Game Thread: Twins @ Tigers 6:10pm cdt 9/22/2017 ad

Bremer talking about the Detroit bullpen like the Twins have a Yankees/Indians(esque) caliber bullpen.

[Darius]

Buxton's turnaround is incredible. His season average is now higher than Dozier's.

Compared to the Tigers, they do.

 

Of course, a lot of the Tiger bullpen issues (and the Twins too) would be helped with better starting pitching.

[Darius]

Miscalculation: he's one hundredth behind Dozier.

Compared to the Tigers, they do.

While I don't disagree with you, a smidgen of perspective may be needed in this situation.

I'm wondering what knucklehead wrote the copy to think that the Twins would host the WC game.  And then, also wondering why Dick would read it.

I was only half paying attention. Weren't they talking about a game 163?

After he got done reading the ticket promo, they then went into the scenarios for Game 163 (oh God, not THAT again!).  But in the middle of that promo was talk about tickets on sale for 'a potential Game 163, the wildcard game, and the ALDS'.  I had to do a double-take when I heard him say it.

[TwinsCD]

He doesn't want to start with a leadoff homer either, Dick.

[yarnivek1972]

Definitely not good Gibson. This is Gibson from June to mid August.

Well, the last time I bought playoff tickets, one had to buy an entire strip for all possible home games, every round. Assuming that is still true.

Resilience!

[Squirrel]

 

Make sure the lipstick is on your lips. 

 

It makes you look kind of crazy on your cheeks or eyebrows. 

Oh! No wonder! Now you tell me!

[bighat]

Gibson's a great fielder. If he pitches a bit better one of these years, he might win a gold glove.

[PDX Twin]

Bell on the mound. Time for a dinger this inning...

[Blake]

 

Oh! No wonder! Now you tell me!

Must resist temptation to pile on, must resist temptation to pile on....

[yarnivek1972]

I went to a concert and a baseball game broke out...

[PDX Twin]

Something's wrong here:

 

Cabrera makes a diving catch.

 

Mauer strikes out twice.

 

Cabrera hits into two double plays.

[yarnivek1972]

This might be pressing luck. Gibson has been far from sharp.

[yarnivek1972]

Keeps falling behind. Keeps getting away with it.

 

Those were 3 very loud outs.

 

Bullpen time.

[snepp]

FFS Dick, give it up about the music already.

[John Kelsey]

Buxton is stinging it tonight. 

[bighat]

Richard is really bothered by that band making a ruckus outside the stadium isn't he? Take it easy, Dick - focus on the game and not the concert buddy.

It's not 2009 any more.

Can you describe the ruckus?

Its the baseballs in the Tampa Ray pool all over again.

It is unnecessarily loud, to be fair

[yarnivek1972]

It is unnecessarily loud, to be fair

It probably wouldn't be if there were, you know, fans cheering.

[jimmer]

season’s over. season’s not over. season’s over. season’s not over ...

i've been comfortably saying we will make the playoffs for almost a month now.

[Aggies7]

Dozier costs belisle a save op
