Game Thread "Godot" Twins @ Rangers 2:05pm cdt 8/18/2019

[MVP Nick Punto]

Check the TD constitution, please. American Lit and Agronomy were added to Math as in appropriate subjects.

-1 for Agronomy.

[USAFChief]

We're dividing how high one of our hit balls went.

Ouch.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Ouch.

Chief, please, this is a family site, as I am so often reminded.

Another questionable singer for God Bless America

This version of GBA: I'm using the word interminable for the second time in this game thread. Horrible.

I think that the goal there was to make our pitcher nauseous.

You are being charitable.

I'm sitting in a bar in Superior right now, and a gentleman to my left saluted (sitting down) during GBA and then applauded afterward. I'm getting mixed reviews.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Good lord, it’s only the 7th?

[glunn]

Is Kepler injured?

[FlauerPauer]

****!

[FLTwinsGuy]

Yeah, our bullpen continues to stink

This game is going to be tough. A 4 game sweep is one of the rarest things in baseball. 

[ashbury]

Boo, Dyson. What the heck?

Though, the odds go up significantly when you win the first three.

[MVP Nick Punto]

No, no, Dysons suck.

nothing "questionable" about it.

 

Downright awful.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Alright Sam, lets settle down and get out of this

[Bandit34]

Did not feel like Martin Perez deserved the win today anyways. Slightly decent performance. 

[Don Walcott]

however, current Ranger Danny Santana and former Twin Danny Santana share the same parents.

Pretty sure that’s the same Danny Santana who played with the Twins.

[glunn]

 

Boo, Dyson. What the heck?

The pitch had some movement, but bad location.

[Nine of twelve]

 

Boo, Dyson. What the heck?

He's angling to pick up a win after we score in the top of the 8th. Unless the scorer has another off-the-wall moment.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Good Stab there Cron

[USAFChief]

Another throw in the dirt from Polanco. Dont think they can keep him at SS long term.

[glunn]

Twins have only 4 hits. Need more than that.

[Bandit34]

I wonder if I'm the only one who feels like there have been more throwaways on pickoff attempts this year than in the last 25 years of my watching baseball combined? I see it almost on a daily basis around the league and especially with the Twins. NEVER ever used to see it. It was quite a rare thing actually. 

[ashbury]

nothing "questionable" about it.

 

Downright awful.

I tuned in just in time for it. Daughter and her boyfriend, not particularly interested in the game, took note of the rendition and were snarking freely. The singer was not in usual good form, I'm sure

[PDX Twin]

 

No, no, Dysons suck.

 

And they don't sweep.

[Bandit34]

And here comes another rant of mine: I wonder if I am the only one who has noticed a hit off a 0 and 2 or 1 and 2 pitch more often this year than in the last 25 years combined?
