Game Thread: Twins v N.Y. Yankees, 4/13 @ 6:05 CT

[Winston Smith]

The Twins getting shutout tomorrow night is a near lock. Bet the house.

[RpR]

Right now Buxton an Gordon are the odd men out.

[Hrbowski]

I thought Michael A. Taylor couldn't hit?

Why so negative?

[MMMordabito]

Cordero trying to breakup the no-hitter already?

 

[kydoty]

Breaking up the perfect game in the 3rd inning.  😂 

[jimbo92107]

Nice K for Ryan. Pretty change bending down arm side. 

[wsnydes]

So, just checking in to see how the game is going.  And uuuhhhhm, am I reading that score backwards?!?!?

Ryan doing a terrific job so far. He's being aggressive with the big lead, but not careless. Defense has been solid behind him as well, but he's looking good out there. Feels like a night where he could comfortably go 7.

[RickOShea]

Twins are showing excellent self control. I haven't seen one of them give the finger to any Yankee player or coach, yet.

Possibly … 11 is a palindrome after all

Though odd, both uniform numbers are squares, so they do have that.

 

(Sorry if that’s too mathy.)

Upside down.  Instead of 0-11 it's 11-0.

Who did we trade for Taylor again?

As is 0. 

[jimbo92107]

Odd... at the end of that inning, the Yankee pitcher came up to the ump, who inspected his left hand. He's a right handed pitcher, ump...

Oh, that's gotta be it!  For a second there, I thought I was going crazy!

[wsnydes]

To avoid any jinxes and/or such, I shall take my leave and leave the game in your capable hands!

Wonder if there has ever been 9-1-2 back to back to back in the first. 

Yes.

 

Tonight.

[ashbury]

Yankee p-b-p acknowledges MAT covers a lot of ground.

Must be. Solano's the one playing first for us now.

[ashbury]

There goes the perfect game.

Well, 22 straight outs between the Alvarez slam and Rizzo dinger.

[jimbo92107]

Dang, Ryan showed Rizzo all his pitches. What next?? Maybe he needs a knuckleball...

But junk can be stored on either wrist.
