Game Thread: Twins @ KC, 5:15 PM PST (7:15 PM CDT) 9/27/2019

Another good scoring chance wasted. First and second, nobody out, can’t afford to—

 

 

ah who am I foolin

[Brian450]

Meanwhile, the Yankees have hit two solo home runs to tie us up at 301 apiece...  They're up against Palumbo on a hot night in Texas, so it may not be the end of it...

[Don Walcott]

I wonder who is the largest leadoff hitter in Twins history?

[Nine of twelve]

I dare Dozier to swing at the first pitch.

[insagt1]

He's pitching...and KC hits the first pitch for a single.

While its good to see Cron playing, he basically is only hitting ground balls now. And not to be too critical, but he was just jogging to first...and that has nothing to do with his thumb.

[Brian450]

Ryan LaMarre doing his best Delmon Young impersonation out there...

[Squirrel]

I'm just putting this up here because ... it just cracks me up ... favorite bit of footage from clinch night:

 

[insagt1]

Rosario misplays a routine fly ball and KC has a cheap run so far.

Anyone surprised that NY already has 2 HR's? They may get 6 before the night is over.

 

This inning should have been over...one hit allowed and no runs. Tough break for Berrios. Rosario owes him one.

I got LaMarre on the misplay...

I got LaMarre on the misplay...

Yeah ... I was leaning that way, too

 

[Squirrel]

Bomba!

[Don Walcott]

There’s a Bomba!!

[Brian450]

Sano takes care of the home run lead ;-)...

Yeah, given where the Yankees are playing this final weekend, they will likely hold the record by the end of the weekend.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present the 2020 American League Most Valuable Player: from the Minnesota Twins, Miguel Sano.

A little late with that kapow, but I was up celebrating last night and pretty sluggish in the dugout today

[insagt1]

Sano puts us 1 HR up on the Yanks again.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Mas Bombas!

The guys in the booth are blaming Rosario for the misplay. What I saw was him chasing the ball, then pulling up, and then it dropped. Didn't see where LaMarre was in the play. Was it his ball?

That was full speed , he is stuck in cement

Yes

[insagt1]

This has been kinda sloppy tonite. But more important, they need to get 5 innings in. Berrios is sort of 'off' tonite. Not horrible, but also not sharp.

 

Nice recovery though to get out of the inning.

[70charger]

 

Mas Bombas!

 

¡Más bombas de las que puedes sacudir un palo!

[big dog]

Lets finish five innings fast please.

[insagt1]

2 weak AB's so far by the Turtle. But there....a solid single for Cron!

[Squirrel]

Bomba!

[Don Walcott]

Lamarre Bomba!!?!?!

[Blake]

LaMarre, extends the Bomba lead.

 

As expected.
