Game Thread: Twins vs. Tampa Bay 6/26/19 @ 7:10pm CST

Okay Twins, leadoff man on. Let's bring 'em home.

[twinssporto]

 

Honest question here. Is Meadows wearing his oven mitt for diving back to 1st base only? If he was to take a head first slide into 2nd wouldn't he want to use his left hand or would he slide into the home plate side of 2nd?

He uses it for grilling hot food too.

 

Can you tell the game thread opening author is back in the game?

[USAFChief]

Atta Choi!

[Danchat]

This has been a very embarrassing inning for the Rays so far.

[snotboogie]

 

Anyways. Maaaaaayyyyyy!

 

[operation mindcrime]

Bert: "That'll be an error charged to Chow".

[Aggies7]

Awful, unproductive at bat by schoop. Just awful

[operation mindcrime]

Atta Choi!

For the win!

[USAFChief]

STUPID ******* sac bunt attempts.

 

Waste of an inning.

[bighat]

Nice AB Schoop.

 

When's the last time that dude walked? Or even took a pitch?

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

So Eddie is day to day. How many do we have that are day to day to day to day to day?

Day to day? Did Bremer give an update?

[Darius]

Why don’t people hate Schoop as much as they hate Sano?

 

I swear, that guy has K’d in every AB with RISP this year.

[USAFChief]

 

Nice AB Schoop.

The stupid ******* strike 1 strike 2 squaring away is the cause of that stupid unproductive AB. 

 

Did I mention stupid?

[Aggies7]

They’re giving us this inning

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I feel like Marnie is almost a clone of Dick in style, description, and mannerism. That being said I like Dick. Don't take the last phrase ot of context. Also, Dick called games the last time we won a world series. I remember his calls that year, and I'm not ready to give up that history and nostalgia yet...

 

Also, can Marnie pitch at all?

I laughed so hard

[ScrapTheNickname]

Twins need to win this one for the 5 Gippers who are out injured.

[snotboogie]

Did we just find our lead off hitter?

 

[operation mindcrime]

ARRAEZ!!!!!

[USAFChief]

15 K's in 70 PAs with RISP this year (.773 OPS)

 

You can look this stuff up.

UGH

[USAFChief]

Simply have to put the ball in the OF there, Jorge.

He almost did

Sano's been much worse overall - but I was thinking that if it weren't for Sano, we'd be way more angry at Schoop. Not good in big moments at the plate.

Can you look up what the Twins are with the bases loaded this season to either confirm or defuse my bias that they SUCK with them loaded?
