Article: Game Thread: Twins v Brewers, 8/7@7:10pm CT

[Aggies7]

And a good start for Ryan

[Danchat]

Pressly with a one run lead... I know he's had some good outings, but I just can't trust him to hold this lead. Crossing my fingers...

[Aggies7]

*rubs eyes*

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Love the dp, boys!

[Aggies7]

Dick and Roy very impressed with Pressly's erectness tonight

[S.]

 

It's just too bad that happened in the 7th rather than the 9th. I don't remember ever seeing a "balk-off" win!

Not the Twins, but the Padres had one last season: https://youtu.be/KLwtPDdOTwg?t=36

I thought he was going to try and steal home for sure. He could have gotten a 40 foot leadoff.

More like a 60-foot leadoff.

[David HK]

Geez, they battle back, get a lead, then Molly waves the white flag with Pressly in the 8th.  What th.....?

 

Looks like another game we'll have to try to win in spite of the Mgr.

 

Edit:  Whewwwwww.... it worked out anyway, thanks to a couple of at-em balls.

I'm pretty sure he was rooting around in the catcher's pockets and giving the home plate ump a hotfoot while waiting on the pitch.

[Aggies7]

Haha that's pretty great with the pitcher checking the nonexistent runners on base

[Aggies7]

And he does it again!

[spinowner]

 

Ha, was about to say Rosario should steal home. Then he fakes it and pitcher balks. 

I've watched the replay about a dozen times. The 3B ump, the HP ump, Rosario and Glynn all point to Drake and Smalley says BALK at the exact same time. Everybody including Drake knew it. What a great play by Rosario!

You know, it was kinda funny seeing the pitcher trying to hold the phantom runners. But with the three errors tonight, I'm not sure we should make too much fun of fundamentals.

[DocBauer]

At Bat wasn't working earlier, and them I was on the phone for some time so I missed a ton. I come back, and the team is leading and Pressly does a great job after a BB.

 

I hate to be accused or rose colored glasses...but...i really like this team! Even with the holes this team has, even with the poor west coast trip they had, they still aren't quitting.

 

Unless my memory is just GONE...and it's possible...they were in most games. Despite reality staring them in the face, despite the trades that were unpopular with the team, despite holes that have to be addressed and young kids who need to keep improving, I still see a team with potential that refuses to quit.

 

I like that. I like this team and it's potential.

 

Now come on Belisle!

[Puckett34]

Take it easy Roy

LOVE Rosario's potential and instincts. If he can just reign it all in a bit.....

[70charger]

 

Take it easy Roy

 

I kind of like the fact that he's clearly not checked out of the game. I pretty often feel like Bert is, although to be fair, he might be less so in the ninth inning with a lead.

[DocBauer]

Know it doesn't matter an ounce for performance sake...but am I the only one who loves guys like Belisle who wear their pants in traditional manner and show the hose?

[mikecgrimes]

Always fun when you remember you have tickets for a gamer in the 9th

[Aggies7]

Roy is ready to have a heart attack

[S.]

That was a super weird sound by Smalley there. If I said what it sounded like, I think I might catch a ban though.

[Aggies7]

Great win

[Taildragger8791]

Roy with the audible "UGGGHHH" seeing that hanging curve halfway to home plate.

WINNER!!

He almost "came out of his shoes". His words, not mine.

Nope. If it were me, I'd 100% rock the stirrups.

Thats exactly what it sounds like. 

[DocBauer]

Twins win! Twins win!

Take it easy Roy

Another hanging curve, another near heart attack. Roy and me both.

Extra chickens tonight because we beat the team from Wisconsin.
