Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Tigers, 9/21@6:10pm CT

[PDX Twin]

Yup. Every once in a while, a bad call goes OUR way! (But notice it's not in a close game where it would actually be useful.)

[alexlegge]

 

That was a gift strike call on the previous batter.

 

First time I've ever seen someone strike out on a pitch that almost hit him in the face. Talk about adding insult to injury.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Great ballgame. Just what they needed today.

[TwinsCD]

With the Twins reaching double digits tonite, I'll be scrambling for the 'under' bet in tomorrow's game.

[Aggies7]

Max eases into second base (standing)

[yarnivek1972]

Yeah, I think I would be fine with 1 mound visit in innings 1-6 and 2 from 7 onward.

 

There has been at least 4 this inning so far.

How many times have we heard that Max's parents were ballet dancers?

[Danchat]

It's great to see Kepler with the big hit. His bat hasn't caught fire like the rest of the club's through August-Sept, maybe it can be his time to shine the following couple weeks.

[yarnivek1972]

Maybe Jaye just isn't good, Tom.

Something doesn't appear to be right with him. Maybe that's it

Gibby on the mound. They'll likely score 218.

[IndianaTwin]

If this score holds, the Tigers will have averaged giving up 7 runs per game during September. 

 

That's not very good.

 

Oh, and have scored less than 4 per game. 

 

That's not very good either.

that is how the umpires plan it...they had a meeting.

Look at the pitchers and the statistics of the guys they're running out there.  Outside of Zimmerman none should ever sniff an MLB mound past, present, or future.

so, like the majority of Twins pitchers this decade?

[bighat]

For as frustrating as it's been for Twins fans the past few days, the Angels fans have to be pretty peeved watching their team struggle to take advantage of the huge door the Twins opened while in NYC.

Makes you wonder how quickly after the final out they deep-six Ausmus.

So true. Oh well

I always said they should have hired Gardy prior to 2016

[yarnivek1972]

Ausmus must love bringing in a guy who walks the lead off man, who is hitting .083, in a 12-1 game.

[yarnivek1972]

This guy would be great if the teams were playing cricket.

[Aggies7]

This must be what it felt like to play the twins last year

[Monkeypaws]

Love the joy a foul ball brings to a child !

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Texas is up in their game. If they win, they will pull even with LA, at 2.5 games behind the Twins.

 

I can't believe I just typed that.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Way to go Goodrum letting Detroit back in the game

 

 

#notReally

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

btw The game thread needs to go to 2,000 for that Wildcard game (knock on wood)

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

[Aggies7]

Magic number: 8

 

YIKES

The Rangers also have a better run differential than the Angels with a slightly easier remaining schedule. They may actually be a tougher team to put away than LA.

They strike me as having better pitching too (but don't know for sure)
