Game Thread: Indians @ Twins, 6/3 @ 1:10 CT

[Platoon]

Hmmmmm did he stumble around the bag? That said he might not have made it anyway. Excellent relay by Lindor.

[Blake]

Seriously, it wasn't that long ago Adrianza was sent in a similar situation and he was out by quite a bit. But did the Twins coaches learn from the first time?

 

Evidently not.

 

Unreal.

[Squirrel]

Bleep.

You can say ****. The system bleeps it for you. And it is so much more satisfying typing **** than bleep.

[bighat]

Whoopsies.

[S.]

 

Still a man on 3rd and 1 out - a good baseball team gets this run across, even after the baserunning blunder. No excuses not to score here.

There was 1 out and Adrianza made 2. 

[GCTF]

 

Really? Didn't learn the first time you sent Adrianza?

It's settled then. Going forward Glynn is only to send Adrianza if he's the runner on 3rd with a bases loaded walk.

[Squirrel]

Me and the gator watching the game.

Adrianza is way overrated on his speed.

[Nine of twelve]

Sometimes you have to pick up your teammates when there's a misplay. That also applies when a coach is the teammate in question. 

[bighat]

 

There was 1 out and Adrianza made 2. 

I'm sorry about that, my gamecast stream didn't indicate there were 2 outs.

Strat-O-Matic Report - Bottom of the 8th

 

Morrison singles to right.
Escobar grounds into a double play.
Kepler grounds out to the pitcher.

 

Hmmm... which position player should I have pitch the 9th?

[Platoon]

It's settled then. Going forward Glynn is only to send Adrianza if he's the runner on 3rd with a bases loaded walk.

What if he misses the plate?

****, really? I didn't know that.

[S.]

 

I'm sorry about that, my gamecast stream didn't indicate there were 2 outs.

No apologies necessary, it's Glynn that should be apologizing for ruining that inning.

[Darius]

Even with Wilson coming up, I hate that decision to possibly run into the second out at home there.

 

Even if Wilson can't get it done, you have a hitter that's getting hit coming up with two down in Dozier.

I know, but I had to get my binoculars to see who was playimg!

Is Chris Gimenez available?

Is that an actual analog stereo your tv is on? Or is it a retro type thing? (Hoping it's the real deal. )

[GCTF]

 

What if he misses the plate?

Entirely possible, but we'll have to trust him on that one.

[Blake]

Hmm, Dozier coming up top of the Ninth? 

 

Walk off maybe?

Those look like crocs, not gators?

[bighat]

What the heck is Rodney doing in here? Is Molitor off his medication?

[Puckett34]

 

Hmm, Dozier coming up top of the Ninth? 

 

Walk off maybe?

Well, there will be nobody on base.     Depends on how the FRE goes.

[Jham]

Why bring in Rodney to face the bottom of the order?

[Blake]

 

What if he misses the plate?

That's a question you'd never ask Bartolo.

[Squirrel]

I know, but I had to get my binoculars to see who was playimg!

Lol, well played.

[Danchat]

 

Is Chris Gimenez available? 

Well, no... but I can move Escobar from short to pitcher, right? He's pitched once before.

[Puckett34]

 

Why bring in Rodney to face the bottom of the order?

My guess is so that the game is still tied at the bottom of the 9th.   That and Hildenberger is presumably unavailable.

[Squirrel]

It’s just a credenza.

[Squirrel]

I don’t wear plastic shoes. Those are Naot sandals.
