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

[notoriousgod71]

I will credit Astudillo for bringing energy to this team.

[MNT1996]

Schoop never delivers in the clutch

[PDX Twin]

Are we sure that Diaz didn't call time right before that pitch?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Yeah!

[ashbury]

Schoop never comes through.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Maybe Rocco needs to get himself tossed, just to wake his team up. Kind of like what Gardy would do from time to time.

[Nine of twelve]

 

If they did, I'd like to know what about their recent play they were basing it on.

An 8-2 road trip.

[VATwinsFan]

Run turtle, run!!!!

 

[LVTwinsfan]

Umpires who reward the pitcher for hitting where the catcher set up, rather than if the ball crosses the strike zone, irritate me no end.

this crew is a clown car

[LaBombo]

 

Diaz is really going out of his way to screw this game up for the Twins.

 

He was formerly an East German Olympic gymnastics judge.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

Patience grasshopper, patience.

[mrtwinsfan]

Schoopy yes

[Blake]

 

Play stops when the Indians make a booboo?

 

What's next? A do-over?

Turns out that it didn't matter anyway.

Run turtle, run!!!!

 

[AlwaysinModeration]

Let’s get this run across, boys.

Turtle would have a lot more oxygen in the dugout if he was at 2nd.

[PDX Twin]

Question: Does Pineda still count on the 40-man roster? Can we DFA him? Kiriloff hit another HR tonight and could be an awfully nice addition to this team.

[LVTwinsfan]

Perez balks on every pitch

[USAFChief]

Morneau: "That's a good AB right there."

 

Chief: "Plate appearance."

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

On the upside, Diaz is making Angel Hernandez look good.

I did not know Laz Diaz was this terrible. Simply, simply awful umpire!

[Blake]

 

Schoop never comes through.

Until he does.

[drock2190]

 

Until he does.

 

He didn't improve his RISP position though! Or high leverage!

Suspended players are not on the 40 man

Perez balks on every pitch

 

Twins are yelling from the dugout, hoping for a balk call from a guy who called Cron's strike three on a pitch where Perez was set up in St. Louis Park.

[USAFChief]

 

He didn't improve his RISP position though! Or high leverage!

Gotta be high leverage, no?

[PDX Twin]

Anybody you'd rather have up there than Garver?

[MNT1996]

[operation mindcrime]

GARVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
