Game Thread Royals @ Twins 6/15/19 6:10 PM CDT

[LaBombo]

Nice job by Odo to get a K for the first out with 2 on. But he's gonna need over a hundred pitches to get through six at this rate.

Joe is in the radio booth. Talking about Sept. 30, he said that while Hrbek is regularly around the park, he is rarely down in the clubhouse. When Joe went back to the clubhouse to put on the catcher's equipment, the first person he saw was Hrbek, who was uncharacteristically in the hallway. When Hrbek asked what he was doing and Joe said he was going to put on the gear, they were able to share tears.

WOO-wha? Thrown out with time to make tea.

[Blake]

Any chance the Twins can get Bench to do the color?

Meanwhile.... Sparkman only 36 pitches after 3. What was Schoop thinking?

[LaBombo]

There's aggressive two-out baserunning, and there's

Speaking of Seattle, Encarnacion to the Yankees.

They offered him a glove to hold the mic but he barehanded it instead.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Just think if there'd been a man on base for kæpler

[operation mindcrime]

MAD MAX KEPLER!!!!!!!!

[IndianaTwin]

Bench on the radio, joking about exit velocity and launch angle: "People ask me about my exit velocity and launch angle. I would just say, 'If it went over the fence, it had enough exit velocity and launch angle."

He's been fun on the radio as well!

Can they keep Johnny Bench in the booth and send Gladden to get coffee? Just kidding Gladden would probably be terrible at that too.

[h2oface]

Twins have back to back PED perpetrators hitting 2 and 3.

It was SO much better on the road trip when Gladden was on vacation and Provus and Atteberry were together.

Speaking of New Orleans, Anthony Davis to the Lakers! Go Timberwolves!!!

Odor missing a lot of his targets.... all high. Living up in the zone can be halting.
