GAME THREAD: Minnesota Twins at Texas Rangers, 7/9/2022, 3:10 PM CDT

[Nine of twelve]

Conversation in the booth about position players pitching in blowouts - it would have been interesting to see what Dave Winfield could have brought to the mound in that situation but it never did happen.

Smeltzer has struggled with virtually every batter.

Texas telecasters said that Rocco is thinking Buxton won't be in the lineup tomorrow. 

[stringer bell]

Odds that the Twins score with a runner on second and none out--I'm guessing less than 50-50.

You have the right to do unto Texas as Texas did unto you..... 

[mrtwinsfan]

Okay Buck , breaks over, lets go

[Mill1634]

did that not hit above the yellow line?

[stringer bell]

Okay, how long a leash for Smeltzer?

[mrtwinsfan]

Atta boy Byron

[Danchat]

Hold on... we were up 3-0 yesterday and gave up 6 to make it 6-3... and now Texas was up 3-0 and we just scored 6 runs! Weird coincidence!

[Nine of twelve]

Stop me if you've heard this before: Twins vs Texas, one team takes a 3-0 lead, the other team scores 6 in an inning to take the lead.

Edit: ninja'd by Danchat.

[LVTwinsfan]

I like when the Twins beat up on their ex pitchers. It makes me think they did good by trading them. I hope we do the same to Gibson too.

I forgot this was an afternoon game
