Game Thread Twins vs. Tribe 7:10pm cdt 7/31/2020 ad

Delmon Young has the most RBIs as a Twins player in a season since 2010, at 112. I kinda forgot that he was basically Eddie Rosario but with terrible defense in his prime.

 

 

Wow. The things we forget.

I've heard AJ before, and he's fantastic.

 

Would be a great get as TV color guy.

We got what we needed from Dobnak, but it wasn't exactly pretty. Command wasn't what it normally was out of him, and saw a ton of foul balls. However, he went 5, didn't allow a runner to second base, and only walked one. Have to take that out of the 7th best starter on your roster. 

[Aggies7]

How smooth was that polanco play?

 

Also, almost 2 hours for 4.5 innings....maybe ALL games should be 7 innings long

[stringer bell]

Dobnak, Hill and Maeda show that there is more than one way to get batters out in the major leagues.

[mrtwinsfan]

Dobber nice job, take 5 and fly any game he pitches, 

[Shaitan]

 

Nice, quick inning there! Would like to see one of our starters go 6 innings soon.

 

With 30-man rosters + modern baseball? Ha! Impossible.

Dobnak with his best "good Sam Deduno" impersonation tonight.

[mrtwinsfan]

Jake Odorizzi,  any new News ?

[70charger]

Well that time the aggressive baserunning paid off.

[wabene]

Still in the 2nd so i just have one eye open but i have to say i was worried after last night but gol darn they are handing it to Wookinger

Dobnak is what I'd call a traditional workhorse type pitcher

Wookinger? Is that your way of saying you think he looks like a Wookie with his long locks?

[Aggies7]

Yes, excruciatingly slowly is one way

[Aggies7]

The music after every pitch....criminy

That's what I got from that. Hairy dude.

Speaking of Cleveland pitchers, what do you think Phil Maton's mom is planning for his 15th birthday?

[Squirrel]

It took me 3 hrs to get through the dmv line to get my license renewed ... and 2 of those hours were outside, down the sidewalk for two blocks

[Squirrel]

 

The music after every pitch....criminy

 

I wonder if the players have a say in this at all ... if they prefer having some noise, no noise or what?

[stringer bell]

Oof, should have at least gotten one run there.

[Aggies7]

I hope that doesn’t come back to bite us

[Squirrel]

 

That's what I got from that. Hairy dude.

I actually like his long hair ... but it needs a good brushing  

[bighat]

Brutal effort by the 5-6-7 batters there. Situational awareness ranking: zero.

[ashbury]

I've heard AJ before, and he's fantastic.

 

Would be a great get as TV color guy.

"When he's in the other team's broadcast booth, you hate him. When he's in your broadcast booth, you just hate him a little less."

 

[Squirrel]

oh boo

[wabene]

Wookinger? Is that your way of saying you think he looks like a Wookie with his long locks?

You definitely get me Ms Squirrel. I think both of these young pitchers could use a makeover but i do enjoy watching the Dobber pitch.

[Aggies7]

The good news is that there will be a vaccine by the time we get to the 9th inning

[USAFChief]

Leadoff walks. Oy.

[T_J]

Does anyone know if the starter still picks the uniform for the day?
