Game Thread: Twins vs. White Sox 7:10pm cdt 8/30/2017

Anyone else kinda excited to see Perkins pitch?

The White Sox?

[Aggies7]

Well, I'm old enough to remember the WS wins but also old enough to be suffering from some short term memory loss. So I'm in a good spot with this team.

I often wonder how I'd feel in the years after witnessing a championship. Would I care less? And for how long?

Garcia is.

[Squirrel]

My source confirms that the report is in fact unconfirmed.

Okay, hate doing this, but I checked Twitter. The only one saying anything is Gleeman, who is awaiting confirmation, but it 'appears' Buck 'tweaked something' in his last at bat.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

There goes the shut out...

[Squirrel]

I don't give in to peer pressure

I'm not peer pressure but Chi-pressure.

[Jham]

 

Then you are old enough to volunteer to do a game thread ...

I was actually going to say, I plan on hosting a game thread one day and recounting my somewhat by chance '91 World Series experience.

WS wins??

Won't they be missing you at the home about now?

EDIT: Some other guy on Twitter (who I haven't heard of) suggested that he looked like his hand was in pain on a foul ball. And that maybe he jammed himself on his earlier hit.

 

Apparently he's hurt though. Just hope it's nothing serious and he was taken out as a precaution in a game with a double-digit lead.

Are you not watching the broadcast? They just said he was hurt and hope to have an update after the game.

That's not what I heard. They were hoping to hear an update on IF he was hurt

[USAFChief]

I don't think Perkins is in any kind of shape to help the Twins down the stretch.

 

Shocking, I know.

No, I'm out of market and my only option is the Sox broadcast who said Buck getting a few innings off ... but what do they know.

 

Gleeman is saying it appears he tweaked something, but awaiting confirmation.

home??

Me.

 

As good time as any to get the work in.

Yes! Do it!

Thankfully, he has a large margin of error.

Some other guy on Twitter (who I haven't heard of) suggested he fouled a ball off himself. Maybe hurt himself that way?

5th most dangerous lead in baseball....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

K for Perkins!

 

Little things to be happy about.

My bet is on "need better diet, too skinny."

[Jham]

Orioles could lose any time now....  92mph to end the game!

[USAFChief]

winnah!!!

Sure, maybe. But can we talk about his playing weight?

From someone who is a fan of a professional sports team who has won back-to-back championships, you don't lose that hunger.  If anything, it makes you want to win another one as soon as possible.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We got us a W.

[Puckett34]

WINNER!!!!

I've heard nothing on this yet ... is that for sure?

Gleeman thinks he tweaked something his last ab. Nothing official.

Yeah, precaution removal vs something minor vs something major ... will have to wait. That's why I was questioning.

 

Thanks.

[snepp]

Winnah!

 

 

Big Winnah, big dinnah!

The chicken dinner I had tonite wasn't presumptious or premature.  Now, let's get the end game tomorrow and really assert themselves as contenders.
