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

It seems like every other game there is a bad send call at 3rd base

[FLTwinsGuy]

Absolutely ridiculous..Cron might be the slowest dude in baseball

[obtusebanter]

Y'know ... I'd have liked to see Kep get a chance to swing the bat with the bases loaded. Just saying.

[twinsnorth49]

How on earth does Diaz send Cron with Kepler up and Plutko getting pounded?

 

Ugh, that could be costly. 

[David HK]

Why, oh why, oh why do we send M-1 tanks like Cron in those situations?

 

We've got Max coming up, potentially with bases loaded and the pitcher on the ropes- probably a Loogy coming in, but Max has been tattooing lefties this year.

 

What in the living blankety blank?

[LVTwinsfan]

I don’t know, you get Indians nemesis Kepler on deck and about a 90 percent chance that Puig throws Cron out there, but teams usually send runners with two outs. Should have held him up I think

Twins definitely need to look elsewhere for a 3rd base coach next year

[David HK]

Not sure I agree with you 100% on your 3rd-base coaching there, Tony.

 

[ashbury]

It's not even worth commenting on Adrianza anymore. 

And yet, with the posting count up by one, and another Like registered.

How bout tonight!!!!!

[ashbury]

Somebody isn't very familiar with Puig's arm............or Cron's speed. 

With two outs, there's an argument for sending ... and then, the answer needs to be, No. Because, Cron.

 

How many times has Cron been thrown out at home this season? He must lead the team. He has deceptive speed - he's even slower than he looks.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Big run sitting out there, keep it from scoring

[IndianaTwin]

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

 

You get Aaron Sanchez 23 runs and he’s tough to beat!

Cron is like my wife.

 

Always at least 5 minutes late getting home. 

[wabene]

Paisan!!

[twinsnorth49]

Nice sequence Jake!

[LVTwinsfan]

Katnis strikes out

[Riverbrian]

This time... Let's start the inning with it. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Jake comes out for the sixth

The argument isn't sending a runner with 2 outs. The argument is sending Cron, with the ball in Puig's hand, with 2 outs. 

[Riverbrian]

KEPLER!!!

[wabene]

Yeah baby!

[LVTwinsfan]

Grand slam

[twinsnorth49]

Should have been a GS!!!

 

Thanks Tony....

[SwainZag]

Wooo!!!

[David HK]

Hm.

 

Kep hit a dinger.

 

A solo dinger.

 

Hm.

[Riverbrian]

HOLY ****!!!

 

This ****ing thing works!!! 

[LVTwinsfan]

Should have been a GS!!!

[yarnivek1972]

Just doing a little scoreboard watching.

 

 

Reds beat the Cubbies 10-1.

 

 

But wait, there’s more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Angels beat Red sox 12-4.

 

 

 

 

 

Last, and least, the Astros narrowly defeated the Orioles 23-2.

[MNT1996]
