Game Thread: Twins @ Oakland 7:07 PM PST (9:07 PM CST) 7/02/2019

[Danchat]

There we are, Castro, let's get that bat heated up again!

[David HK]

 

I think we're on different pages! I played for the college team. What organization did you play for?

Heh... not the college, just a town team for summer. They had 2 in Crookston, as I recall, and we'd go around to places like Argyle and Kennedy and such. And, of course, always to the Viking, where they had some DJ from the UK... how exotic.

Lead is down to two. I am hoping that the Twins win by 5 runs.

You probably had players on your team that I played with. Small world. I don't remember the Viking bar. Go Twins.

[MNT1996]

I think getting a starter at the trade deadline would be smart

[USAFChief]

Unbelievable throw.

 

On the other hand, I couldn't be more "meh" with Mejia.

[MMMordabito]

Couldn't leave well enough alone with that one good inning from Mejia.

[HawksNest]

 

"Hey, Comeback. I'd like you meet my friend, Itsnotoveryet."

 

Agreed!

 

More or less referring to Odo...

[operation mindcrime]

What an amazing throw!

[Aggies7]

Whoa marwin

[Aggies7]

Grossman is killing us

[MNT1996]

Of course we give it right back

[USAFChief]

Robbie Grossman and Chris Herrmann.

 

yeesh.

[jimbo92107]

Mejia does have whiffable stuff... Maybe he'll stay healthy for a while.

[MMMordabito]

Maybe Mejia can pitch bad enough to get DFA'd. Move the train wreck off the track.

Sigmund Freud recognized the use of cowbell as an existential cry for help. But interestingly, a cigar was just a cigar.

I don't see "whiffable" stuff. Never have.

 

Just a guy.

At this point if the Twins make the playoffs I wouldn't know who to put out there for the opening game. Odorizzi is trending downhill and Berrios doesn't really have "Ace" stuff. We need to get a dominant starter at the deadline.

Who?

[USAFChief]

Emerson: "This guy can't hurt you. Throw strikes. The next guy can."

[MNT1996]

 

Who?

 

Yeah I guess that's the problem. Our best starting pitching prospects are a year or 2 away from getting the call and the truly dominant pitchers are on contending teams.

[USAFChief]

Nice.

[operation mindcrime]

ARRAEZ!!!!!!!!!

I really hoped Washington went completely into the tank about a month ago. IMO they were about a bad week away from imploding, and blowing it up. Prolly not gonna happen now though.

 

Scherzer is the guy I wanted.

Is something wrong with Marwin's legs? He seemed be limping there, no?

There we go, Luis! Let's tie this one up, Sano!

Wasn't his recent IL stint due to hamstring issues?

Big toe.

[David HK]

 

Who?

No, he plays first.

 

 

[USAFChief]

 

No, he plays first.

What?
