Game Thread: Twins vs. Red Sox 12:10 am GMT 6/19/2018

I'm thinking Sale's getting a no-hitter tonight. *cough, cough*

 

I don't think it matters what Berrios does unless our pitching is near perfect, and even then, I still don't think we win.

He’s living like Austin powers, dangerously

It’s a lineup full of dangerous hitters.

Mama was a bit of an elitist, and the guy was just a commentater.

Would it be considered in bad form to mention Chris Sale has a PERFECT GAME in progress through three?

 

Some people consider it bad luck to mention a PERFECT GAME while it's on going. I'm not sure I buy into the supersticion about mentioning a NO HITTER or PERFECT GAME during the event. I think mentioning a PERFECT GAME as it's happening is probably ok.

I worry that this works as a counterjinx when attempted by a fan of the other team.

Don't push your luck or you could wind up on everyone's ignore list.

I’m worried that we won’t have a baserunner tonight

What's that called, again? When a team doesn't have a baserunner in a nine inning game?

I came OFF everyone's ignore list??

Every 70's rock band currently eeking by playing Treasure Island is ever so envious of the locks.

Here I'm trying to decide who would be a better RF Geddy Lee or Eddie Money.

no.

[Han Joelo]

Well, this is just perfect.  No *hit, there I was.  St®uck out in traffic forever.  I couldn't even walk home because of a small construction zone.  

[USAFChief]

Nice catch Eddie-zee.

The Twins have the type of lineup tonight that matches up well for a Sale no-hitter ... Lots of ice cold or never-were-never-will RH types ... It's once again up to the Ed's

bump

 

 

HINT

[FlauerPauer]

Can both Rosario and Escobar make the all star team?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

My god it really feels like this is going to happen

 

The Red Sox are going to be carrying Sale off the field on their shoulders

[slash129]

Berrios was over-amped early, but he's choosing the right battles and bearing down like an Ace should ... Glad we get him for the next 4.5 years

[drock2190]

Sale is just having fun out there!

[Aggies7]

What’s the record for fewest pitches thrown in a perfect game? That might be all that’s left to watch for

 

Edit: boy this aged poorly, and quickly

[nicksaviking]

I think Dale could go 10 innings if his perfect game is in the line.

[FlauerPauer]

Adrianza is your six hitter? Woof.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

And when you have the home plate ump with money on the game against you...

[Mike Sixel]

I don't understand why Grossman is still on this roster

[Brandon Brooks]

I was just going to say that it might be fun to watch a perfect game.

 

Nice going, Adrianza! Now we can win instead.

[slash129]

Haha ... we jinxed it!!

[Aggies7]

I don't understand why Grossman is still on this roster

Let’s ask molitor

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I seriously thought the batting order was rolling over back to Mauer at leadoff

[Nine of twelve]

*Exhale.*

[FlauerPauer]

Who feels worse?  Falvey and Lavine for having Motter on the team or Mitch Garver that Taylor Motter is hitting above him?

[Aggies7]

Motter looks like he’s in a band that opened for nirvana in 1990

 

Hits like he is, too
