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

[slash129]

Morrison deflated that whole inning ... Hopefully, the new inspiring Cave can get something started next inning. Kennedy looks ripe for picking, but someone has to reach out and take it.

[slash129]

 

 

 

 

 Logan's Run.

 

 

Great sci-fi flik

[Foghorn Leghorn]

That was all Morrison. The runner, especially a veteran, is not looking to the coaches for direction on a double to left field.

 

That's on him.

Well he’s sucked a while, yet they keep playing him. I’d take Vargas back over him at the moment.

[tvagle]

Catching up on the days medical analysis in the JTR thread and i look up to see...Garver drop another duece down the middle...ug-ly

[BoofBonser]

Jake Cave is a stud

[Brock Beauchamp]

Coulda turned that into a triple, Jake.

[tvagle]

two runs needed this inning...Kennedy doing his part to give us a few runners

[Brock Beauchamp]

I have no real interest in watching Morrison swing a bat again but Vargas has been several shades of bad in Rochester. How do you think he'll do in the majors?

[slash129]

Sorry, Twins and Royals fans don't care about the Yankees farm system.  Terrible announcers.

[LaBombo]

Don't make the first or last out at third? Pffft. Conventional baserunning wisdom doesn't apply to a meteorite in very near earth orbit like the 6'2" - 240 lb. sLoMo.

Any worse than .195? Doubtful

Yeah, the last thing I want to hear about as a fan of either of these teams is the Yankees. Thanks for being in touch with your audience, Tom.

He's destroying AAA pitching to the tune of a .709 OPS.

 

That's below league average. From a 27 year old DH.

Batting .419 his last 7 games with a pair of homeruns and 9 RBI's... may be worth a try

[Brock Beauchamp]

I notice you conveniently left out the 24 games in June where he posted an OPS of .497.

^ like I said can’t get much worse than SlowMo

[Foghorn Leghorn]

They both suck. So it’s really a moot point anyway.

Exactly.

Followed by brushing Rosario off as an afterthought with a condescending "Good Luck, Eddie" when discussing the final vote.  Muted.  I'd rather hear Bert talk about his birthday, productive outs and athletic pitchers over and over and over.

[mickeymental]

you can take verducci outa new york but you can’t take new york outa verducci.

[tvagle]

Eddie THE STICK! Great AB

[LaBombo]

The generic FS1 broadcast team is unintentionally hammering home a point tonight that should be very concerning to Twins management, which is that in the absence of the usual blatant homerism, human interest minutae, and Rosario's All Star snub stuff you get with the standard FSN broadcast, the product that the franchise put on the field tonight is virtually impossible to sell to an audience as a team worth watching.

[slash129]

Way to go, Escobar!!  Now Morrison is REQUIRED to homer!

[Danchat]

There's a great example of Dozier's bad RISP hitting and Escobar's excellent RISP hitting. It's crazy how different those two are with guys in scoring position.

I'm still amazed that FS1 didn't find an out to somehow get out of televising this game. The ratings must be through the cellar.

They would never do anything that would prevent Verdouchy from hearing himself talk.

[slash129]

Good outing by Rogers, but he's done.

[Vanimal46]

Did I hallucinate a time where Magill wasn't on the team?

[Danchat]

That was a great appearance from Rogers. I'll take 7 outs with 1 baserunner any day.

[slash129]

There you go Garver!
