Game Thread: Guardians v Twins, 5-15 @ 1:10pm CDT

[Mill1634]

5/15/22 will always be known as the Gio Urshella game around these parts

[Squirrel]

Gio … wow … tough call for POTG … Gio or Ryan

[Nine of twelve]

And the Twins beat Cleveland 3-1 with only 4 hits.

[Squirrel]

That 2nd inning in the White Sox game … fly out, fly out, single, lotta walks, WP … 1 hit, 3 runs

[Unwinder]

Tuning in late, I am maybe even more loyal to Kramarczuk than I am to the Twins. Gotta have that bratwurst. I usually buy one nine-dollar Summit at the start of the game, feel kind of stupid, and walk to Inbound brewing after the game for one more.

[Mill1634]

Twins win!!

Huge to win that series after a stinker against the Astros. Now we get 3 against the A's, where we should win at least 2 more, and the White Sox begin a 5 gamer with the Royals over the next 4 days. Urshella was fantastic, Buxton homered and more importantly did so after slamming into the wall, and the pitching was fantastic once again after burning through all of the bullets in a loss last night.

Until late tomorrow,

ENJOY YOUR CHICKEN!

I sure hope everybody was fishing, enjoying the weather or at least some adult beverages .  This was a fun game and a Game Thread that could have been one for the ages. Squirrel, great intro and poll. Sorry we let you down.  this should have been a 12 pager.

It's a long season with 162 games. Not every game thread can be 12 pages long. When it's nice outside, go outside and enjoy it! Glad you liked the poll!

Yah, my excuse today was being in Reno assisting Mrs Ash buying a new bicycle. 

We've just entered the portion of the year where every day has some excuse.

Radio guys, right? Sounds like they were referring to homers by Harmon Killebrew (as high as they were long). Buxton's ball was in the air a long time, but easily made the seats.

Sorry, kilo as in the metric prefix.

And they corrected themselves. There was a series in Puerto Rico where Twins played as the home team where Sano hit one out. Not being in TF, it shouldna been counted.

 

So Buxton's was 999 by a Twin at TF.
