a roll, like an 8-2 or 9-1 stretch, is going to win this division. A 3-3 homestand against the Yankees and tigers ain't gonna get it done.

[alskntwnsfn]

Not one dab on the jumbotron, crazy... True Sunday crowd I guess.

[Aggies7]

FOUR strikeouts for sano. I guess this is just gonna be what he is, huh?

[h2oface]

McCann, Iglesias (both way outside), and Kinsler (plenty low) all get hits on balls nowhere close to strikes! Why can't our guys get hits off pitches outside the zone. They sure swing at enough of them.... Sano just got 4 right down the middle!

[Blake]

Breslow warming up.

 

Uggh.

[Aggies7]

Was grossman walking the bases, or?

[spinowner]

*Yawn*, another Mauer base hit on a first pitch.

[jun]

Sano has 4 strikeouts today. That's amazing.
