Game Thread 9/10 vs Yankees

Was tonight’s game thread moved to Twins Minor League Talk forum?

[Squirrel]

Nope. There is no longer a schedule ... whoever gets here first, starts it ... so this will be the game thread tonight.

[rileyroy]

Gibson 41 pitches in two innings. Tomorrow is an Opener (bullpen) game. Everybody gets to play!

Someone yanked the table cloth and took all of the settings with it.

Awesome lineup tonight Mr Moliter, UNREAL

[Han Joelo]

Barf.

[mrmpls]

Is there a spring training rule where ur line up should have ?? amount of regulars. Oh wait its only September here in Twinsville

[mrmpls]

C,mon fsn play the nothing falls but raindrops commercial, Hope the players werent getting a percentage based on how many times it plays

[Winston Smith]

Twins need a SS move Polanco to 2B.

Love our building block Grossman hitting cleanup. At least he got his ops out of the .600's this past week.

[mrmpls]

Like to see the twins help out Oakland, for the wild card home game,

Royce Lewis, never happen here, but you see other teams bringing up 19-20 year olds, Let him learn here

5 guys in this lineup are 50-50 to not be on the team in 2019.

 

If Falvey doesn’t like this, he needs to make his displeasure known by dismissing the individual responsible.

If he does, he needs to be canned.

[wavedog]

Looking at our lineup is a bit unsettling, but then we never beat the Yankees with our regular starting line-up so maybe this just might work.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

What's with all the complaining about the lineup.

 

Other than Kepler and Austin, everyone else is either hurt, traded, quit, or sent home.

could be six of the nine are ex-Twins next year.  Garver, Polanco and Cave will probably return.

[Squirrel]

Meanwhile, in Daytona Beach, the Miracle are up 8-5 over the Tortugas in the top of the 9th ...

[slash129]

Congrats, Miracle!

[Otto von Ballpark]

I noticed that Cave led tonight's Twins lineup with 10 HR for the season, while all 9 Yankees in their lineup have more HR than that (every guy has 11 or more). Albeit most of McCutchen's were with San Fran.

This belongs in the not-so-fun-with-numbers thread.

I thought Rosario was back.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I thought Rosario was back.

Maybe, but I also heard he's being eased back for precaution.

[Nine of twelve]

Now that was an interesting play.

Heh..  

 

It's been September all year with this team.

Me too.

 

My Yankee loathing needs to be sated.

 

I will settle for nothing less than a sweep.

 

On the other hand, it would be even sweeter if the A's come in to NYC and rub the Yankees nose in it right in front of their fans.
