Game Thread Twins vs Tigers 6:40pm 9/22/2020

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Rosario's crazy defensive lapses would be about an eighth as frustrating if he didn't also make brilliant Gold Glove-y plays like that one.

Concur.

 

(welcome the 4th page of the game thread)

[LaBombo]

 

More importantly, Buxton played the previous ball off the wall. 

 

... and in the process, did not leave any Buxton on the wall.

[Linus]

Eddie affects the outcome of games that’s for sure. Great throw (this time).

[Nine of twelve]

Look at this - how often does it happen that a player makes a great defensive play and then bats second in the following half inning?

[LaBombo]

Garve does the spontaneous live PSA about gravity to remind Minnesota that winter is just around the corner.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Has anyone here had a pitch fly near your head at 75+ mph? If so, how would you describe the sensation?

It's not fun. You don't have much time to get out of the way.

My recollection is that the sound drowns out every other noise in the world, which then suddenly shows up behind you like that one friend who takes your surprise party waaay too seriously.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Do you have time to feel panic or the adrenaline spike as it's on its way, or does that happen immediately after it passes/hits?

Is there another gravity shortage?

 

(Mutter mutter, just wanted the song at the end of a short about gravity, but my attempts to cue it up 4 minutes into a youtube video fail... meh, i've failed worse)

I faced 40 MPH fastballs the summer before my parents discovered I needed glasses. The sensation might be comparable.

 

[Aggies7]

Omg Cleveland!!

[Sielk]

Indians just walked it off on a big homer by José Ramirez.

[LVTwinsfan]

Ramirez hits 3 run homer in the bottom of the tenth. Indians win 5-3

[Road trip]

I hate LOVE Jose Ramirez...for one day, anyway.

 

[LVTwinsfan]

If the Twins win out and the Sox lose 2 more games they will win the division

[bighat]

 

Omg Cleveland!!

Came here to say the same - holy cow! Down 2 with 2 outs, come back and win 5-3. Incredible work by Lindor and Ramirez there, huge favor for the Twins.

 

Seize the opportunity!

Depends on what part of your you that you land on...

 

 

And no worries on the clip, I was determined to watch the whole thing even before the celebrity cameo turned up...

[Shaitan]

 

Love the baby blues! How is Buck ever going to steal a base like this?

IBB?

[LVTwinsfan]

Sox play 2 more in Cleveland then they finish the season against the Cubs

[LVTwinsfan]

Turn two (I don’t know what page this is)

[Sielk]

May makes me nervous today.

[LaBombo]

Some nights it seems like there must be an alternate reality just a zip code or two away where Trevor May is approaching the midpoint of a HoF career.

 

And then there are nights like tonight...

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Infield fly rule.

 

I don't know if this is a good thing, or a bad thing.

[Shaitan]

I like May's personality off the field, but I don't think I'll mind if they let him walk next year.

 

So inconsistent.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Full count to Niko...

[LVTwinsfan]

Duffey the umpire slayer

I should venture into neighboring zipcodes more often.

 

Maybe i could get some sliders at Whitecastle?

[LaBombo]

It's already been 3 seasons and seeing Goodrum with the Tigers still makes me feel like he's in Detroit because he accidentally got packed up in one of Gardy's moving boxes.

[stringer bell]

Wow, a couple of really close pitches go Goodrum's way. Could have rung him up.
