Game Thread: Twins vs. Royals 8/3 @ 5:10 PM PT (7:10 PM CT)

[Nine of twelve]

Raining pretty hard in the western suburbs right now. Unless there are some quick outs I don't think this game will be completed.

[VATwinsFan]

 

The Logans are due up...

Maybe we can get something back.

They did their part.

[VATwinsFan]

Brian Dozier is 5 for 8 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs in his first two games with his new team.

 

I'd say the Dodgers are happy with that trade.

Like Cuddyer in the booth, wish he could replace Smalley- hawkins and Hunter

[Han Joelo]

My gameday says "delayed"--rain, or I Odorizzi just between pitches?

Well played

[notoriousgod71]

Odorizzi basically cost himself a win by not being able to complete an inning in less than 20 minutes.

[rileyroy]

I think he might be a good manager.

[yarnivek1972]

Any speculation as to “now what”?

 

Rain doesn’t look like it will stop until about 11. Will they really wait that long?

 

Tomorrow looks like rain pretty much all day. They’ll be lucky to get one in let alone two.

[yarnivek1972]

Supposedly they are going to resume at 10:10.

 

Radar shows it still raining at Target Field.

 

???

[Danchat]

Well, there you go, they're playing again. They'll probably finish the game at 12:30.

as long as the TEAM wins, that's all that matters

[yarnivek1972]

Well, there you go, they're playing again. They'll probably finish the game at 12:30.

Future radar indicates it will be raining again by then.

[howeda7]

Might need to treat the bottom of the 5th like the bottom of the 9th. 

[operation mindcrime]

That was amazing!

[howeda7]

Make Morrison bunt here. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

I wish Sano was more athletic.

[Danchat]

With all the contact Sano's been making lately, I'm feeling better about the rest of the season for him... perhaps he's figured out the pitch recognition problem.

[Aggies7]

Poor grounds crew guys and gals. Umpires always wait too long to call for the tarp. GC never gets paid enough.

[howeda7]

11:13 PM. Meaningless game. Why would you not just call it?

[Aggies7]

11:13 PM. Meaningless game. Why would you not just call it?

There’s an old saying regarding these situations, “if it ain’t rainin, we playin”. Awfully hard to go tell Ned Yost the rain is over but so is the game. No such thing as a meaningless game to the players and staff.

This game isn't meaningless! If we win it hurts our draft position!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

so bottom of 6 and delayed again...

 

Sorry i am just checking in now.

 

Any expectation of continuing?

[S.]

To the few of you still watching and who changed the channel, game is set to resume shortly. Some confusion going on with the umpires and an announced RP before the rain delay started.

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah! Play ball

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yup. Back to regularly scheduled game.

[Danchat]

Wow, I didn't think they'd finish the game today. Well, it's off to bed with me.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Still vaguely awake and occasionally checking score.

 

Not much more.

[wavedog]

We get the FRE post midnight edition. A mellower version 1,2,3 easy
