I switched gameday to Espanol.... So far, it has confused Cleveland's offense.

Gracias

[Mill1634]

Chris Carter has two dingers, OPS of .833 in 8 games in AAA. Call him up. Robbie is not a DH

[Han Joelo]

I wandered over to the minor league scoreboard hoping to find something hopeful prospect-wise.

 

Jose Miranda has 2 rbi's. And that is it.

 

Cedar Rapids has a kid by the name of Tanner Keist. Never heard of him before. Maybe there's a reason...

Big fan of aggressive promotions.

Cleveland is starting pitching rich.

Grossman up there looking for a walk against a guy who doesn't walk hardly anyone. 

 

Pitcher groves a fastball down the plate for the 2nd strike and then takes a called strike 3.

 

HE HAS GOT TO GO!

[VATwinsFan]

Look at the bright side, at least we're not behind by 9 runs.

But then again it would appear that with Bieber pitching the way he is we might as well be.

[yarnivek1972]

To be fair to the Cleveland rookie, he's been scorching the minor leagues this year. 1.10 ERA and 61/3 K/BB in AA and AAA.

Aggressive promotion by the Indians after just 5 AAA starts

And he continues to pitch well against AAA lineups.

[Mill1634]

Welp. Have a goodnight y'all

[Han Joelo]

6-0.

 

Even Circus Boy wouldn't be happy about this update...

[VATwinsFan]

Say, did you know that Lindor is from Puerto Rico?

[yarnivek1972]

For one brief moment, victory was within our grasp.

 

 

 

And then the game started.

[Han Joelo]

Is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me...

I think there's a book what does it.

 

Leviticus.

7-0

 

More Purple shoes, please!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I went to the big top to see the circus, and it was in tents.

[Han Joelo]

Leviticus.

I think Revelations might be more appropriate. The end times are upon us.

[yarnivek1972]

Why wouldn’t that happen?

[yarnivek1972]

Exodus.

 

As that is what is likely happening at the ballpark.

[jimmer]

Indians announcers blaming Kepler for Dozier's drop

[Han Joelo]

Get Rochester on the phone.

[launchingthrees]

Wow. That drop.

[Mill1634]

Lol Dozier

It has been revealed to me that we got our Job cut out for us...

[yarnivek1972]

I guess we’re going to find out how long Rogers can go. 1 1/3 max is my guess. 2 from Duffey hopefully. 2 from Magill. Give Rodney an inning.

[USAFChief]

Rather embarrassing display of major league baseball.

 

And chalk up another ball that hit Garver in the glove but ends up on the ground.

I want to see Bobby Wilson pitch. I'll bet he has a few tricks up his sleeve.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That play was appropriate for a circus...

 

If Mitch held onto ball, i think the tag woulda been in time, but they still got the out in a pickle afterwards.

 

Still ahead of last game. We can come back 8 runs.

Some receivers don't wear gloves...

 

Maybe Garver should be one of 'em?

 

(it would be hard core!)

[drock2190]

Well this has been bound to happen. Pitchers have been overperforming to an extent. Now the Twins will start hitting but they will still lose. 

 

Rinse and Repeat. 2018 Twins everybody!
