Game Thread "Mike" Twins vs Red Sox 7:10 pm cdt 6/19/2019 ad

Aggressive base-running can be a Cron-ic problem.

It's not the first time he's been waved home to his doom, either.

[FLTwinsGuy]

****ing hell Gibson

[LaBombo]

 

Unproductive pop-up off the bat of Kepler. Trade him now!

 

Let's wait until his value rebounds with another GWRBI in the ninth.

 

Or the 17th. Whatever.

Winston Churchill was (among probably others) reputed to say, "a fanatic is a person who won't change his mind and can't change the subject."

 

It's also mentioned in the TD Comment Policy among the examples of trolling, for what that's worth, hint hint.

 

Trolling? I legitimately dislike a player that's playing in the game that this thread is about. How is that trolling?

 

Are only positive opinions allowed now?

[jorgenswest]

If they have any kind of middle infield defense at all this inning is very different. I don’t know if I have ever seen a more limited infield pairing for the Twins.

[VATwinsFan]

I hope someone is keeping track of how many times a shift works vs how many it doesn't.

[LaBombo]

 

Drink every time Dick says "17 innings."

 

[Tomj14]

the last time the Twins needed Gibson to go a bunch of innings, he crapped the bed to the Tigers. 30 pitches so far and no outs in the second and two runs, good luck getting out of the 5th, hopefully Poppen is real fresh.

[VATwinsFan]

3 outs on 9 pitches. Good Gibson this evening?

Never mind.

[jud6312]

Man, step away to yell at my neighbors hitting their panic button 3 times every night and letting it go for 5 minutes, and come back to bases loaded.

 

Aside from Poppen, who do we think is available tonight?

Was just thinking the same thing. We may see Poppen before too long here.

[LVTwinsfan]

Turn two and get out of here

[jud6312]

I guess they're not playing for the double play here.

[twinssporto]

I want this game to go 20 innings...Assuming Gibby can pull a rabbit out of his hat this inning.  Let's stay up til 3AM!

[Darius]

When you can’t bear down and get freaking Brock Holt and Bradley Jr. out when you’re fresh in the second inning....it’s over.

[operation mindcrime]

God we need a double play!!!!!

So is he just gonna walk to the mound like regular relievers, or....

 

 

 

[FLTwinsGuy]

Nothing going right this inning

[LVTwinsfan]

At least the bullpen is rested

[Darius]

God we need a double play!!!!!

God’s a Red Sox fan.

[LVTwinsfan]

Gibson pitching like #2

[jud6312]

I wonder if Red Sox fans are as ready to DFA J.D. as Twins fans are of Sano.

[LaBombo]

He's missing out of the zone while trying to hit the inner and outer edge of the plate.

 

Next is missing right down the middle.

Nobody's a Red Sox fan.

[70charger]

All in all, that could have been a lot worse. 

[MMMordabito]

Wow ... That could have been way worse

Definitions of trolling and related behaviors are loose, but the above link mentions specifically

• inserting a pet idea into thread after thread
• casting in a negative light everything someone says and does

The opinion is fine. Your suggestion that you plan to keep harping on Astudillo drew my eye.

That's fine, I'll just be a good little soldier and not voice opinions.

yes.
