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

[PDX Twin]

Looks like Jake is more odor than easy tonight.

[Aggies7]

Not an ideal start

[LVTwinsfan]

The Royals sure are intimidated by the Twins

[LVTwinsfan]

I thought Gibson pitched last night

[snotboogie]

Shift 1. Soler 0.

[David HK]

Just drenched on the motorbike on the way to work- peeled off the wet clothes, put on the dry emergency clothes (a truly eye-catching combo), and cranked up the mlbtv--

 

Gee, a hit with RISP.

 

Take a lesson, boys.

[PDX Twin]

Given the pitch count, maybe Jake is going to be the opener for Stewart tonight.

[wsnydes]

That was borderline clown showish...

[LVTwinsfan]

Wow

[Danchat]

The last thing this team needs is another crappy start. Please bounce back from this, Odorizzi!

[LVTwinsfan]

borderline? Downright Moe and Larry

[Aggies7]

Ugly ugly inning

[Aggies7]

What are the Indians doing? Sigh

 

Edit: they lost!

See, borderline! You didn't mention Curly!

 

Or Shemp...or even Joe!

They going to play this game under protest? The umps totally got that call wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised. But doesn't he have to announce the protest at the time of the play? Maybe that's what he was doing out there. But I remember in past situations that it was known almost immediately to the announcing team.

Rule book says the ball is live:  "Even though an out is called (for leaving baseline) the ball remains in play in regard to any other runner"

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!!

 Curly!

 

Without Jerome Howard the 3 Stooges would be a minor footnote. Curly was perhaps the most gifted comic actor in the history of film.

[David HK]

Man, I like this Arraez a lot.

 

Just seeing him in the box, the way he seems to recognize breaking stuff early, he looks comfortable up there.

Curly was awesome! You won't get an argument from me!

Just now commenting on the rundown: A better fielder (like every other player on our roster, for example) would not have attempted the throw that Astudillo tried to make. The third run may have scored anyway with the runner on second base but why make that throw when the runner had just been called out?

A guess: Astudillo missed the out call by the 3rd base ump.

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.

[David HK]

Good inning for Jake.

 

Too bad he decided to have his warm-up session on the mound instead of the bullpen, tho...

If you say so Mr. Fancypants rule expert!

AbBB.

 

Anybody But Bert.

 

Love the guy, but tired of his schtick.

[Doomtints]

 

Isn't actually like 141?
