Game Thread: Twins @ Chicago White Sox 7:10 PM 7/26/19

[Don Walcott]

Buxton gets that.

[tvagle]

 

Oh, so that's why we like Buck in center, how many other CF have to dive to make that catch and how many don't even come close

Yes?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

If you didn't it would be except-able.

Whatever table it is, i appreciate your table manners.

[Riverbrian]

 

I thought this was officially a thing 3-4 games ago?

 

Apparently word travels slow to North Dakota.

tough to make it there through the breeze

Don't I know it. 

 

Windy City Chicago? I don't think so.

You all should look into this inter webs thing. You know, the one with the emails?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yes...if that's a suburban Ohio city

Could be...

 

I also drove through Mexico, ME in May, so it might be there too...

[tvagle]

How far has Lurch fallen...Aussie Thorpedo and scrap-heap Indyball dude get the call before he does?

[tvagle]

I must have missed the LoTR chapter that mentioned Mexico Middle Earth?

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

I'm still not sure. I think we should have a really long look at him, say starting second base, over the next 3 years. Then, we can make solid determination based on an extended data set.

I think Arraez is two things:

 

1. The proof is in the pudding applies to prospects far more than we want to admit. Going from a stat line, there was NO evidence Arraez is the player he is today.

 

2. The front office isn't getting enough credit for jumping Arraez up the line and promoting him ahead of other guys that easily could have filled in for a week (which was Arraez' initial callup expectation), yet they went with Luis. Given what we see now, it's likely they saw something there and kudos to them for that.

If you hit a Sano-sized pop-up on the right day I could catch it

[operation mindcrime]

That was hilarious!!!!!

[Riverbrian]

That Pop Up would have been caught by the LF in North Dakota.

 

Windy City... I don't think so.

Where?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I must have missed the LoTR chapter that mentioned Mexico Middle Earth?

I think it is only in the extended movie version. And it looks suspciously like New Zealand.

[Riverbrian]

 

Where?

 

Dang it!

[Brock Beauchamp]

I'm really disappointed that it appears the Twins will not beat the Sox by seven runs tonight.

 

It's kind of a thing they do.

[Nine of twelve]

 

Where?

 

 

Dang it!

Saw that one coming a mile away.

[Mill1634]

Interesting May isn't being used here. Hasn't thrown since 49 pitches against Oakland

[Riverbrian]

 

Where?

 

I had lunch with Carole once in Chicago. 

 

She says to me... Look your shoes are untied. 

 

I look down and she had tied them to the table leg. Then she left me there. 

 

I always fall for that bit.

I'm pretty sure that Brian is just humoring me at this point, pretending he clicked it. It's kinda our thing now.

Huh? There's still the ninth inning. Don't give up so easily.

[Blake]

 

Where?

I give up.

 

I'll play with it later.
