GAMES THREAD 8/15/2020: Minnesota Twins vs. Kansas City Royals 12:35 CDT

[bighat]

Now Rogers back in a jam.

 

Hasn't been sharp lately.

[USAFChief]

Rogers hasnt exactly been dominating, has he?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Don't whew just yet.

Pretty sure he's just keeping in practice, so he's ready when it's really needed.

[USAFChief]

winnah

[bighat]

Wow what a gift on that strike 3 call.

 

We'll take it!

[Nine of twelve]

Win, win, chicken din!

[Mill1634]

TWINS WIN!!!

 

I actually don't mind the 7 inning double header, but it doesn't make every inning feel like it matters more. I thought I would hate it, but so far don't. Hope Berrios has his good stuff today and is able to work 5 or 6 innings.

 

 

Until 30 minutes from now,

 

Go Twins!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Game ends on a called 3rd strike.

 

6 and half innings down...

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! See ya all in 30 minutes!

ok

"Nine of twelve is a long time TD game thread contributor with a fine sense of humor and well established baseball knowledge. He has overcome familial disadvantage and embarrassment to establish a long history of solid contribution."

I love weekend doubleheaders. In fact, why do they stop playing baseball? 

[whosafraidofluigirussolo]

Has there been an explanation of why, when Adrianza's been starting this year, he's tended to play 3B while Marwin plays 2B?

[bighat]

Berrios' curve looking nasty today.

[Nine of twelve]

Could we get a big head cutout of Bob Uecker and put it in the top row of the upper deck somewhere? In time for the Brewers' visit here this coming week?

[MNT1996]

I used to look forward to Berrios' starts. Not so much any more.

Might not make it out of the first.

He just doesn't have command.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Ah shucks.

 

Berrios has this!

[MNT1996]

Looks like a Smeltzer game

[Mill1634]

Well that was far from a pretty scoreless inning

[Nine of twelve]

 

It just feels like so much WORK.....

WAY too much work.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Ah shucks.

 

Berrios has this!
