Game Thread: Twins & Tigers 7/28/21 @ 12:10

[D. Hocking]

A lot of chickens have had their lives saved by the Twins this season.

[insagt1]

Headline makers on notice: Can we see: Twins win 12-11 after falling behind by 10?  Or--Twins erase 10 run deficit but still lose in extra innings 11-10. Or Sano cracks 3 solo HR's but fans in the 10th with tying run on base to end game.

[RpR]

Time for Rooker to show he belongs in the Big Show, Larnach has a hit today.

[Azviking101]

When was the last time a team hit grand slams in back to back games and lost both? Lol

[RpR]

I see umpire today is seeing double.

[Irishman]

Please cut Happ!   

[RickOShea]

I don't think Short touched second base?

[Aggies7]

sano has done as much this inning as he's done all month

[wsnydes]

Pitching exhibition this is not.

1st base.

@USAFChief isn't here, so someone's gotta step up!

[Azviking101]

Astudillo is so annoying to watch. Never was thrown a strike and just swings at everything. 

[wavedog]

4 balls were thrown to Astudillo but he just can't help swinging.

I know, Larnach is so much better.?

I am watching this on ESPN Gamecast and with this umpire you do not have to be close to the strike zone to get a strike.

[wsnydes]

and a leadoff walk...

[wsnydes]

Jeffers having himself a game.

Astudillo did take 2 balls but the 2 pitches he swung at were in the dirt.   He had cricket swings.

[big dog]

Agreed, let's not trade Happ. Just cut him. Tonight. You aren't going to get anything for him anyway, do him a favor and give him an opportunity to see if anyone wants him for free.

[garn from vancouver]

oh man. another day.

[nicksaviking]

I really wish they would have kept Happ out there. If he lowered his ERA below 5.00 he might have had a bit better trade value. He only would have needed to go 37 more innings.

[RpR]

Time for Willy Mays Hays Gordon to steal third.

 

[MMMordabito]

Maybe the Twins should trade Happ to the Tigers for Holland.  Perhaps these old lefties just need another change of scenery, plus we could listen to Holland do Harry Caray impressions.

[wavedog]

Darn it Kepler - c'mon not a pop-up 

[wsnydes]

Pitching in this game, on both sides, has been less than ideal.

[garn from vancouver]

polanco thinks he's sano.

[RpR]

I am sure Polanco would agree.

Unfortunately this one I prepared prematurely last night died in vain. I should learn.

 

[LA Vikes Fan]

I give up. We stink. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did we win yet?
