Another one at 482 feet?

 

Maybe the altitude.

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jz7233]

Now 3 more to go hopefully!

[twinsnorth49]

Down 0-2................he's just a different hitter now. Unreal, 

 

SANO!!!!!!

I think we've seen what the narrative is.

 

Agreed

Sano one of these years will clear the third deck,  anyone remember Thomes  h.r.  guy next to me at the concession stand  3rd deck  got that ball, 

[gocgo]

So, Indians have Philly at home who still have a faint glimmer of hope for the wildcard...very faint, the White Sox on the road who are not good, but have a good core of talent, and finish at Washington who really needs to play well to hang on to the wildcard.  That last series is the most interesting one in baseball to me.  Two teams that need to win to get in...playoff baseball a few days early.

Did everybody put their hair out yet?

[jz7233]

 

Eddie Rosario’s statcast sprint speed has gone from the 87th percentile to the 57th. Maybe he’s just not fast anymore?

Maybe Rosario needs to retire soon or just becomes a full-time DH somewhere else.

[70charger]

430 feet?

 

That seems ...low

 

[tvagle]

 

Another one at 482 feet?

I think they need a new laser ruler...the one they have only goes to 482

[VATwinsFan]

 

Did everybody put their hair out yet?

Only some of itl

[FlauerPauer]

Big inning for Thorpe. Get the boys back up to bat quickly.

[insagt1]

I couldn't get to the keyboard in time to say 'in my head I saw Sano circling the bases'. BTW...THAT was a very good AB for him. With 2 strikes he didn't sucker for those low outside pitches...then he fouled off a couple to stay alive before depositing one in Wyoming somewhere.

 

So Gibson will not get charged with an 'L' in his final Twins appearance. Rocco has to perhaps reconsider his pitching choices now. Does he trust Thorpe with the lead?

[twinsnorth49]

Nice job fellas.

[notoriousgod71]

That half inning will keep the wolves (me) at bay for a couple minutes.

[insagt1]

 

 

SEASON OVER. I'M GOING TO SET MYSELF ON FIRE.

laughed myself off the chair on that one.

[twinsnorth49]

 

5-0 Cleveland.

4-3 Twins

[VATwinsFan]

I still find it amazing LaMarre is the starting CF.

 

Oh well.

[notoriousgod71]

 

 

Seriously how ****ing bad is Detroit? Like, can’t even win a measly game against Cleveland ? I hope gardy is canned the second the last out is made

 

Watch them steal a couple from the Fightin' Roccos.

[operation mindcrime]

430 feet?

 

That seems ...low

 

Highway to the Danger Zone!

[twinsnorth49]

Why are you throwing that on 0-2? He should be out though, thanks ump. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Gotta have a short leash with Thorpe, we got the lead now if ya didnt know  rocco,  Gotta think tonight only right now,  gonna be a tough week pitching wise, Pull him -  think tonight only!!!!!

[insagt1]

AFter that rally we needed a shutdown inning.......sigh

[FlauerPauer]

Quick! Get Thorpe a Foster's! 

[gocgo]

And here we go on the roller coaster ride.

[tvagle]

With the homers settling things down here's an uplifting report from Cleveland

 

Edwin Jackson coming in to shut down the Indians in the 5th

[bighat]

Yeesh, not what we needed Thorpe.

 

These game threads seem to be constant back-and-forths between YEAH OFFENSE and BOOO PITCHING.
