Game Thread (8/8): Twins at Cleveland, 6:10 PM CT

[Aggies7]

Per radio guys, Williams Astudillo just pulled off the hidden-ball trick at Rochester.

So did sano just now. Thought he had it but it disappeared

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Forsythe, Cave, all sorts of Twins pulling the ol' hidden ball trick tonight

 

should be in my glove ... NOPE!

[tvagle]

Nice inning of Hot Potato so far....

[Aggies7]

Tom Kelly needs to come back, if for no other reason than bc our defense makes me ill

[operation mindcrime]

Logan had the Forsythe to stick with that play!

[tvagle]

I'm resigned to hoping if Lindor Steals Garver just throws back to Odorizzi...skip the pump fake and most definitely don't throw through

Tonight’s giveaway is runs, sponsored by the twins, for the first 25 indians through the gates

[tvagle]

Sano's poor attempted bare-handed play costs a run

[slash129]

Self-inflicted foot-shot wounds ... Gotta love 'em

[operation mindcrime]

Stinkorizzi did okay other than his pitch count!

[Aggies7]

Self-inflicted foot-shot wounds ... Gotta love 'em

Not hard to see why the record is what it is

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Maysie to the rescue

[Aggies7]

How does sano continue to be fooled by the breaking ball low and away in the dirt?

[Twodogs]

How does Odorizzi burn through so many pitches?? He only had like 2 walks and no K's?? It's just amazing how his pitch counts get so high all of the time.

Maybe it will inspire 'em to make up for 'em with the bat.

#24 always been kind of a sacred number, mainly cuz of Willy Mays, and less so Griffey Jr.

 

Seeing Logan Forsythe take the number caused curiosity, especially seeing LaMarre had it earlier this season.

 

Notable Twin #24s, in my order of importance for my enjoyment:

 

1. Willie Norwood

2. Shane Mack

3. Tom Brunansky

4. Soup Campbell

5. Trevor Plouffe

6. Mike Lamb

 

 

Others include Matt Lecroy, Rondell White, Ricardo Ingram, Jaime Garcia, and going back to the 50's and the Senators, the immortal Bunky Stewart.

It still kinda bums me out that May didn't get more opportunity as a starter before we moved him to the pen. On the bright side though, I think he has the potential to be a solid setup guy or high leverage reliever, and I really hope he reaches that potential.

1. Willie Norwood

Sadist 

 

21 errors in 231 MLB games...in the OF!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Nice moment between Morrison and Rajai Davis back there!

[Linus]

I have seen enough of Morrison in the field. He might as unathletic as Josh Willingham.

can't disagree

 

Well, I can, but not going to

[VATwinsFan]

Sometimes they're pretty bad and sometimes they're pretty good

 

Maddening.

[VATwinsFan]

De Jong didn't do too poorly for Rochester this evening:

 

5.2 IP in relief

3 hits

1 run

3 walks

5 Ks

He was struggling big time in AAA as a starter... I always liked him as a starter more, but signs were on the wall that he wasn't going to do very well as a starter this season.

[Craig Arko]

Maverick Magill. I like it.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Feels like a 6 or 8 run deficit, but only down 2-1 going into 8th

I should've specified, I more meant prior to his injury, when we first moved him to the pen. No surprise at all that he's pitching out of the pen on the big league club this season.

4. Soup Campbell

 

This one got me googlin' a bit.

 

 

17 wins in in '76 without a start made. Tony Fiore is jealous.
