Game Thread "Bo" Twins vs. A's 6:10pm cdt 7/20/2019ad

[Mill1634]

I know this probably wouldn't be popular around here, but I would go to May for the 7th. Get him back on the bump. Only way to get confidence back is to go out there and throw.

Just curious...... how is talk about baseball, any baseball, regardless of how much it has been discussed, not appropriate for a game thread, but color of words and talk about shoes, is? 

There has been lots of talk about baseball,  pet topics are for other threads though. 

[PDX Twin]

California team vs. Minnesota team.

 

Berrios vs. Anderson.

 

Just doesn't seem like the matching between pitches and states you'd expect.

or conversely, if he craps the bed, it’s easier to take care of the 4th M

I agree. And I think it wouldn’t be unpopular.

Yeah last thread was about ketchup and mustard and hot dogs for 7 pages

 

Door isn't locked. 

[Danchat]

Boy, the Twins have been grounding into double plays left and right the past few weeks. It's getting real annoying!

[Riverbrian]

 

I am watching this through Gamecast yet praying that Baldelli brings in a reliever.

 

Do enough Sunday bake sales and those big screen monitors in the chapel are no longer a luxury. 

[tvagle]

That was some excellent discipline by Garver on that 3-0 pitch...Polanco is just off and missing pitches by inches

I'd like Duffey to go another inning.  

[Mill1634]

Jorge Polanco has a .644 OPS in the last 4 weeks...yikes. 

[PDX Twin]

 

Nice job, Mitch. Now let’s have an inning.

 

Well, technically it WAS an inning...

[tvagle]

 

Nice job, Mitch. Now let’s have an inning.

Best laid plans...

[bighat]

Polanco has been very average for about a month now.

 

Okay, we've been looking for a 7th inning stopper. Who's gonna get the job done?

[Don Walcott]

Polanco looks tired.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

for some reason I haven’t noticed many complaints about lack of contact or too many strike outs

[tvagle]

I beg to differ...some have been up the middle...a couple on Strike em out throw em out...maybe even one that went around the horn

[Danchat]

That's 5 innings of no-hit baseball from Brett Anderson since the 1st inning... not good, boys. We gotta find a spot to pinch hit Rosario to get us a boost!

[Don Walcott]

Smalley just referred to Berrios as our Ace. So that’s that. Now, who’s our Duece?

Looks like Duffey tonight, at least for starters. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Mill1634]

Royals up 1-0 over Cleveland after 7

The best way I can explain it

 

Arguments... Experience has taught us that these things lead to arguments. 

 

We'd like to keep the arguments over there. 

 

Right or Wrong... that's why.

I'm not gonna touch that one

[Mill1634]

Who buys tickets to a baseball game to go play cornhole?

Oh. I can see why talk about cats and such is for other threads.... 

[Don Walcott]

Chapman out on one pitch. See, Jose? It’s easy.

[jorgenswest]

Duffey has only pitched 4 innings with no rest. In those 4 innings he has given up half his runs on the season.

[tvagle]

The Francona-ization of Rocco has begun

[Mill1634]

Interesting going to Littell here...great boost of confidence in the young righty lately. He's here to stay for the rest of the year I think, or at least Rocco is using him like so. Let's hope he can get the job done. However, this almost confirms Rogers will be used for another 2 out save unless for some reason we decide to go to (gulp) Parker in the 8th.
