Game Thread: Twins @ A's, 7/4 @ 3:07pm CT

[yarnivek1972]

Sano’s UZR/150 was in positive territory about 10 days ago. That would seem to indicate that as of late he’s been pretty bad.

[MNT1996]

Another impatient at-bat

[Squirrel]

I like a Schoop now and then. Sometimes even two with a sugar cone.

And I just had a Schoop of Graeter’s salted caramel chocolate chip.

If I got two schoops on a sugar cone, at least half of it would end up on the sidewalk.  Some of us just aren't fluent in ice-cream-cone-ese

[Squirrel]

Okay, Kep ... I want fireworks!

[Squirrel]

The A’s TV crew is pretty tolerable

[Mill1634]

Buxton needs to be more aggressive on the bases. PLEASE steal

Got your wish ... sorta ... probably. The A’s tv crew say he’s safe.

[MNT1996]

Offense showing has been terrible again. This team needs the break.

[Squirrel]

So what commercial you all got playing who have the Twins feed?

Yeah, they look tired. Unfortunately they have a ways to go. Hoping the ASB recharges then.

[Squirrel]

C’mon, José! Let’s go, let’s go!

[Squirrel]

Toss him, toss him!

[Squirrel]

Hmmm, tough pitch, good call.

Never heard of Graeter's. Is that local? I'm be in Minnesota 15th to the 20th of this month. I'll look for it. Got Twins tickets for the 19th.

I’m in Chicago. Not sure how local. Maybe?

[howeda7]

Grossman and Herrmann killing us again. Of course.

[Squirrel]

Ugh ... should he have gotten that?

[Squirrel]

Grossman and Herrmann killing us again. Of course.

Why does that happen?

[Squirrel]

Okay, Graeter’s ice cream is regional ... out of Cincinnati ... anyone else heard of them?

 

I still miss Sebastian Joe’s, though.

[PDX Twin]

At least Cruz won't have to steal second this time.

[Squirrel]

Nelson Cruz ... A’s announcers ... ‘continues to age like a fine wine.’

[howeda7]

Pathetic offense against this stuff.

[Mill1634]

EHIRE!!!!!!!!!

[PDX Twin]

I don't think anything in my cellar will be good as age --> 40, but then I probably won't be around to find out...

[MNT1996]

Great job offense. Your first earned run through 5 innings against a guy with a 6 ERA.

I think they're winning though......no?

[Squirrel]

I almost made a comment in my game thread opener about the Twins tendencies to make rookie/struggling pitchers look like the next Cy Young candidate, but decided not to jinx it.

 

Maybe we’ll get to the A’s BP.

[Squirrel]

I think they're winning though......no?

So far ... but I want fireworks!

[MNT1996]

Yes, but the offense has still been pretty stale against a well below average pitcher.
