twinssporto Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Good afternoon and welcome to more Twins Daily Game Thread action! I had a whole different introduction planned for tonight but guess what? My plans changed. They changed for the better...my vendor came in from out of town and invited me to play golf today. Teeing off in 1 hour! Can't say I play golf very well but I like the free drinks that will come with it today! It's 90+ degrees in Minneapolis today so I'll probably drop a few pounds too. Seems like a win, win proposition to me. Now a win, win, win proposition would be the Twins putting (no golf pun intended) a thumping on the Indians tonight. Tonights Lineups: Twins:1. Max Kepler (RF)2. Jorge Polanco (SS)3. Nelson Cruz (DH)4. Eddie Rosario (LF)5. M. Gonzalez (3B)6.Luis Arraez (2B)7. Miguel Sano (1B)8. Lamonte Wade (CF)9. Alex Avila ©SP Jose Berrios Indians:1. C. Hernandez (2B)2. Jose Ramirez (3B)3. F. Lindor (SS)4. C. Santana (1B)5. F. Reyes (DH)6. Tyler Naquin (RF)7. Greg Allen (LF)8. R. Perez ©9. D. DeShields (CF)SP Mike Clevinger
Diesel Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 I’m wondering if this may be the final day for baseball for a while, since the NBA has started to have teams boycott due to BLM.....
MMMordabito Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 I’m wondering if this may be the final day for baseball for a while, since the NBA has started to have teams boycott due to BLM..... I'm not sure the MLBPA will have the same consensus sentiments that the NBPA does. Whether they should or not is a different question.

howeda7 Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 The Brewers just cancelled their game tonightI don't see other teams doing so, however, If MLB was in a bubble, maybe.
drock2190 Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Enough of this cancel culture. We don't know enough about the situation to rush to a judgement. Sure it looks bad from far away but lets wait for the details. No need to cancel games. Play ball!

Mill1634 Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 So glad we are playing ball tonight!!!! Go Twins!!
ScrapTheNickname Provisional Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Bye, Eddie. See you in a different uniform as soon as possible. Bone-headed plays mount, sprinkled with outfield assists and the occasional big fly from a pitch over your head.
stringer bell Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 3 hits and a walk in an inning and they only send five guys to the plate and only one run.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 What i miss? Got me some burger king on the way home. Where kids are king.
Mill1634 Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Indians and Twins share a base running coach?

stringer bell Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 OK, Cleveland loses a base runner too.
ScrapTheNickname Provisional Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Maybe we could trade him for HernandezUnfortunately, I don't think anybody is ready to play LF in our minor league system. Or is somebody ready, or nearly? For next year or the year after.
Danchat Old-Timey Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Looks like we're getting shaky Berrios today... we're going to need more offense [than usual] to win this one.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Not a bad catch there, Mr. Kepler.
stringer bell Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Really nice catch by Kepler.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 I like watching Rosario, warts and all. Only the mad man can see the clear way through the jungle.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Sano is on 2nd Surprise?
stringer bell Verified Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Here's my fearless forecast--the Twins win this game if their 8-9 hitters outperform Cleveland's 8-9 guys.

I'm not sure you've got a solid grasp on the meaning of the term "cancel culture", but it has nothing to do with sports...
