Game Thread: Twins vs. KC @ 5:10 PM PST (7:10 PM CDT) 06/14/2019

Keller looks about done. I hope they bring him out for the 8th.

[ashbury]

Google Translate confirms my suspicion: "Schoop" is Dutch for "rally killer".

[Hornhead]

GB DPs on JM night.  If they really want to honor him, they should be grounding to 2B.

[jz7233]

Schoop is doing his usual GIDPs. He has never been clutch. I would not want to see him in Twins uniform next season.

<standing and clapping while Gibby leaves the field>

[Danchat]

Alright, Gibby! Let's get a complete game from you! There's no better way to hide the bullpen than to not even need it.

[Nine of twelve]

7-pitch inning for Gibson. He's got the 9th.

 

Edit: 8-pitch.

[LVTwinsfan]

Need to leave Gibson in , we’ll lose if they don’t

[notoriousgod71]

88 pitches through 8. Gotta think Rocco is itchin to get into his vaunted bullpen.

yeah, Joe sucked

When Sano hits the brakes on a wide turn at second, is there anyone else who could swear they hear the screech of locked up locomotive wheels trying to stop a train?

 

I hear a Jake Brake on a downhill grade.

Yeah, thinking about the bullpen gives me an itchy rash too.

[Darius]

Gibby is phenomenal.

[LVTwinsfan]

Polanco needs to decide if he’s gonna bunt before he steps into the box

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Up to date? Pffffft. Zombie Apocalypse is so 2012

Dare i expose my uncultured ignorance an ask what reference is?

Moved on to the 'Packs of Killer Robotic Dogs' Apocalypse, have we?

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kepler walks... the walk?

[D. Hocking]

This is a statement that arguably deserved an all-caps treatment.

I think it was 2012 that somebody told me a zombie apocalypse joke.

[Nine of twelve]

This is what contact-to-pitch looks like when it's done properly.

You don't remember? The zombie apocalypse!?

 

It was like the biggest story of 2012, man. Do not have Twitter?

[LaBombo]

 

...and Schoop grounds into the exact same double play as he did the last time up. Ugh!

 

Consistency....

[Diesel]

Dare i expose my uncultured ignorance an ask what reference is?

Zombieland, a movie from 10 years ago. Bill Murray's cameo is incredible. Also: #GarvSauce

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Got here just in time for the Garv Sauce!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Moved on to the 'Packs of Killer Robotic Dogs' Apocalypse, have we?

 

But they seemed so well behaved...

[Danchat]

There's your BOMBA!!!!!!!!!

[FLTwinsGuy]

This man better be an All Star!!

[70charger]

Bombas!

[LVTwinsfan]

I still think Gibson should start the ninth
