Game Thread (8/16): Twins vs. Detroit, 7:10 PM CT

[tvagle]

 

Yes.

Dozed off during a pitching change and figured it had to be the 9th by now

[Mill1634]

Wow. Great base running from Sano. He seems like he wants to be here. 

[ashbury]

Note to opposing scouts: you may want to try low breaking pitches to Tyler Austin.

 

What's that you say? "We know!!!"

 

Oh.

[yarnivek1972]

I didn’t think there was such a thing as a less selective hitter than Sano. Looks like the Twins found him.

[tvagle]

Sano is in the Game Thread?

[ashbury]

No.

[snotboogie]

Another $12 beer should cheer you right up.

I’ll work on that.

[ashbury]

14-7. Do we need a few insurance runs, now?

[stringer bell]

Back up by a touchdown.

[yarnivek1972]

Wilson appears to have a pretty good slider.

 

And apparently no other serviceable pitch.

[LaBombo]

So we can all agree that labeling Logan Forsythe's hot streak a small sample anomaly is way too boring; that leaves either A) a guy playing like he wants to be in Minnesota next year or a guy playing like he wants to leave Minnesota next week.

 

I'm voting A), in the hopes it will indirectly increase real estate values in the Twin Cities.

[David HK]

Wow. Catching up on this one late--

 

Looks like Joe Kapp handed off to Bill Brown and then Dave Osborn, and the Vikings went up on Greg Landry and the Lions.

[Aggies7]

This is one of the worst baseball games of all time

[tvagle]

McAllister with a tidy 135.0 ERA for the night's work...I'd suggest this

 

[LaBombo]

Up by a touchdown...I'm hoping they gamble and go for two here.

[mrmpls]

What a pitching and defense clinic tonight!!!!

[mrmpls]

2-pt conversion =Good

[tvagle]

Tonight must be All Relievers must throw 30 pitches per appearance night

[LaBombo]

 

McAllister with a tidy 135.0 ERA for the night's work.

 

 

Let's hope he doesn't go the same route as his cousin who jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

[yarnivek1972]

According to gameday, that pitch almost hit Rosario...

[D. Hocking]

 

Up by a touchdown...I'm hoping they gamble and go for two here.

 

Mauer could drill a tight pass in the end zone with ease.

[Danchat]

 

2-pt conversion =Good

You stole my joke...

 

 

 

Boy, this is some brutal baseball from Detroit. Yikes... have fun over there, Gardy.

[tvagle]

At this pace Big Erv might be eligible to finish this game

[yarnivek1972]

I seriously don’t believe Wilson has gotten a strike (other than balls in play) on anything besides sliders.

[tvagle]

 

Mauer could drill a tight pass in the end zone with ease.

...I...this...um...nevermind

[David HK]

Heh... How pissed did Addison Reed look in that quickie bullpen shot?

 

"OK- maybe 8 runs is enough to let Addison pitch...."

[yarnivek1972]

I suspect the 20-30 people who haven’t left yet, will do so after the 7th inning stretch.

[snotboogie]

Tiger’s rally starts.

[tvagle]

Maybe Addison should meet up with McAllister after that drop the bat HR for Niko "we didn't need him" Goodrum...maybe Reed would rather have some Good Rum

[Danchat]

Reed has been having a Ervin-like issue with velocity as well... here's hoping he can regain his lost velocity for next season.
