Game Thread: Twins vs. Royals, 8/3/19 @ 6:10pm CDT

Weird, Duluth is east of the Mississippi. Would expect it’s call letters to start with a “W”.

KDAL was probably grandfathered if it has been around longer than the Mississippi rule

[mrtwinsfan]

Cleveland up 5   already

[VATwinsFan]

9 pitches, 8 strikes, 3 outs = Good Gibson.

 

For now at least.

FWIW, I am a sci-fi junkie/nerd. Albeit, a very cool, handsome junkie/nerd. But Firefly was a tragedy! A TREMENDOUS 1yr, tragic wonder of a show that had the potential to be one of the best shows of it's genre in the history of TV!

 

But back to baseball.

Nelson Cruz is NOT HUMAN!

This is a game thread. Back to Firefly. I didn't see it during its first run, but I have caught some episodes and definitely see the appeal.

 

Oh wait... also:

 

CRUZ !!!!

[MNT1996]

The guy is unreal

Cruz-in

Been a weird season for Gibson. I don't want to make excuses, and it may be too late to do so, but his illness, losing so much weight and strength, missing so much of ST, I think he's just been out of Sync. We have still seen the GOOD Gibson many, many times. Thankfully, we have 2 more months for him to be his best self when it counts.

BOOMSTICK

 

RE-SIGN THAT MAN!!!

How many warning points did you mete out?

[VATwinsFan]

Just Cruzin' along.

 

Remarkable.

[DocBauer]

Cruz=Stud

[Darius]

This recent run by Cruz is unreal. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything like it.

[Blake]

Okay, good start Mr. Cruz and Twins.

[DocBauer]

How many split seconds involved before Cruz's option is picked up next season?

 

Allowing for a cough, actually grabbing the pen/mouse to sign or click, I'm putting over/under at 2.5 seconds.

10 homers in 15 games (2 of which were just pinch-hit appearances)? He is rather good, isn't he?

 

If I'm dreaming this, don't ever let me wake up.

[operation mindcrime]

That was crushed!

[bighat]

Soler just lit Gibby up, wow.

[ashbury]

And... a homer right back. C'mon now, Mr Gibson.

His slugging percentage over those 15 games is 1.000.

[bighat]

Schoop, my goodness. Rocco feels sorry for him so he puts him in the lineup - enough already, this guy's ship has sailed. He'd look good in a Blue Jays uniform playing out the end of the season after getting picked up off waivers.

[wabene]

Having lived in Duluth in the past I know that KDAL is at 610 AM there.

And on FM 103.9

[ashbury]

His slugging percentage over those 15 games is 1.000.

Yeah, but on a scale that goes up to 4.000. That's only 25%. Pfft.

[mrtwinsfan]

SChoop , nice throw

[Halsey Hall]

That's out of Duluth, I'm 60 miles up the road.

[wavedog]

Thanks Schoop!

Costly.

 

The error, I mean.

 

But I don't think the Jays would have a reason to pick up even the remainder of the contract, either. They'll just wait for him to pass waivers and be released, thus letting the Twins pay when they sign him to a minimum contract.

[ashbury]

Thanks Schoop!

I don't think you actually mean that.

 

Someone unable to watch the game and just following this thread will be confused.
