Game Thread: Twins @ KC 5:15 PM PST (7:15 PM CDT) 06/20/2019

Chief household update: Earlier this afternoon, Mrs Chief met me at the front door wearing nothing but very sheer negligee. The trouble with that, of course, was she was just getting home from the night before.

I hope that you at least left the porch light on for her!

Just jumping into this thread, but........... seriously? The Twins have no one other than Jack Morris to do the color on these games? I’ve heard him call the Twins the Tigers at least 3 times! He is irritating to listen to.
I know your wife just had a baby, Justin Morneau, but get your butt back here!!

You could be listening to the Royals broadcast. They're the worst.*

Ever listen to the Anaheim crew? Eesh...

This lineup misses buxton more than we ever could have imagined, it seems

Minnesota pessimist in me says: This team may not make the playoffs...

Arraez is good, but what was cron doing?

[Danchat]

I like this Arraez kid! And I do wish we'd stop with the reckless baserunning with Cron - he ain't fast!

That would be every bit as bad and possibly worse than the ‘03 vikings

[ashbury]

Cron just took third on a single to left! Granted, he was off with the pitch. But, the man made it!

He's pretending to be Buxton because he knows that we all miss him.

[LaBombo]

nice hit, and a square covered for whoever had "Good piece of hitting" on their Cliche Bingo card...

The Minnesota Somnambulists

need to wake it up.

[PDX Twin]

At least we made Sparky throw some pitches that inning.

I laughed at the suggestion of a June swoon a few weeks ago

10-7 in June to date.

 

I do agree they haven't looked real good the past couple weeks.

It was so unlike him that I'm a little worried surveillance video will reveal that instead of covering the whole route he may have gotten a ride across the diamond, hidden behind the shortstop, and slipped back into the race right after the leaders passed.

Cave, Schoop and Sano are all automatic outs. Cave doesn't belong in the major league.

Better than I thought it was.

I have, but I can't recall my opinion!

 

(Who is your favorite? SF Giants and A's, for me).

[Danchat]

I'm not surprised regression is starting to come for Odorizzi... but in back-to-back starts against the Royals?!

[USAFChief]

Uh, it was a change up Jack. Normally Dick has trouble identifying pitches, but Jack Morris??

[LVTwinsfan]

Two game losing streaks aren’t so great when they only win one between losses

[Aggies7]

The royals are 25-49

[MNT1996]

This team is really slumping right now

[wsnydes]

Giants and Dodgers probably for me. I always like to tune into one of those on the way home after a Twins game.

[Aggies7]

Odorizzi’s body language stinks

I like the Mets broadcasters. They know the game, they're funny, and they have a good time in the booth.
