Arraez with an immediate response.  I like that.

Launch angle.  Its all the rage

Ha, based on the the last two home runs, you want an atypical launch angle today.

[wsnydes]

Polanco with an even better, yet not quite as immediate, response!

I like that as well!

Last I heard, Maeda was throwing at 120ft.  That was a little bit ago though. 

Home plate is only 60ft, he must be doubly ready!

Dauntless

[SwainZag]

Lol.  That girl behind the fence almost took that Polo HR right to the face.  She was watching Sheets jump and seemed to never even see the ball until it pounded the concrete right next to her.

*60 ft 6 inches.

Dang it Buxton, weren't you watching? You hit it too hard! Hit them like a pitching wedge today!

Arraez hasn’t hit the ball hard yet this game, but he’s 3-3.

Not to worry. Polo will get her next time

Oh, well, in that case, he's not even close to ready let alone doubly so!

[USAFChief]

Ryan still on the mound?

This Twins team is dauntless.  This kind of response after two walkoff losses is magnificent...and something to keep in mind regardless of the slumps or bad losses yet to come.

I repeat: dauntless.  And that confidence is percolating through the whole lineup now, even with Byron in a hitting slump.

Motor City Kitties just finished off the 4 game sweep of the Guardians.  I think Cleveland might have sacrificed everything on those 4 improbable comeback wins against our boys.

What's with all these positive vibes? This is TD Game Thread. Only pessimistic and negative comments allowed!

This game is going to be back and forth all day, isn't it?

Probably, and be probably 4 hours plus ….ooops, maybe not with Pagan coming in

Emilio coming in.

I hope so considering Pagan was warming.

[big dog]

It’s Pagan time

Pagan in the 5th? Weird. Probably better than him in the 8th or 9th.

Jobu needs more rum, I guess.

Nice. I get it.

Arraez leads MLB in hitting. And is one of the lowest on the team in hard-hit ball percentage. I think there might be something learnable there.

I complain too, and did so a lot during the last Cleveland series.  But I'm more concerned about longer-term trends, especially with team attitude.  And positive attitude seems legit over a large sample size now.

[IndianaTwin]

It’s Chicago, so not even the ump can field ground balls. 

[USAFChief]

Way to knock it down, blue.

Young folks on here that make fun of HOFer LaRussa and his 3 WS rings, won’t have a clue what this is ?
