Boqueton?

Ton of flowers?

[LVTwinsfan]

Even in today’s sabermetrics led game I can’t see any reason for Arraez not to lead off. I’ve seen him draw too many long productive at bats. He legitimately gives you a chance to put the starter in a big hole in the first inning. That’s a leadoff hitter.

Kepler has also been good in the lead off spot, and I have no problem with Arraez in the fifth or sixth spot as he frequently comes up with key 2 out hits with runners on base......and you can’t beat those lead off home runs Edited August 24, 2019 by LVTwinsfan

2 MORE GAMES WITH THESE UNIFORMS,  Gotta say to me they r the ugliest i have ever seen , any others ???   like or not ?

I strongly agree but I just can't click like because I don't want to communicate any liking of the unis.

The red top home uniforms were pretty bad. The comment was it made them look like Dairy Queen employees. I think that was circa 1998.

The red jerseys the Twins wear look fine. But the Twins should not wear red jerseys. They just don't look like the Twins wearing red.

These Twins uniforms need to be burned with fire and the earth salted where they were torched, lest they rise up from the ground and haunt us again.

My wife: "What!? They are wearing these uniforms again tonight?"

Me: "Yep. All weekend."

Wife: "I thought it was only last night. They are awful."

Me: (Tacit agreement.)

 

We can only hope this players' weekend weird uniform nonsense will run its course soon.

A 2-3-3 inning.

 

I'll take it.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Riverbrian]

KEPLER!!!

[Nine of twelve]

Noch ein dinger!

[Danchat]

Thanks for the cookie, Edwin!

 

Kepler should probably be in the #2 or #4 spot at this point, with Arraez ahead of him.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

KEPLER!!!

I didn't quite catch that...

 

Whadja say?

[Riverbrian]

 

SSOO, thanks for the list of ideas! 

 

You've now given me something to inflict on, I mean, use in game threads.

 

All 10 of those rejected ideas should be un-rejected immediately 

[yarnivek1972]

I really don’t know what the Tigers were thinking giving a 33 year an 8 year contract extension. Detroit still owes Miguel Cabrera over $ 130 mil over the next 4 years, including an $ 8 mil buyout for him to not play in 2023. Talk about a crippling contract.

I stand corrected.

 

But who would let me write 10 game thread intros?

[yarnivek1972]

KEPLER!!!

Why is yours so much bigger than mine?

[Riverbrian]

 

running a gauntlet is fine, as long as you don't do it with scissors..

 

If it's a traditional gauntlet... You'll need the scissors to defend yourself.

Agree.

I get asked that a lot.

Polanco could also lead off.

Dinner calls...

Buxton may be back next week.. How many games does he play before he crashes full speed into a wall again and goes back on the IL

Game 7 of the World Series, after catching the final out.

That would probably beat his old record by well over 200

He typically gets hurt in hundreds of other ways before he gets hurt hitting a wall. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Ahh, the ol’ fly ball out to pitcher!

I may have some issues with the way Mr. Gibson pitches at times, but that man sure can field his position.
