Game Thread intro "Brutus" Twins vs Rangers 1:10pm edt 7/7/2019ad

[Mill1634]

BUXTON!!!!!!!! and Sano speed!!

[stringer bell]

C'mon Buck! On schedule, a three-base hit!

[mrtwinsfan]

measured 6.0 on the earthquake meter, Sanos slide

[IndianaTwin]

It sounded like we could have ended up with this...

 

 

[stringer bell]

Fun to watch Buck sliding into third at the same time Sanó is belly-flopping to the plate.

[Blake]

Buxton: "I'm heading to third!"

 

Sano: "Crap, I only have a 90' foot lead!'

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice job Byron Buxton!

[MVP Nick Punto]

Schoop has no plate discipline at all.

Maybe you need to teach him some discipline, then:

[glunn]

I am hoping that everyone is healthy by the time the All-Star break is over.

Maybe you need to teach him some discipline, then:

He swings at anything. None of the pitches at bat were strikes. I guess pitchers don't have to throw a strike when facing Schoop. He will get himself out. Sano has been selective at the plate lately. That's why he is having some success right now.

That's what the (loving <3 ) discipline is supposed to fix~

[Mill1634]

Smeltzer is very interesting to me as a bullpen option this year. I think long term he is a 4/5 starter, but I think he is a better left handed option out of the pen than Mejia. 

[Mill1634]

Wasn't Laudner hyping up Gallo's defense yesterday??

[Nine of twelve]

How many games has Gallo played in CF? (See yesterday's thread.)

[Nine of twelve]

Rangers may want to challenge the ruling that the run scored, if that is reviewable.

[Aggies7]

How to lose a game in two scenes starring the twins. Embarrassing

[Danchat]

We got a run, but I'm not a fan of getting an out at 3rd and home in the same inning.

[mrtwinsfan]

Any other runner gets hit in the back  with the ball , Byrons to quick, hell of a throw

[MVP Nick Punto]

That was a disappointing way for the inning to end. At least the run stood.

Edit: Oof, nevermind. That stings

[mrtwinsfan]

still 1-1

[MNT1996]

They didn't count the run? So we had runners on 2nd and 3rd no outs and didn't score? That's embarrassingly bad.

 

Terrible managing with sending Buxton to third

[FLTwinsGuy]

And we didnt even get the run...unbelievable. A hit scores buxton anyway so why try to tag up?

Unreal-   hustle Schoop, bad play all around

[glunn]

Run did not count 

[stringer bell]

I couldn't believe Schoop would advance 90 feet before Buxton. Not surprised at all. Poor baserunning by Buxton.

[drock2190]

Buxton ran the Twins out of that inning. Schoop isn't going to score any faster then Buxton can move up.

[HawksNest]

Brutal half inning there.  

 

2nd and 3rd, no one out....come up empty handed

[mrtwinsfan]

If i wasent watching what just happened,  would never believe that,  Crazy

Managing? He made that decision himself. 

[mrtwinsfan]

YA thats on B.B.
