Game Thread: Oakland A's @ Twins, 7:10 p.m.CDT

[Don Walcott]

Hip, hip!

[ashbury]

Polanco breaks up the no-no, nice and early!

[yarnivek1972]

Jake making sure he does his usual 5 innings tonight.....

 

That might be optimistic.

[ashbury]

Next week is going to be upper 70s, low 80s, sunny skies and low humidity.

By next week we'll all be dead from this, making it moot.

[FLTwinsGuy]

On the brightside, Cleveland is up 5-2 in the 4th....

[Riverbrian]

 

Mayonnaise, Deli ham and Tomato sandwich.

 

Just got back from dinner with my wife and youngest son. 

 

Prime Rib... I finished my plate... I won't be moving much while watching the game tonight. 

[ashbury]

Hip, hip!

JORGE!

[Don Walcott]

You shouldn't "Pick Up" tofu with out special gloves and a hazmat suit.

I’m with you on that. Some apples get snapped up and flown far, far away from the tree.

If you are not a meteorologist... I will believe you. 

[yarnivek1972]

Walk Cruz to get to a guy who hit a 3 run HR in his last AB. Good strategy.

[Don Walcott]

Come on, Nelson!! You need to drive in runs, not walk! Are trying to be Mauer?

[ashbury]

Prime Rib... I finished my plate...

Pro-tip: you're supposed to stop eating when you reach Ceramic.

Well, ultimately he wants to be in the movies.

[ashbury]

Come on, Nelson!! You need to drive in runs, not walk! Are trying to be Mauer?

IALTO.

[twinsnorth49]

Right where we want em.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

If you are not a meteorologist... I will believe you.

 

Weather forecasters are always right... aren’t they?

[twinsnorth49]

 

Weather forecasters are always right... aren’t they?

Only when it rains. 

[ashbury]

Both pitchers with elevated pitch counts after one inning. Could get deep into both bullpens.

Pro-tip: you're supposed to stop eating when you reach Ceramic.

 

What if they're paper, Mr. Fancy Pants?

[Don Walcott]

Nice grab, Jake!!

[twinsnorth49]

Has Hermann spent a lot of time in Virginia since he left the Twins?

[Riverbrian]

 

Weather forecasters are always right... aren’t they?

 

They will tell stubbornly tell you that they are. 

 

I know a few of them. 

 

This might shock you but I tend to tease a bit. I say things like "Is there a certain percentage of correct forecasts you must get correct before they stop you from forecasting? 30% or something? 

 

Well, It turns out they've heard these type of comments before and have lost a significant portion of their sense of humor on the subject. 

 

 

[Riverbrian]

 

What if they're paper, Mr. Fancy Pants?

 

The prime rib was so good that I didn't even notice if it was served on a plate. 

 

Now I'm wondering. 

[tvagle]

Two pitches...two outs...ball,ball,ball,ball

What's an inning without a runner

[ashbury]

What if they're paper, Mr. Fancy Pants?

Not a problem. My doctor wants me to get more fiber anyway.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Two pitches...two outs...ball,ball,ball,ball

What's an inning without a runner

A relaxing one. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

C’mon Odo. Get this guy & not too late to call this a “quick inning.”

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Hip, hip!

Jorge!

[tvagle]

 

What if they're paper, Mr. Fancy Pants?

 

Where can I get paper Rib Eye?...why I'd want it I'm not certain

[Don Walcott]

Jake needed to slow down this inning after the first two outs, and soak up some of this humidity.
