Oh, and me being accused of being from the NE and being a Yankee fan since I still miss the Twins pinstripe uniforms. Lol!

[Riverbrian]

 

Nope. Born and raised South Dakota and Nebraska! 

 

The only way this can happen is exactly on the state line. And therefore in the middle of a pasture of some sort.

Miguel Sano 2019: 31 PA, 5 HR, 5 BB, 11 K. In the other 10 PA he has two hits, both doubles. So, his BABIP is .200. Maybe it will get better...

Perhaps he was an unusually large newborn

Nothing wrong with being birthed in a pasture you nazi.

Monitored tonight's game but arriving late. Let me see if I got this straight:

 

Berrios being human, but settling in and betting a feel for his stuff. Twins playing great defense and mashing.

 

Is that about right?

All except for the great defense in the second inning.

 

I think Berrios had a step forward kind of game. He should be lights out in his next start.

 

And mashing . . . yes!!

For some reason, HRs don't count as balls in play.

Well that escalated quickly!

Der Schlagger update: 18.10 percent of all homers hit by players born in Germany.

 

And with career No. 67, now within three of Glenn Hubbard for No. 2 on the all-time list.

[Joe A. Preusser]

Well that escalated quickly!

I do everything quickly....

 

 

 

Just ask my wife...

Thank you for the awesomest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

 

Where can I get a framed copy of this? There is a Pastor down the street who would appreciate a copy of this more than you’ll ever know.

My theory... the FO realized that Mauer condititioned all of MLB that we would take the 1st pitch... and so they threw easy ones... now... revenge.

I'll take quotes I don't expect to read in a game thread for 400, Alex.

Yeah, she mentioned that..

Hmmm...born in Aberdeen, lived my first year on a small farmstead where my mother once dropped me, bundled up during a blizzard escape to the family farm, (which explains a lot!), and have had some interesting events in a pasture in my grown up life. Any of that count?

Well played, Mauer.

[Don Walcott]

Ahhh , the White Sox.

Very much so.

To count... You'll need some digits.

Had a grandfather who fought them, so I'll take it! Lol

[Joe A. Preusser]

Yeah, she mentioned that..

Ask her where my clean socks are please.

[Joe A. Preusser]

Not me. My grandfather fought in the Phillopenes. I am told he was heard muttering over my bassinet....JAP...when I came home from the hospital. True story

[twinsnorth49]

Maybe you need to get out more.

[DocBauer]

ah...the long con.

 

Well played, Mauer.

Still earning his contract post retirement! (Little tongue-in-cheek there)

I guess they could be wearing wool pajamas and it wouldn't matter. (I do like the old 60s style uni's).

Whenever someone in the stands gets a baseball... when the camera pans over to show the lucky person holding the game ball... everybody around them is smiling and laughing. 

 

Unless they get hit in the head. 

[IndianaTwin]

 

Agreed... You go to Wrigley just to go to Wrigley and everyone should go at least once. Once you've done it, you don't need to return... 

 

 

 

That's probably the best description Wrigley I've heard.

 

The thought of going to Wrigley always sounds good. And then I think a little more and decide to pass.

 

[twinsnorth49]

Ask her where my clean socks are please.

Umm, on my feet of course.

They get hit in the head after the guy is holding the ball??
