Game Thread (8/1): Twins vs. Cleveland, 12:10 pm CT

I think the trade was made by Antony after TR had been fired. Nunez trade maybe?

 

ah, well, then Antony's best trade!

[Mike Sixel]

I have no issue avoiding the TTO penalty here....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Magill time!

 

At least according to the internet. Not watching the game myself. Could just be a mistake since Mejia has been doing well...

[Aggies7]

lol we just got beaten by the little league double steal

[Mike Sixel]

barely...but yes. 

[wavedog]

A great catch and tag at 2nd base by Adrianza I believe - unfortunately the run scored.  

[sampleSizeOfOne]

How'd the double steal play out? They throw down to second too late and not pay attention to speedy Davis at 3rd?

[wavedog]

Well Magill is getting lit up today - several hard shots - actually I think everyone has hit him hard so far.

well, he got him out at 2nd......and he threw right away. Next guy just hit a double....so that saved a run.

[Mike Sixel]

Can I take back my endorsement? 

[Aggies7]

encarnacion and ramirez 9-21 with 7 RBI this series

[Jerr]

 

The world should make sense, shouldn't it?

Good luck with that hope/wish.

Not beat yet...

 

Never give up, never surrender!

 

And i bet there also exists a major league version of it too.

[Mill1634]

Maybe Molitor knew all along that Magill should be no more than a 7th option out of the pen.

I just meant beaten on the play. Lots of game left

[slash129]

I'm sending my alexa back to Amazon.  I got ripped off.

Thanks!

 

I was wondering why there was still a runner at second after the update included the caught stealing...

 

Anyway, out of inning, and time to answer...

[Tomj14]

 

Offense seems punchless

.376,.380,.405

That is the slugging percentage from the Twins 3,4,5 hitters. Any wonder it seems punchless?

Okay then...

 

Nevermind...

 

Carry on.

[slash129]

Mauer needs to do that more.

I am amused by the punctuation. comma-period combo doesn't come up that often.

 

But yeah, those are pretty low slugging percentages.

At this point in the season, that's about all that I can get amused about too

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Good luck with that hope/wish.

Well, it does make sense.

 

Just not at 100% efficiency.

 

And there are some really interesting by-products.

[mikeee]

fun to watch moya pitch!

[slash129]

Really, Cave?  

[BoofBonser]

 

fun to watch moya pitch!

Yeah, too bad Molitor's answer to being asked if he wanted to see any other AAA players this year was "Not really"... I really don't want to see him around next year 

[slash129]

Solid inning from Moya

[Aggies7]

This isn't even THAT bad of a lineup, all things considered. But they look terrifically bad.

there is so much movement on the pitches, the CLE catcher is moving all over.....but he's getting it over the plate

[slash129]

Ka! Just under it.
