Game Thread: Twins @ Detroit 4:10 PM PST (6:10 PM CST) 6/7/2019

Good job Garver!!!!!

[ashbury]

And now we see why Mr. Buxton has so few steals. Why wait to go to second. 

The Official Scorer needs a Buxton option to mark a single-and-steal.

[LaBombo]

 

The guy on first? He gets a close up view, yes.

 

The Doppler shift of the cleat noise and the pull of the vacuum he leaves in his wake are the other big giveaways.

[operation mindcrime]

It's nice to see Marwin having a great game offensively. He's looking like he'll be worth the investment after a pretty bad April.

 

Now, who pitches the 9th?

Sano!

[MNT1996]

Man Cruz just missed that hanger

[ashbury]

Only Buxton could have thrown Buxton out on that fly ball.

He has to WANT to, though.

[mrtwinsfan]

whos getting the 9th ?

[diehardtwinsfan]

 

Checked out a streaming site to see what the Tigers TV guys would say about Buxton's double. Turns out Jack Morris is doing tonight's game for them.

Traitor!

[Shaitan]

 

whos getting the 9th ?

Another hit and I'm not sure it matters.

[operation mindcrime]

Good eye Cruz!!!

It was my understanding there would be no Physics.

[Nine of twelve]

 

If Parker's going out there Twins need at least 4 more runs here

 

 

Well there's one of 'em.

I'm hoping the conditions are met to allow Parker to pitch.

[mrtwinsfan]

Eddies due!

[Danchat]

 

Sano!

Well, he has already had Tommy John surgery, so he's just like most pitching prospects already.

[mrtwinsfan]

Or not !

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

 

I am bad at following things apparently.

[Nine of twelve]

 

Traitor!

Me or Jack?

I know, I know...yes.

[MNT1996]

Intentional Walk to Marwin? That's bold.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

I just tuned in. Baseball is such a weird game.

 

Gonzalez 4/4, but with 0 runs scored. Arguably the best individual performance but...barely affecting the overall score (1 RBI, I see).

until now

[IndianaTwin]

 

All 30? Wow!

 

Plus 13 that are closed.

 

Early on, I was fortunate enough to get to some of the tougher ones on my employer's dime when I had work conferences to attend. Then, 15 years ago this spring, my wife didn't nip the idea in the bud when I figured out that my 11-year-old son and I could go to Cleveland-Philadelphia-Mets-Off day-Red Sox-Expos-Blue Jays-Tigers on consecutive nights. (Then we stopped back home to pick up my wife and other son and went to Twins-Royals-Cardinals, though those were all repeats for me.) Along the way, we managed to also hit four Halls of Fame -- football, baseball, basketball, and hockey -- plus the really outstanding Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City.

 

Once I got through that trip, I only had another 10 or so left, so I planned some strategic vacations. I finished off the Dodgers-Angels-Padres trio over spring break a couple years ago. 

 

SunTrust in Atlanta is the only one that opened after I had gotten to all 30, but I was able to get back there as well.  

 

What may be more impressive is that my wife has been to 23 of the current parks as well (I think). 

 

A couple years ago, I offered my one-paragraph summaries here:

[operation mindcrime]

Let's get these insurance runs!!!

[mrtwinsfan]

Hit a g.s. so mcgill can pitch

[John Kelsey]

Man, this Gonzalez guy is useless!

[70charger]

That was a bad at-bat. I think he psyched himself out there.

[ashbury]

until now

He's batting .800 tonight. But it's an EMPTY .800.

That one's on me.

[MNT1996]

Not sure I trust Parker with anything less than a 5 run lead but here we go!

[LaBombo]

Not to belabor the failure to sign Kimbrel, ...oh, the hell with it, one more belabor:

 

 

Late and close with Kimbrel:

 

 

 

 

Late and close without Kimbrel:

Not sure I trust Parker with anything less than a 5 run lead but here we go!

Gotta keep the fans at the ballpark!
