Game Thread: Twins vs Indians 8/10/19 6:10 CDT

[TwinsCD]

These walks by Odorizzi have been annoying but fortunately, he's been able to escape both.

[drock2190]

Whew. Thought for sure Lindor was going to put the Indians on the board.

 

He's hitting .191 with RISP. He must be talking to Schoop.

Just checked in to the game- 2nd inning- is Jake over 50 pitches yet?

38

[David HK]

Hey, Garver's in the game! 

 

So, maybe we don't need to put his picture on milk cartons just yet...

38 pitches after 2? He's rolling.

Don't really believe in "must-win" games, especially during a 162 game baseball season.

 

But, contradictions aside, today feels like a must-win.

Oh hey. You're so right about that.

 

Lose tonight and what stops us from being swept?

[Riverbrian]

A win on Sunday?

Carnac, the Magnificent: "Chance of a shower around 9."

Ed McMahon: Chance of a shower around 9? In Los Angeles?

Carnac: I am not aware of a location. Just the answer. "Chance of a shower around 9".

Ed: Be that as it may, your Magnificence.
Carnac: It is always around 9, somewhere in the world, after all

Ed: I thought your saying was that it's always 5 somewhere.

Carnac: <double take> Hey. Stick to the cue cards.

Ed: <squints> "You. Are. Most. Wise."

Carnac: May the fleas of a thousand agave plants bite you in your tequila sunrise.

Ed: Perhaps we should move on to the question inside the hermetically sealed envelope?

Carnac: Perhaps.

Ed: The answer being, "Chance of a shower around 9."

Carnac: <opens, blows, removes card> "What did the Twins manager tell his starting pitcher to expect, just before a cloudless 8:10 pm start?"

 

Carnac: <opens, blows, removes card> "What does Mrs. Riverbrian say every morning from inside the bathroom to a pacing Riverbrian outside the bathroom". 

[MNT1996]

The number of walks given up by the Twins this series has been ridiculous

Carnac: <opens, blows, removes card> "What does Mrs. Riverbrian say every morning from inside the bathroom to a pacing Riverbrian outside the bathroom". 

Keeping her other thoughts to herself, apparently.

[operation mindcrime]

That was a big strikeout!!!

[David HK]

Jake- the walks, we gotta talk about the walks.

 

Slo-mo car crash any moment now.

 

 

[adjacent]

Man, the Indians right now are the kings of BABIP

[Riverbrian]

 

Keeping her other thoughts to herself, apparently.

 

Yeah

 

"I own the bathroom for these 6 hours every morning".

 

"If you also want to get ready for work, get up at 2AM". 

 

 

 

 

[Riverbrian]

 

There’s still a chance of a shower around 9, but the odds are going down.

 

It's 8:53

 

Got that one wrong. 

[bighat]

Just checking the score quick, seems like every inning this whole series, Cleveland has a man or men on base. Lots of pressure on the Twins pitching from the Indians. Relentless.

[operation mindcrime]

Huge strikeout!!!!!!

Yeah Jake has been playing with fire these first couple innings. Hasn't gotten burned yet thankfully.

[MMMordabito]

Jake- the walks, we gotta talk about the walks.

 

Slo-mo car crash any moment now.

 

In a vacuum, I didn't hate the walk to Kipnis, but, yeah, it's ridiculous this series.

[twinsnorth49]

Jake needs to start making some pitches when he doesn't have to.....

[Riverbrian]

I'm thinking the Orioles will come back and beat the Astros tonight. 

[twinsnorth49]

 

I'm thinking the Orioles will come back and beat the Astros tonight. 

I'm thinking you're high.

[ashbury]

Yeah

 

"I own the bathroom for these 6 hours every morning".

 

"If you also want to get ready for work, get up at 2AM". 

Also, "the sink porcelain is white, your whiskers aren't, are you BLIND?"

[Riverbrian]

 

I'm thinking you're high.

 

22 runs in the bottom of the 9th?

 

You gotta believe in your team. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Also, "the sink porcelain is white, your whiskers aren't, are you BLIND?"

 

At least your wife let's you in to shave!!!

[Riverbrian]

 

Also, "the sink porcelain is white, your whiskers aren't, are you BLIND?"

 

Our bathroom sink porcelain is blue. 

 

It does a great job hiding the toothpaste. 

 

And my blue whiskers.  

[TwinsCD]

LET'S GO BATS!!

[twinsnorth49]

 

22 runs in the bottom of the 9th?

 

You gotta believe in your team. 

If I'm still watching my team down 22 runs in the 9th...………..I'm probably senile and don't realise it. 

[twinsnorth49]

Fire that groundskeeper. 

[Riverbrian]

That foul ball was on the grounds crew.
