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

[Shaitan]

Had Magill entered with inherited runners yet this year?

[h2oface]

Dozier still reaches out to the trailing bent leg to tag the stealing runner, and still doesn't leave the glove on the runner but shows it to the ump. Some just don't evolve. Garver had the throw there in plenty of time. Dozier was lucky to get the out.

[LaBombo]

 

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

 

Every time they tell us Magill is warming up, I catch myself hoping for a second that Tess from Working Girl is about to make another attention-grabbing entrance, but no luck so far.

Whit Merri-go-round on that one...had to LOL

 

Laid an egg on it then dodge-balled Kepler in the ankle

[Richie the Rally Goat]

This team is managed by idiots.

and?

And

 

“Jesus! WTF was that!”

[BoofBonser]

Holy crap... was watching the Reds and Indians game... turned it off after Reds blew another rally in the 7th trailing 4-0

Just saw now that they won 7-4... nice

[slash129]

I've found the perfect combination of volume and white noise that allows me to only hear the play-by-play and no color ... I call it Verducc-away.

[jtkoupal]

The Indians just blew a 4-run lead... in the 9th... against the Reds

 

They lost 7-4

 

Twins can get to 7.5 GB with a comeback tonight.

 

Are the Indians... CHOKING?

[slash129]

C'mon Dozier!!!

[slash129]

Really?

 

 

[BoofBonser]

Yeah. We would get 0 runs out of that.

[tvagle]

 

C'mon Dozier!!!

Rally killer

 

Rosario...of all peeps...works a count take a walk to "Keep the Line Moving" and Doze jumps out front, rolls over, tries to pull the outside pitch and if Moose was aggressive might have had a triple play

 

Dozier trade value takes a hit

 

Another example of Twins hitters making it easy for the other pitcher

[wavedog]

Dozier should have gone the other way with that pitch.

[Danchat]

And that's why Dozier shouldn't be your #3 hitter. He can't hit guys across the plate.

[jun]

I want Dozier gone asap.

Other than occasionally hitting a homer, he can never produce when needed.

[BoofBonser]

4 innings to score at least 3 runs... can this offense do it? 

[mrmpls]

good effort esco

[Vanimal46]

Ouch. First time the Royals have scored 5+ runs in their last 31 games.

 

Twins... this is how we bust your slump

That's what they get for taking a guy out that's tossing a shutout.

[Kato87]

Is Alcides Escobar hitting over .500 against the Twins this year?  his overall average is .199

[Blake]

This game is really dragging. Uggh.

 

 

[jkcarew]

That's what they get for taking a guy out that's tossing a shutout.

Bauer had thrown 111 pitches through 8. Two relievers threw 41 to get through the 9th.

[wavedog]

I have seen enough of Morrison

[operation mindcrime]

I want Dozier gone asap.

Other than occasionally hitting a homer, he can never produce when needed.

He should be gone within 3 weeks! Stay patient!

[wavedog]

We take 4 straight from the Orioles and now the O’s have taken 2 out of 3 from the Yankees who we can’t beat. Youneverknow.

[jun]

Both Dozier and Morrison are rally killers.

[Danchat]

Well, against the odds, Belisle is getting outs. I still don't really see his purpose on this team as I'd rather see younger relievers take these innings... unless they plan on having him on next year's roster? Hopefully not.

[Vanimal46]

This shift against Luda is pretty silly...

[yarnivek1972]

I figure Belisle is done. Almost 30 pitches. Reed and Duke most likely for the 8th and 9th.

[jkcarew]

This shift against Luda is pretty silly...

Luda?

 

Probably just trying to get him to Roll Out.
