Game Thread: Twins @ Oakland A's 7-30 @ 3:05 CT

[wsnydes]

Off topic, by which I mean baseball during a game thread, but congrats to Adrian beltre for joining the 3000 hit club!

Strikeout with the bases loaded and less than 2 outs - check.

Squander bases loaded with less than 2 outs scoring no runs... check

 

Oops, missed that they actually did score once...

Um, long for which world? Professional baseball world? Twins world? Or the world as this planet?

Yes.

[spinowner]

Dangit, bases left loaded again.

[70charger]

Not the first time a ball has been lost in the sun this afternoon. Must be a hard time of day for pop ups toward third base.

[h2oface]

Don't learn from the past. The all year past.... the recent past..... Leave him in just to eat innings.............

Here in Tucson, a  psychiatrist and a proctologist opened a new clinic together near our house.

 

It's called "Odds and Ends."

[spinowner]

Y'know, all stadiums should be domed so players don't lose the ball in the sun. It's an abomination!

[Danchat]

I'm interested to see if Colon will bounce back in the 5th inning. If he falters again, I think his time as a starter here is up.

[70charger]

The stats I'm looking at aren't showing that missed pop up as an error. Why would that be?

[USAFChief]

I had to go to the VA hospital for a gastroscopy today.

As usual, the VA was busy...there were three other guys in the waiting room.

 

The doctor came through and explained what would happening to the four of us. He said that I was having the gastroscopy, which is the camera down the throat and the other three were there for a colonoscopy, which is the camera...from the other direction. He then asked if any of us had any questions.

 

I said: "Yes. Can I go first?"

Joe Mauer making sure that everyone with seats on the third base line gets a souvenir.

[Danchat]

Rosario has been taking a lot of walks recently. His plate discipline has been improving a ton this season, so I have a hard time saying his performance is fluky.

[TwinsCD]

OK bullpen, the number is 5.  Don't let the A's get to it.

It seems like it, but going into today, Eddie had 19 walks on the year.

[70charger]

Short leash for Colon here, I assume?

[70charger]

Well, crap.

 

Again, short leash?

[USAFChief]

Uh oh...Colon absorbing another painful pounding?

[h2oface]

More.... more pitches.... eat them innings...... who cares about the score.......

[Aggies7]

Ok time for Bart to hit the showers and then be given his gold watch

[GCTF]

Who takes a hippo for a walk?

[70charger]

 

Uh oh...Colon absorbing another painful pounding?

 

I don't get it.

[adorduan]

I can't wait for this Colon fiasco to end.  Give the starts to somebody, anybody that might be here next year.

The world's bravest Ugandan?

I thought this was a PG forum...

Decisions like adding a wasteland no future pitcher to lose games when we need them the most....... such disrespect to the fans......

[h2oface]

Uh oh...Colon absorbing another painful pounding?

 

stop stop .......

Colon has been good for his first 50 or 60 pitches in all of his starts, I wish that the Twins could persuade him to stay on as a long reliever,  

[John Kelsey]

This Colon experiment needs to end. 

 

(Colon experiment is also the name of my band). 

[h2oface]

Just practicing blowing a 5 run lead...... don't worry. It will be fine.
