Game Thread: Twins vs Cleveland 5:10 PM PST (7:10 PM CDT) 9/6/2019

Wade now has four career runs scored and still zero career hits.  Wonder what the record is for something like that to begin a career.   

A chap named Herb Washington played for Oakland 1974-5. Scored 33 runs in his career. Never had a plate appearance. I'd start with him.

Twins having trouble pushing across runs lately. Lots of GIDPs and some not-so-heads up baserunning. Seven hits and just up by 1 measely run, c'mon dudes.

[bighat]

 

 

I would have Cruz get some ice on it and take the rest of the night off.

 

He might take the rest of the series off, I can't imagine the Twins would want to play him at all if this issue is anywhere close to serious.

[Don Walcott]

Let’s take care of business for one more inning, Big Mike!

[Blake]

 

Hamstring for Cave?

(I know better than to offer two alternative explanations.)

Yeah, and way to jinx things by not sticking with TD tradition.

That's actually pretty cool.

[Don Walcott]

Nice start.

That's the kind of useless information about baseball I didn't know but obviously need to know.

 

Will file that next to Germany Schaefer.

[Don Walcott]

Nice. One more.

[hybridbear]

The Cruz pain is concerning. Cave too since he’s been playing well. How does Wade compare to the other OF on defense? He’s looked fast in the limited plays I’ve seen him make this year. How’s his bat?

[Don Walcott]

Great job, Big Mike!! That was a tough 6 innings. 107 pitches.

[MNT1996]

It's definitely not a debate any more in my opinion. Pineda is the ace of this staff.

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice  night Pineada,,  now wake up the sticks  another 2-1  game 

[bighat]

Big. Mike. Pineda.

 

Money!

Wade is very good in the field and gives us good ABs. Doesn’t make up for losing Cave, who has been really good in all facets lately. But we’re lucky to have good depth at the position.

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Big Mike!!!!!!

[mrtwinsfan]

With cave maybe out,  will we EVER see byron again,  Getting old with him,

He’s been in ... played last night as a defensive replacement. He just is having difficulties batting due to recovery from his shoulder dislocation.

[Squirrel]

I really hope we re-sign Pineda.

If I'm teaching a full semester Baseball 101, Germany and Herb are both on the final exam.

[MNT1996]

I know it could be a long shot, but I wonder what the chances of Kirilloff joining the squad is after Pensacola is done with their playoffs. Lots of bench guys day-to-day right now and Twins could open a spot if they put Nick Gordon on the 60 day IL

[Don Walcott]

Keep bringing it, Trevor!

[Don Walcott]

Bremergasm on strike 2.

He should just smash it against the wall like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon!

[ashbury]

Keep bringing it, Trevor!

Morneau is talking about Trevor May gaining confidence, and feeling like he belongs, as though he's a rookie. The kid turns 30 later this month.

[mrtwinsfan]

Another Nightly Nailbiter,,   to old for this , walk # 9  for lindor May ??

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Cmon Lurch!

[operation mindcrime]

Who's this You Rang guy from Cleveland?

Young guy, from where I sit.

[Don Walcott]

May!!
