Game Thread: Twins vs Mets, 7/16/19, 7:10 PM CT

Twins drill like five balls against crap pitchers: out

 

Rosario dribbles a ball right down the middle against a good pitcher: safe

[Aggies7]

I’m making a call here

[Brock Beauchamp]

I"m going to make the same comment I make several times a year:

 

In an age when front offices are talking almost a completely different game than what existed 30 years ago, why do announcers continue to EVER use the phrase "at-bat" when referencing a player total?

[Aggies7]

I’m making a call here

For pizza, I meant.

[operation mindcrime]

For pizza, I meant.

For the win!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Ooh, Magill for Parker!

Ugh. As much as I blast Sano, that PA was bull****. Miguel held fast with borderline pitches and had them called against him (one wildly out of the zone, the other borderline at best).

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Finally, Arraez gets into the game?

[operation mindcrime]

I'm making a call here! Arraez goes yard!!!

[MMMordabito]

Not to be flippant or negative, but it's funny how these things work themselves out

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn, this kid is a ****ing gamer.

[operation mindcrime]

Place Schoop on the 60 day IL!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That pinch hit situation is about as close to Pipp-Gehrig as you can get

[Brock Beauchamp]

HE ****ING WALKED THAT'S AMAZING

[jz7233]

Great AB by Arraez.

[MMMordabito]

That guy needs to be in there every game

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Garver!!!!

[John Kelsey]

Here we go. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Place Schoop on the 60 day IL!

Lets all pretend there was no injury, and Baldelli just decided to send in Arraez to pinch hit in that spot!

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Marwin!!!

[Aggies7]

Woohooo now 1-8 with RISP, but no ribbie still

[glunn]

That was fortunate.

[Brock Beauchamp]

No matter what happens, this is fun.

[Aggies7]

Bum-bas, can’t get a big hit to save their lives

[John Kelsey]

That was ball 4. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Bah, well, it was a good time.

[mrtwinsfan]

Yup Ball 4 mr. cruz

[Danchat]

The streak of RISP-lessness continues. Ugh. The pitching has done most everything they've needed to win games recently, but the hitters...

[rickybeathard]

That Arraez walk was probably the most entertaining walk I have seen all year. Too bad Cruz swung at that last ball. Ugh. Brutal way to lose. 

[Aggies7]

Yes there was bad luck, but overall this was another poor performance against a bad team. Now 9-8 since June 1 against sub .500 teams. Better wake up fast fellas
