GAME THREAD: 9/12/20 Twins vs Cleveland 7:07 PM CDT

[TFRazor]

Well if he’s hurt he still can thump the ball

[TFRazor]

According to Do-Hyoung Park the Twins have announced right forearm injury and will examine him further.

Yeah that doesn’t sound good

[USAFChief]

Not sure playing Buxton deep does anybody any good.

Sad day here in the Chief household, a good friend of ours drowned in a tragic boating accident a few days ago, and the funeral was today.

 

We put a lifejacket on his casket, it's what he would have wanted.

 

Was there a wake?

[USAFChief]

FFS.

[Mill1634]

Why exactly is Clippard pitching the 8th of a close game?

[Aggies7]

Just handing out bases.

[USAFChief]

Agree with AJ here. I usually like playing the infield in, but not in this situation.

They're saving Smeltzer for the 9th.

[Aggies7]

Why exactly is Clippard pitching the 8th of a close game?

Maybe they aren’t throwing Rogers in the ninth, so Duffey. And the other guy got himself suspended

[Aggies7]

Absolute gift strike three

[USAFChief]

Rocco monitors game threads in real time, apparently.

[Tovar12]

Clippard has the wide hip Blyleven look.

[USAFChief]

 

Clippard has the wide hip Blyleven look.

Helps him get to that balance point. 

[IndianaTwin]

Gotta say, Wes Johnson does his part on keeping the game moving when he visits the mound. His dugout-to-the-mound pace has to be among the quickest in baseball. 

[Tovar12]

Comedy of errors behind the plate the last couple games

 

[Mill1634]

The catching defense has not been good

[Aggies7]

Actually embarrassing at this point with the wild pitches and passed balls

[70charger]

Ramirez literally tripped and fell over home plate.

 

Somehow that was not the worst part of that play.

[USAFChief]

Pitch your way out of giving up a run, then give it up anyway.

[Aggies7]

Begging to lose this one

[stringer bell]

Geez, they gave away a run. There goes the “Rogers cushion”.

[USAFChief]

And then walk the tying run on.

[Nine of twelve]

Cripes, just get us out of the top of this inning and let's get us some insurance in the bottom.

[70charger]

Could use a bit of a cushion here...

[twins_89]

Twins have gifted the Indians a couple of runs tonight, I really hope that isn't the difference in a loss.

[USAFChief]

Wouldja look at that! Sold out tonight at Target Field.

[Nine of twelve]

That Hyundai commercial - telling us it's OK to be distracted while driving because the car will save you. Is that really the message we want to send?

[USAFChief]

Maybe the top of the order could do something?

[70charger]

Is the bottom of the Indians' order coming up? Seems like it is, but the box score is unclear with the substitutions.
