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

Gordon quietly turning into a legit…maybe even nice…major league bench piece

[Vanimal46]

Baffling why Buxton is completely unavailable to PH. That was the best case scenario for Nick Gordon. A swinging bunt(ish) infield single. 

[Aggies7]

Gordon should be out

[mrtwinsfan]

gORDON YOUR out,

I wasn't so much questioning the baserunning decision, with the actual situation, as to wonder if it was deep enough to get a faster runner to third.

Not really. Pretty shallow base hit.

Just thinki n the same thing — not even a jog out to the field by the manager 

[Aggies7]

I’d be flipping mad if I were a tiger fan. How that play isn’t reviewable is befuddling. 

[Vanimal46]

Come on Tommy. Give Gordon the green light to advance to 3B.

Nice break 

[Aggies7]

If you’re mark Contreras, you’d better be able to lay down a sacrifice

[nicksaviking]

Looked like Gordon would have been toast.

on the other hand the Tigers are poor in defense.

[RpR]

ROOKIES big moment.

[Doctor Gast]

I was hoping that pitcher TBD would be a newly impact SP but not so. Good luck to A Sanchez! Go Twins!

Yeah.  Why not?

[Aggies7]

Well that was absolutely horrific lol

[Vanimal46]

Wow. Attempting to bunt with 2 strikes. Gross. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Wasted ab

[Doctor Gast]

Should have had some one PH for Contreras

You're, as in you're 100% right.  

Must be feeling guilty for that strike three call on Contreras (the previous one)

[Aggies7]

I can understand the big slugger guys not being able to bunt, but not light hitting outfielders…

I think I know a guy on the bench. I think he was an all star too. 

[Danchat]

Hate the bunt call. Gordon can score from 2B, let Contreras swing!

[Doctor Gast]

Come on Polanco, you're great at this, walk offs

[USAFChief]

"It's a scheduled day off for Buck."

[RpR]

Too bad Twins do not steal bases.

[Aggies7]

How can you make it to the big leagues and stab at bunts like that

[lukeduke1980]

We dont bunt except with a rookie in the 9th against a guy throwing 100
