Game Thread: Tigers @ Twins 6:40 8/1/2022

[nicksaviking]

I’m not sure why everyone hates Sanchez so much. The 2021 Giants and 2019 Astros signed him and each had 107 wins.

What you all want 108 wins?!?

With two outs, a double.  Atta Jorge!

Now bring one or more around, Luis.

NOPE!

Threaten but do not score.  How often have I heard that one before?

Hoping we keep it close enough for some late-game pinch hitting heroics from Buxton or Kirilloff.

Can't use Buxton if this is his official "rest" day. And Kirilloff is down to one wrist. In other words, no help in the late innings. But we like it that way. More sporting.

Same old pattern!

I was going to post a dad joke, but frankly, I couldn't find one I really liked. Anyone else?

I'm confused that kiriloff is on the roster. I really don't understand. He can't swing well. Really confused.

Bringing up Sanchez is just like making a big trade for a starter.

Aa-ron Sanchez? More like Two-run Sanchez!

[IndyTwinsFan]

Even though it's still early, I'm not liking where this one appears to be heading.

Here's a great joke for all you mindreaders out there:

Yeah. I’m not buying it. Same wrist he was destroying AAA with…and he’s still active. Needs to stop hitting pitcher’s pitches, show some patience, willingness to take a walk. But, that’s just me.

True story; My dad in his early 70's was still throwing football passes to my youngest brother, who was maybe ten at the time. Anyway, the old man suffered a heart attack, small one, and a month later he was in the doctor's office getting a review of his situation. The doc told my dad he needed to take it easy for awhile. My dad asked the doc if that meant he could still play football. The doc stared at him, wrote something down on his charts and later after the doc left the room my old man spun the doc's clipboard around so he could read the evaluation. In underlined ink the doc had written one word, "Senile".

I know Detroit is awful, but what are they doing with Baddoo in the lineup? It's brutal to watch as an opposing fan...

It’s only funny if it stops at two. Six-run Sanchez is just depressing.

[TopGunn#22]

So THIS is the big move we've all been waiting for...Aaron Sanchez.  By the way, I don't see the Yankees package for Montas as anything THAT great.  

[Irishman]

GIDP.   Sigh.....

The As wanted MLB ready pitching. It's not a great package, but the As value things differently than many.

Kirilloff in? What is going on here?

I thought I was confused before.

I know Skubal is Detroit's #1 but he's 7-8 with a 3.6.  Why is it the Twins routinely do nothing against every middling to below average starter they face?

Well he’s 7-8 because the Tigers are terrible. If he’s a middling pitcher, he’s the best one in the league.

And when exactly did Gary Sanchez become Miguel Sano?

[IndyTwinsFan]

Redux...

Threaten but do not score.  How many more times will we hear this tonight??  I suspect this one won't be the last one.
