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

[LaBombo]

 

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?

 

Japan?

[Aggies7]

Still can’t get over how they chose to pitch to castro in front of the DP guy cabrera

[LaBombo]

Can I just get tossed without accruing any warning points?

 

I feel like I could shut the game off and spare myself the frustration that way.

 

If there's no voluntary ban I might have to bust out my collection of limericks that include 'Nantucket'.

[Aggies7]

LFG

[LaBombo]

Farmer's Almanac calls for towering cumulus and rain late...

[MVP Nick Punto]

And with that, Kepler becomes the first German-born player to hit 101 HR in the MLB.

Rhymes with Pucket?

[Aggies7]

Eww what’s with the robe gimmick? Cringe

[Diesel]

Max. Kepler.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And looks like we at least temporarely squandered our squandering opportunity, courtesy of Kepler.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Japan?

Hmm, the game is certainly popular over there. I think we need to consult someone who was there when the rules were written to determine whether runs are awarded for the aggregate vertical on balls in play. Anyone got Chief's number?

Apparently they were all given one. And Cruz is like the king of the homerun or something, so the homerun hitter has proved himself worthy. Or something. I am not sure i can cite sources.

Tribute to Battle of Midway code breaker Joe Rochefort...

kicking dirt on home plate is an automatic ejection

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And the number of the pitches shall be 3.

[LVTwinsfan]

Quite a play

[LaBombo]

Who's up for extra innings until midnight?

[stringer bell]

Too bad a catcher or Cabrera wasn't running.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did Donaldson just barehand a ball of the bag?

[LaBombo]

 

And the number of the pitches shall be 3.

 

Five is right out...

 

 

Hoping the Tigers, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

[Aggies7]

 

Who's up for extra innings until midnight?

Stinks that an important game like this (and the White Sox tonight) would be decided on a women’s softball extra inning rule 

[stringer bell]

 

Rhymes with Pucket?

Same variation of the Detroit pitcher's name (Buck Farmer)?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Who's up for extra innings until midnight?

All things being equal, i would prefer scoring this inning, but yeah, sure, i expect i'll stick around.

[LaBombo]

Nice leadoff walk by Han "Never tell me the count, kid!" Soto.

[Aggies7]

Bunt here. I know. But bunt,

[stringer bell]

I'll comment on the ump right here. Really tight zone all night, but pretty consistent. He gave Romo a strike that was out of the box.

[Aggies7]

Should have bunted

 

now steal

[Aggies7]

Bringer of double plays. What a waste of a leadoff walk

[Danchat]

I was going to say that Buxton needs to steal here, but it's hard to do that when your next batter hits into a GIDP on the very first pitch of the AB.

[MNT1996]

Oh here we go. Strap in
