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

The stream is fine. Just had to figure out the quiet mode that gets rid of the stupid stream of emoticons.

In the upper right hand corner you should see three dots (I'm on an iPad). Click on them and you should see a "quiet"

icon option. My iPhone has a "quiet" next to the monitor icon in the upper right corner as well that you can click to get rid of the clutter

 

On my iPad I can also screen sweep to the right and down to get rid of all the clutter.

Nice baserunning!

[slash129]

KEPLER!! E-5 going to the Morales school of base-running.

[yarnivek1972]

Better lucky than good, eh Jose?

[slash129]

Carrasco may maddux the Twins today.

[Mike Sixel]

The shift is really working for both teams today, wow.

[Aggies7]

Can they really not put off the alarm for one day when the twins are playing in the afternoon?

[slash129]

Was Morrison trying to blame that terrible swing on the umpire?

[yarnivek1972]

Carrasco threw 3 balls to Polanco. He must be tiring...

[mikeee]

must be some good pitching happening

Off the wall and completely unimportant observation as I am watching the facebook feed - and I have seen this from other broadcasts as well.   In the box that tracks score, count on the batter, pitch count, and  number of outs - I have noticed their are only 2 dots to keep track of the number of outs.  I can understand the concept - by the time you reach 3 outs you don't show the box any more so there is really no need to show 3 dots but somehow it still troubles me slightly.  I am always looking for how many outs there are out of the 3 outs especially if there are no outs and you are trying to figure out what the 2 dots represent.

Carrasco looks untouchable so far.

Dots a good observation.

IMO, Mejia might be one of TR's best smaller trades.......he's a legit number 4 starter.

 

Berrios, Gibson, Mejia, Pineda, Odorizzi, Romero, Gonsalves, Slegers, and more....maybe ESan at a lower rate?

 

I'm not sure they will bring in an outside SP this off season.....

[gocgo]

The Orioles are putting it on the Yankees.  I can watch that!

[wavedog]

Polanco covered some ground on that play - very nice!

Nope.

Lynn is pitching. Didn't start though

I’ll say this: the Twins have trotted out far worse over the last two years. Probably 40-50 starts worth of worse. Half of those likely should have gone to Mejia.

[Aggies7]

 

Nope.

Why not? What is it for anyway?

[slash129]

Probably the best 5 innings I've seen from Mejia .... Hopefully, that final half season tune-up in Rochester will result in lots of this!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mejia matching Carrasco so far.

 

As expected.

A bit OCD ???

[yarnivek1972]

How far does Mejia figure to go here after throwing 40 pitches Sunday?

 

He’s at about 80 now. Maybe send him out for the 6th, but I’d be ready to get him at the first sign of trouble.

[Jerr]

Practice to make sure they work.

Cool that it can be streamed!  I did not know it was on!

Sano keeps hitting since he got off the FTM Shame Train

The world should make sense, shouldn't it?

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