Game Thread: Twins vs. Oakland 5:10 PM PST (7:10 PM CDT) 7/18/20

[David HK]

I guess Eddie got the message.

 

What a heroic AB.

 

But that was set up by Sano taking that ball four. How many times have we seen him strike out on that pitch? That was key, and good on him.

[h2oface]

Such a showboat, that Rosario. 

[Squirrel]

 

Aggies....shhhhhh.....take your piece, and mine, and slip me mine.

Okay, now you ruined it for Aggies ... he doesn't get one, either.

I just had to press send on the “who saw miguel striking out” post I typed out

Cake doesn’t go well with a huge wad of dip. Just kidding, I’m downing some homebrews tonight

[Riverbrian]

 

What a joy to watch Arraez hit. I think he'll hit for power eventually. He squares it up so well, he just needs to learn to let fly.

 

He's 22... I didn't start hitting the ball out of the park until I was 47. 

 

Of course he will.

That's okay ... Chief ruined it for you so you aren't getting a piece of cake, either.

[SwainZag]

Taylor for 6 outs? Let's get er done.

Hey—no Sumerian math in the game threads!

Good. All the more for me!

What happened faster:

 

Rosario hitting that Bomba?

 

or

 

The "Cleveland will be in 1st by end of series" crowd posting "I knew we'd turn it around"?

[Bandit34]

We don't need Arraez to hit homers. We've got plenty of homerun hitters as it is. We desperately need the Will Clark types in our lineup. With Polanco and Arraez setting up the table, Rosario can drive them in. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Is that in Summarian?

 

Prime Number Cake is what I call it. 

[IndianaTwin]

I listen to many more games on the radio than I get to see on TV. Isn’t the general opinion that Smalley isn’t very good? If that’s the case, PLEASE send him over to the radio and let him take Gladden’s spot. I’d take that trade any day.

In Summer-contrarian that's exactly how long it takes to lose an 11.5 game lead

When you're going down for the count, the only intelligent thing to do is try to take someone with you.

 

Challenge...accepted.

Post of the night at this point. It'll be hard to top

[Aggies7]

You can’t expect Taylor to give you 2 innings every time we can possibly win. It just won’t work long haul

Okay ... I want to see this ... I want to see you take Aggies down.

I don’t mind gladden but he does stumble and bumble a lot. Cory is the real deal Holyfield

[Mill1634]

Everytime Rocco throws Rogers for a 2 inning save he is BEGGING the FO to make a move, and make it now.

[Aggies7]

If this goes south, we know who to blame.

Chief and Aggies in funkytown???

 

Okay, this I GOTTA see!

[Aggies7]

Hmmmm

It's a tradition like no other...plus I learned it from Carole

I rank Smalley a lot higher than most. I certainly think he's better than Gladden.

uh...he ain't gettin' no cake, so I think I already did.

[Bandit34]

With Cleveland having never lost since the Bubonic Plague, I would say that these next 6 outs are crucial!
