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

[LVTwinsfan]

Gotta make that play

[Nine of twelve]

Dangit!

[LaBombo]

In fairness to Sano, we've seen throws like that one booted by other nose tackles as well.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We been pretty quick to claim a lead. Wonder if we can grab another.

 

Right off the bat, as it were.

[LVTwinsfan]

If the Twins lose the division it isn’t because we split the season series with the Sox, it because we couldn’t take care of the Royals and the Tigers and the Sox did

[ashbury]

Infield fly rule.

 

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

If the rule didn't exist, you'd know the answer.

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Only if i knew who was batting...

 

I were thinkin' more along the line of, it is nice to get the out, but it was bad to let so many on with so few outs in the first place...

[Aggies7]

I don’t understand why we struggle with these nobodies so much. Beyond frustrating

[LaBombo]

"Let's not bicker about who walked who..."

 

[Aggies7]

HOW did we not walk him? Wtf

[LVTwinsfan]

Well, if we can’t beat the Tigers...

[Danchat]

It's getting really frustrating to see the Twins consistently being outplayed by the Tigers and Royals.

[stringer bell]

Get that run back. Maybe more. 

[LaBombo]

 

Well, if we can’t beat the Tigers...

 

What is "join them!" ?

[stringer bell]

Frustrating to see cans of corn time after time.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Frustrating to see cans of corn time after time.

Especially in the fall, when we can shuck our own cobs...

[LaBombo]

Donaldson's slash line is virtually identical to last season, and that's usually a good thing for a guy who's getting a 35th birthday for Christmas.

 

But I still can't shake the feeling that the impact of his offense has been a little... underwhelming?

[stringer bell]

A little too high of a launch angle.

[LVTwinsfan]

Missed it by that much

[Danchat]

Jimenez has a 9.00 ERA... gets through the inning just fine. 

[LaBombo]

 

Frustrating to see cans of corn time after time.

 

It's not helping that Bremer's calls make it sound like runs are awarded for the aggregate vertical on balls in play.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Man they should have a camera pointed up so we can see how high fly balls are going... Something tells me Sano's shot woulda caught a cat walk in Tropicana.

[LaBombo]

 

A little too high of a launch angle.

 

Something something "trajectory"...

Well he was out for over half of the season and so far he hasn't had many big hits. His biggest hit was overshadowed by being ejected.

[LaBombo]

 

Especially in the fall, when we can shuck our own cobs...

 

[Aggies7]

Kind of a light mood in here considering that the team is 6 outs from squandering a magnificent opportunity against a team of below average players. But I’m an angry east coast guy

[LaBombo]

In the offseason Clippard seemed to me like one of those "Why didn't we go get him 5 years ago?" guys. Lucky for me I'm used to being wrong.

Nothing wrong with that.

 

Gotta pace yourself for all the squandering.

Lots of people are spending this month's anger allowance on politics.

It's not helping that Bremer's calls make it sound like runs are awarded for the aggregate vertical on balls in play.

Wait, are they not? Then where did I get the idea that runs were, in fact, awarded for the aggregate vertical on balls in play?
