Game Thread Twins @ Rangers 8/16/19 7:10 PM CDT

[Nine of twelve]

I noticed right away what Dick pointed out. The RF did not budge from his position on Kepler's blast.

[SwainZag]

When the Twins hit homers I think, yes.

[Diesel]

Nice hit Gonzalez....stay at first next time. Yeesh.

He did.... thank goodness

[VATwinsFan]

Yankees up 3-2, bottom of 7th, bases loaded, no outs.

[yarnivek1972]

I would think the last thing a guy playing in Texas would want is a long beard.

 

Unless he’s in a rock band, of course.

 

ZZZZZZZ

[ashbury]

Whole lot of pitching. Not a lot of offense.

 

So far.

 

Pretty good reverse-jinx, if I do say so myself.

[bighat]

 

Yankees up 3-2, bottom of 7th, bases loaded, no outs.

 

And they blew the opportunity, didn't score, still 3-2 going to the 8th.

[VATwinsFan]

And the Yankees didn't score.

[bighat]

Couple hard-hit balls this inning off Odorizzi, in a bit of a jam here.

[stringer bell]

Yankees squander, Rangers with a threat.

[yarnivek1972]

70 pitches. 10 outs.

[yarnivek1972]

70 pitches. 10 outs.

And apparently Richard is reading TD during the broadcast.

[PDX Twin]

Jake should get out Odor-easy. Or maybe not ...

[stringer bell]

Good work with Mazara, then a wild pitch. I think Garver should have caught it, although it was very high.

[bighat]

Odorizzi was almost out of it there. Awful wild pitch there. Twins give one back, just like Texas gave them a run earlier. Even steven I guess.

[ashbury]

That's gotta be a passed ball on Garver, right? TV was saying WP?

[stringer bell]

Well, the difference right now is that unearned run. Lately, if the difference is an unearned run, it's bad news for the Twins.

[PDX Twin]

 

70 pitches. 10 outs.

 

That's who Odorizzi is. Can't we just get used to the fact that he will rarely if ever make it into the 7th inning? We have a rested bullpen with Monday and Tuesday off.

[ashbury]

Ehire! Let's add some runs.

[Don Walcott]

Ehire!! Stay hot, bro!

[IndianaTwin]

 

What's a Kiner-Falefa?

 

The Friday special at Ralph's Egyptian restaurant? 

[Don Walcott]

Oh, what the hell.

[PDX Twin]

 

Ehire!! Stay hot, bro!

 

Not quite that hot, please.

[Don Walcott]

Why do we keep running Ehire as if he’s fast?

[bighat]

Which team has made more outs on the bases so far this series? Both teams seem to just run into outs constantly.

 

Richard says that it appears Arraez missed the hit and run sign there.

[ashbury]

Welp, if we had added some runs, Ehire wasn't going to contribute.

[bighat]

 

 

Why do we keep running Ehire as if he’s fast?

 

Apparently a hit-and-run was on, Arraez missed the sign. At least that's what it looked like in the Twins dugout.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

What's a Kiner-Falefa?

i’ll take obscure Asian cuisine for a thousand Alex

[Don Walcott]

Odo has one more inning here. Don’t give them anything!

[Squirrel]

 

You're going to do the wave? Huh.

 

edit: ninja'd. I should, you know, read the thread....

Well ... don't feel bad ... I was going to do that now ... as I'm just getting to this.
