Game Thread: Twins vs Nationals, 9/11 @ 6:40 PM

[ashbury]

I don't remember a more confident looking second baseman than Jonathan Schoop.

 

/ ninja'd

[ashbury]

Approximately 8 more, unless they're leading by end of the top half of the ninth.

Maybe you'll beat me out for that FSN color commentary and analysis job.

Also, if you’re not in the Twin Cities, the air and sky have the feel it could start downpouring at any moment—though it’s been noted rain is actually not forecasted. Still feels like it might.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

As good as Arraez is with the bat, when he plays second, I really miss Schoop's fielding. Dude is slick and pretty much makes all the plays that are hit to him.

 

Agree

 

And that arm.

[Blake]

 

Unassailable logic.

 

[stringer bell]

Wade hasn't struck out yet. Will today be his first?

[FlauerPauer]

As good as a year that Adrianza is having for his role, batting him sixth is a sin.

[ashbury]

When I am not ninja’d ?

Didn't I just say that, earlier in this thread?

I've done it for high school basketball for a buddy once, lol

I find any work similar to that exhausting - what was your experience when you did that?

There it is. 

[ashbury]

Knock it off.

I doubt it. Face made for radio and a voice made for mime.

Marney with the bad news about Ryan Braun Christian Yelich. Quite the slip of tongue.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Schoop didn’t get the “work the count” memo.

It was fun. I really enjoyed it. Only thing that was really tough was getting the players names. Talking about the action and what was going on in the game was relatively simple as I coach and have played basketball pretty much my entire life. It was a little exhausting as you do need to have something to say pretty much at all times. I ran a radio show in college so being "on air" wasn't really too nerve wracking.

Eddie gives away a run.

Or three.

[FlauerPauer]

 

How I feel about Rosario the past three weeks.

never mind...

[FlauerPauer]

How good would Robbie Ray, Mike Minor, or Marcus Stroman look in the rotation right now?

[VATwinsFan]

Say good night, Dick.

It's the constant focus that I find wearing. Can't really do it. There are many reasons I would not make a good Official Scorer, but constant focus would likewise be #1 in that job too. "Wasn't watching" is a poor excuse.

 

So if you enjoyed it, why haven't you sought out amateur opportunities?

 

[ashbury]

Eddie gives away a run.

Worse than that.

 

Ugh, what a pivotal play. We need Buxton and Kepler.

[PDX Twin]

 

Say good night, Dick.

 

Good night, Dick.

[stringer bell]

Morneau wouldn't go to "should have had it". I will.

[VATwinsFan]

Might as well start parading all the call-ups out there and see what they can do.

[AlwaysinModeration]

That about answers the “I’d like to see Rosario in right” question, I’d say. That should be an error in Rosario. Really costly.

[stringer bell]

Annnnd the Angels leave the bases loaded in the bottom of the first.
