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

[Nine of twelve]

Two well-struck balls. Let's have another.

[Don Walcott]

Nice job, Rosie!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

indeed, but not a H&R. The batter could also take the pitch for ball four. On a H&R, the hitter doesn't have the option, he's expected to put the ball in play.

Putting a runner in motion on 3-2 isn't referred to as a H&R.

Fair enough.

 

Sano was put in motion, so he had a head start goin' for 3rd.

 

But, well, um, hitting and running were both present.

 

Sorry, what i miss?

 

We got us another run?

Gordon fails to rob a Twin of a hit? I'll have to remember that one.

Technically he didn't rob us of a hit but he did rob two bases of a home run.

[USAFChief]

I want a review.

ok

My review.

[USAFChief]

Big run.

[operation mindcrime]

EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stringer bell]

Nice to get an extra run and especially off Holland.

[operation mindcrime]

Sit down Whitney!!!!!

[operation mindcrime]

ROMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[USAFChief]

Let's hang a 4 spot here and save Rogers for game 2.

[USAFChief]

ROMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

felt like he put every pitch exactly where he wanted.

[Mill1634]

Wonder if Romo gets the 7th? Didn't throw many pitches, and the first 3 hitters up are righties. Saves May and Rogers for the 2nd game?

Big run.

Concur!

 

Cruz' run is as big as Sano's run.

My review.

Thanks. Your check is in the mail, but I can't guarantee that it will be processed in time for it to be cashed.

Meant to ask...

 

Does game length affect starter requirements to earn a win?

 

 

[Nine of twelve]

Dick said Sano swung through the breaking ball. A common expression but inaccurate. He swung around it or past it. Had he swung through it he would have hit it.

[Danchat]

 

Meant to ask...

 

Does game length affect starter requirements to earn a win?

Dick said that the starter still needs to go 5 innings to qualify for a win.

[Mill1634]

I'm taking a guess to see how close to the lineup in game 2 I can get:

 

C Garver

SS Polanco

DH Cruz

LF Rosario

1B Sano

RF Kepler

CF Cave

2B Vargas

3B Adrianza

Earlier in the game Dick said the starter still needs to go 5 to get the win. A little unfair because the manager will handle the bullpen differently in a shorter game.

[USAFChief]

Avila goes yard here.

It gets late early?

[Nine of twelve]

 

Avila goes yard here.

Maybe this yard.
