sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Clear and 83F 9. Darwin Barney ( R) 2B8. Ryan Goins (L) SS7. Russell Martin ( R) C6. Kevin Pillar ( R) CF5. Kendrys Morales (S) DH4. Jose Bautista (R ) RF3. Justin Smoak (S) 1B2. Josh Donaldson ( R) 3B1. Teoscar Hernandez ( R) LF Hope the Jays are happy with Happ (L) pitching. That's the Blue Jays. 9. Max Kepler (L) RF8. Chris Gimenez ( R) C7. Mitch Garver ( R) DH6. Eddie Rosario (L) LF5. Byron Buxton (R ) CF4. Eduardo Escobar (S) 3B3. Jorge Polanco (S) SS2. Joe Mauer (L) 1B1. Brian Dozier ( R) 2B And we call on Colon ( R) to toe the rubber. That's our Twins. Things we thought about: 5. Oppo Day. You might notice something different here... I had to wait all night to see Buxton's Game winning home run. Am declaring today Oppo day in the hope today's walk homer(s) can happen right off the bat. 4. Today's Joe M. Conversation. Joe Montana: Wait. What are we doing here? Joe Madden: It's a game thread intro. Can't we be in all of them? Joe Mauer: I am late for Batting Practice. And this only once per series. Like always taking the first pitch. Anyway, Bye. Joe McCarthy: I plead the 5th. I am just going to remain silent. Joe Miranda: He has the right to. Joe Montana: As are we all. 3. Blue Jays. They are a pro team. They will try to win. And they got some players that traditionally mash us. Let's break with that tradition, please. 2. Twins. 1. Brainerd. Smart people live there. And even they couldn't decide, so in true chief fashion... Yes. Isn't that where Paul Bunyan protects the melted puddles remaining from the wall that kept Wildlings and Others up North? He is the only remaining giant of Nordic origins, as he bought into Odin's sabrmetrics...
Vanimal46 Old-Timey Member Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 It's amazing what you learn on Twins Daily! I had no idea Bunyan was a descendant of King's Landing!
Craig Arko Old-Timey Member Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Good to see Kepler in against the lefty.
Brock Beauchamp Site Manager Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Could be a tough day against a good lefty.

I was worried something would explode after the countdown.
jimbo92107 Verified Member Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 !Day Oppo declaring are yoU !okaY That's too hard. Ball play!

ashbury Verified Member Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 4. Today's Joe M. Conversation. Joe Montana: Wait. What are we doing here?Breaking the fourth wall. Nicely done.
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Good to see Kepler in against the lefty. You can't improve against lefties on the bench. I hope he succeeds. We need him too.
Danchat Old-Timey Member Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 I'm glad Garver and Kepler are in the lineup. I'm hoping they get some hits, Kepler needs to start hitting lefties and Garver just needs this chance to start hitting and stick in the lineup. I'm sorry to say this, but I'm feeling a big loss today. I don't think Colon is going to strand 8+ runners again, plus Happ is pretty good.

yarnivek1972 Verified Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Sometimes smoke and mirrors works. At least for awhile.
yarnivek1972 Verified Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Guess we're going to find out how good Happ is at holding runners.
jimbo92107 Verified Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Sometimes smoke and mirrors means there's a fire at the mirror factory. Still, Big Sexy is fooling them so far.
USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Kepler with an 0-2 hit. Off a lefty. LOL.
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 That's what I'm talkin' about! Go Kepler!
John Kelsey Verified Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Mientkiewicz got fired today.
adorduan Verified Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Can Mauer please swing at a strike before it gets to 0-2.
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Those first two pitches to Mauer...... some would call mistakes.
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Mientkiewicz got fired today. WTF!

h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Polanco missed another "mistake".
USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 We had bases loaded, no outs, and got 1 run. I don't know whether to thrilled or disappointed.
Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 How about a bases clearing gapper, like one time.
bighat Verified Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Looks like Escobar could use a day off. Adrianza at 3rd tomorrow?
USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 OK, Big Sexy. Keep keeping the ball off the sweet spot.
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Damn. Bases loaded with no outs for 2-3-4 batters, and all we get is a sac fly and one run. The table was set!
