Game Thread 8/23: Minnesota Twins (18-10) @ Kansas City Royals (11-16) 1:05pmCT

Sano!!!! So hot right now! 

[FlauerPauer]

Eddie!!!!

[Danchat]

 

Concur. I don’t think any trades besides DFA player dumps will happen in baseball.

The Phillies just recently traded for Brandon Workman and Heath Hembree for a couple of young pitchers, though I do agree in that I don't think we will see many big trades.

[notoriousgod71]

I like all the bunting we're doing. Far more exciting than 300 bombs a season.

[Danchat]

Now this is more like it! Keep the hits coming!

[FlauerPauer]

MARWINNNNNN!!!!!

[FlauerPauer]

And all of a sudden, Sano is batting .235 with a .850 ops... no big deal.

[MNT1996]

Now that Sano is heating up I think some scrutiny should be put on Kepler. Guys at the top of the order should be hitting better than .223

[Danchat]

Of course the game is 4-2 again... seems like we keep seeing that score in Royals-Twins games.

[FlauerPauer]

Smeltzer sucks.... next! Done with this guy. He's turrible.

[MNT1996]

Smeltzer shouldn't be on the big league roster

[Aggies7]

How many **** bullpen games have we had in a month of play? So tired of seeing it. Smeltzer ain’t it

[Danchat]

Another bad call, that was certainly not strike 3. This poor umping is getting old.

[FlauerPauer]

BOOOBBBBB ITCH!!!!!

You would think there'd be a backup plan for Bailey going down....

 

 

Now, I will say, I don't think the boys have lost too many of the bullpen games, but it definitely dicks the pen for the next couple of days.

[LVTwinsfan]

That’s not a catch

[Diesel]

Sano gotta get out of the way there

[FlauerPauer]

Can Sano get a bigger necklace? 

[Aggies7]

Can Sano get a bigger necklace?

 

I think he took it from the outfield gate

[LVTwinsfan]

There are no fans, Sano crashed into Dobnak yesterday too. what’s going on here

[FlauerPauer]

Different dialects?

[Diesel]

Vargas saved a run there (for now)

[Aggies7]

Are you kidding? Can we just be done with the royals already

[LVTwinsfan]

Different dialects?

sure... I guess Vargas was yelling you got it

[FlauerPauer]

Smeltzer is going to lose this game for the Twins. #FreeDuran!!!

[Nine of twelve]

 

If you could trade Buxton for Merrifield one for one today, would you do it?

The Royals would make that trade in a heartbeat.

[FlauerPauer]

 

sure... I guess Vargas was yelling you got it

 

Lo tienes!!!!

[FlauerPauer]

Eddie: Hit Machine today

[LVTwinsfan]

If you could trade Buxton for Merrifield one for one today, would you do it?

Thats not even a serious offer, the Twins would laugh that off

[FlauerPauer]

You're right. An all-star who leads the league in hits and a .300 hitter for a guy who sits on the IL.... Twins would say no. 

 

Gotta go ahead and say the Royals would say no...
