[Squirrel]

Okay ... did I get the time right this time? 

Here we go ... go Twins! Break the leftie curse!

ESPN says 9:07, so close enough.

I swear ... some days I don't know where my head is at!

I'm not one to take a shot at Laudner but they were talking about pinch hitting and he said that Randy Bush could have been the PH in the bottom of the 10th against ATL in game 7. Wasn't an option since Bush had PH in the 8th. And he also got a single.

I would like to see all game start times standardized to either the top or the bottom of the hour.  The 7:05, 7:10, 7:15,  6:40, 6:50, etc, are just more confusing.  Old guys like me , need less confusion.

The ChiSox used to have 7:11 start times ... because 7-11 was a sponsor, or some such. But yeah ...

Now that's kinda cool.  Easy to remember.

I went to a Twins game in MIL several years back that had a 6:20 start time because of the station they play on WTMJ.

[RickOShea]

Any 4:20 starts?

Well, given the different time zones ... probably somewhere in the world is a 4:20 start ... 

[Squirrel]

Goodness, I just noticed ... are those lineups really large for anyone else?

Those of us with bad eyes would never say that.

Well the game did start at 4:20 Pacific time.

[Squirrel]

wow ... like those pitches from Sandoval

[RickOShea]

Now's the time to get things going!

[RickOShea]

Push bunt from Buck?

Yeah ... certainly don't need my reading glasses. The funny thing is ... those were screen shots on my phone. 

[PDX Twin]

Nice inning. We have a chance for more as long as we don't load the bases.

Paris France, it’s currently 4:20 AM

[PDX Twin]

Yay! Fun play and Twins' run!

[RickOShea]

Not even close

 

[RickOShea]

Way too early to lose a challenge on that close  (or not that close) play.  Come on guys, play smart!

[Marcos]

“Not even close“
 

Who is the video guy for twins?

I’ll take shots at Laudner

Twins early game challenges don’t work out well….

They need a new video guy. He's batting about as well as the Twins with the bases loaded and no outs.
