Game Thread: Twins vs Kansas City, 7/9/18 @ 5:10 PM PT (7:10 PM CT)

Since this is a game thread, can someone help put a positive spin on Bobby Wilson? Other than that somewhat agile play on that bunt pop-up, I got nothin'.

He's a better defensive catcher than I am. Does that do anything for you?

[David HK]

Glad to see the Royals still rolling with the Omegas in the lineup-

 

Whit Merrifield, Burch Smith, Heath Fillmyer-  I'm disappointed not to see Cheslor Cuthbert there however, eh, what?

 

Cucumber sandwich, anyone?

If he comes up with two outs, he guarantees the Twins have the top of the order up in the fifth?

Yes. Milk came out my nose.

[David HK]

Man, the kid playing with fire all night long.

 

Man, the offense not even playing with matches.

[jtkoupal]

 

Maybe the Twins can sweep that octuple header they have schedule against the Indians in August, and make it all up in one day

They do still have 10 games left with the Indians...

[David HK]

 

I'd rather not. The guy seems to have a bit of crazy in him and not in a good way.

Heh... remember a month or so ago, when he was making Manson eyes and barking at Eddie R.

 

I love that Eddie just shrugged it off, too.

[Danchat]

More bad RISP hitting...

[slash129]

It used to ... I'm pretty close to getting on the Navaretto train though. He's supposed to be a plus catcher, and I think he could hit at least .180.

Has Molitor sent pinch hitter before the 9th ever? I see other managers do that all the time. Wilson and Grossman need pinch hitter badly. If they don't want to release Wilson or Grossman, they can at least pinch hit for them earlier and often.

Not a chance.

[David HK]

Calling Garver dinger to tie it.

 

Then, calling Twins pitcher giving the run back next inning.

 

heh.... passive-aggressive optimistic-pessimism.

You could scare people away with that kind of negativity

[notoriousgod71]

God, replay is just stupid. Video clearly showed the runner beat the throw back by no less than nine minutes.

Yes, get Cave in for Robbie as soon as Duffy's out.

 

And get Willians in for BW, like, oh, a couple months ago or so.

[Vanimal46]

And yet the video didn't matter. I agree it's a terribly slow process.

[jkcarew]

Not a chance.

Yeah...Wilson’s major-league OPS higher than Navaretto’s in the minors so far. Is good defensively.

[slash129]

Did anyone see that game where Danny Duffy pitched 113 innings against the Rangers?

and then they brought in a reliever in the top of the 114th?

On 24-June-2018, Bobby Wilson had the game winning RBI against Texas (Bartolo Colon).

Yeah, I remember hearing about that game that finally ended 2 days after it started. Crazy stuff.

[Vanimal46]

Another gem from Berrios... now score some GD runs.

[Monkeypaws]

M'Boppa? Dick really had to stretch talking about footie there.

[Mill1634]

Please don't waste this start Minnesota. 

 

Also, BOBBY!!!!

[Vanimal46]

Big Stick Bob coming through yet again!!

[mickeymental]

bobby wilson all-star snub.

[slash129]

That's what I get for talkin' 'bout Bobby like that.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Mauersie keeps it alive...
