Game Thread: Twins vs Royals, 9/2/17 @ 7:10 PM CT

[Ultima Ratio]

I'm calling another field goal tacked on in the waning minutes to make the final 20-0.

[Blake]

Now, about the run differential...

 

 

[jimbo92107]

Okay, I'm ready to call this game. Twins win, by at least five runs.

My wife can't believe the game still has to be finished.

 

I told her that baseball is a cruel game sometimes.

17-0? When did we start doing Vikings threads?

[twinsnorth49]

Just looking at the box scores, why did Gibson get lifted after 81?

It was 14-0.  He had done plenty.  Save that arm.

[TwinsCD]

OK, let's get Nico his first MLB hit and call this one a night.

Bi-lateral shutout... severe.

[adorduan]

I'm watching on MLB.tv and can't hear Dick or LaTroy.  Not that that's really horrible...

Latroy schools the journalist on the human element of athletes talking Bonds

KC pitchers over 200 pitch count.

Not so fast ... I'm guessing Perkins gets the 9th.

[h2oface]

Late to the show..... missing the fun.
Any Gibson bashing going on today?

Turley.

Never mind, Turley might be able to hold them off a little.

[h2oface]

I guess not much desire to set the new shutout run differential record...... It's all on Turley now. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Shame on you.

Shame is a dish best served with lots of ice cream.

 

Did ya bring the jimmies?

 

(i'm just talking out of my hat... i don't really know. Just figured ice cream was always safe)

[h2oface]

Wow. I hope they got more for the rest of the month! New record!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I think we won...

 

Is that good?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Twins started play with a -16 run differential. May be positive by the time this one is over.

prophetic!

[Monkeypaws]

If I'm a pitching coach, I tell Turley to trust that fastball. Never saw him until tonite---damn, power lefty with a good curve.

[Blake]

 

[Squirrel]

Shame on you.

I'm old. Go shame someone else.

[SwainZag]

That was fun!

Let's add to the weirdness: Gibson struck out 2 in the first inning. Had 5 strikeouts through first 3 innings, I believe.

[CampQ]

OUR RUN DIFFERENTIAL IS PLUS ONE

[USAFChief]

 

Run differential positive.

They like us!  They really like us!!
