WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Danchat]

Remember when people said that Garver would never be able to replicate his numbers at AAA in 2016 when he hit .928 OPS with 17 HRs?

 

Garver was hitting .999 OPS before that HR and now has a total of 17 HRs... in 175 less plate appearances!!

[Nine of twelve]

Wow. The boys are looking like the Twins of old. Like 2 months ago.

 But my home computer for reasons unknown won't let me sign in

 

Yeah the AI Revolution is clearly on our doorstep.

*bonus "Bo knows" points to anyone who knows where i stole that without internet searching...

I was young as well, but I recall sneakers, guessing Nike

[twinsnorth49]

I think those last 3 hits were a combined 600mph.

Catchable by Gold Glove 1st baseman

 

/edit or any 1st baseman for that matter

Touche!

Lo Bomba was a good opening song...nicely done Sample!

Sano's really clicking at the plate, it's just too bad that he's one of the league's worst defensive 3B. The dude's getting on base at a super high clip the past few weeks but I cringe whenever a ball is hit to 3B and he's fielding.

[Blake]

For an inning that started badly, it certainly turned into a good first inning.

Why? Sure he is below average, but not as bad as you think. His arm saves a lot of plays, and that error to start off the game wasn't on him. 

[tvagle]

Dish & Sling sounds like a great name for the 2 new relievers the Twins pick up

[Danchat]

Since Sano's 0 for 7 game on June 27th, his line is: .327/.441/.673 (1.114 OPS), 59 PAs, 17 Ks, 10 BBs

 

And that's why you don't give up on a guy when he was going through that cold stretch.

Only watch him bat, problem solved.

Sling has to be a left hander. 

[Nine of twelve]

Well played by Schoop.

[Mill1634]

What a weird double play

[twinsnorth49]

Great play by Schoop. 

[twinsnorth49]

Moar Bombas!!

[Blake]

Great play by Schoop.

 

And the pitch count is back to manageable. 

[tvagle]

Minor note

Lachlan Wells 5 IP 15 Batters Faced...1 single given up (erased by DP)

[twinsnorth49]

 

Sling has to be a left hander. 

 

Or on the IR.

[Riverbrian]

 

What a weird double play

 

Well done on both sides. 

 

Grossman attempted stopped to avoid a tag. Schoop didn't fall for it.

 

Cron made a nice throw. 

 

Professional Baseball. You gotta love it. 

[wabene]

I think Schoop would've had that one Arraez couldn't get to the other night.

Fun to watch

Bo knows

 

 

The cameo by #99 is my favorite part of this.

I was right!
