Game Thread Twins @ Cardinals Doubleheader First Game @ 2:15 PM CST

Wow, Bremer

I got sick of listening to Smalley so I muted them, did he call that one as well??

[USAFChief]

 

If my point was mute, then no one could hear it

Which would render it moot.

This lineup for game 2 makes no sense. We have 2 days off coming up. We have 2 of the last 5 days of the season off. Sweeping a double header is hard. We run out a get-away lineup is dumb. You all can talk about that seedings don't matter in the playoffs, but I beg to differ. I realize were winning, but this is not what I would do. Also, I wasn't AL Manager of the Year in 2019

He said Rookers first home run shouldn’t be far off, next pitch..gone

[MNT1996]

Twins future is looking very bright. Rooker and Jeffers look like natural hitters, and Twins haven't even seen Lewis, Kiriloff, or Larnach yet in a regular season.

Well, we did get Cruz, Donaldson, and Sano for both games, so it could be worse.

Damn... That's a far more impressive call than the Sano call. You're never really going out on much of a limb by calling a Sano HR in any given at-bat.

St. Louis starter already over 40 pitches

It feels like the Twins have played their best against the Cardinals this year... which is odd, since they're a pretty good team.

This is as good of an argument as any for letting Rosario walk next year. All of those guys would be making <10% of what Rosie would make.

[Sielk]

Nice for Rooker to get his first homer in his childhood favorite's ballpark.

 

I have to say, I am impressed with Rooker's at bats so far. It was always said he strikes out a lot so I expected to see some wild chases. But he takes some really close pitches.

Mrs Chief and I like to go out to breakfast before church, and Sunday we went to a local Mexican eatery. I love the spicy food, but it...gives me gas.

 

We were sitting in church, and I really had to flatulate. I couldn't hold it any more, so I let one go. Fortunately, it was of the silent variaty.

 

Mrs Chief gave me a sour look.

 

"I had to," I whispered to Mrs Chief. "But it was a silent one."

 

She looked at me for just a second, then whispered, "Time to change the batteries on your hearing aids, dear."

Dobnak for Cy Young

[FlauerPauer]

I know that Dobnak has found success in his young major league career, but do you guys see him sustaining his success with a k/9 rate as low as his is? 4.8 k/9 this year compared to 7.3 k/9 last year.

Twins Rook to Busch Stadium Left

I, for one, am very excited for all of the Twins chess jokes that we have coming over the next few years. It seems like an untapped but promising vein of humor.

Check.

So that's why they're called pews...

[USAFChief]

It'd be really, really welcome if Josh Donaldson turned out healthy and hot.

Are sure she whispered?

So I guess that means you didn't hear her, eh? Let it rip.

Dobnak for Cy Young

We're past the trade deadline.

 

[USAFChief]

Way to make him throw strikes, Eddie.

[USAFChief]

 

We're past the trade deadline.
 

Also past the "trade for dead" line.

[twinbythebay]

Ah yes, popping up the first pitch, outside the strike zone, after the pitcher just gave up a walk... I call that the Rosario special.

[TFRazor]

We're past the trade deadline.

 

Touché

[ashbury]

Also past the "trade for dead" line.

Bring out your dead arms!
