Game Thread: Twins (Ober) v Tigers (Lorenzen), 6/25 @ 11:10am CT

[Jerr]

I'm tired of the Twins scoring and then immediately the other teams responds....

 

[CRF]

Well...the lead didn't last long.

Farmer doing his best Julien?

That was my thought too.

[Jerr]

That's enough for me here today, I have better things to do. Hopefully, the Twins will get a win.

Stick with it. It will be a good ball game. Twins needn't win. Gave that up last Lent.

Major league teams lose exactly the same number of games as they win. Just not all at the same time.

I wonder if they are playing each other?

I got a good book I need to finish and will check scores later. It's on you to bring home a "Twins Win!!!" thingy.

Didn’t realize Keanu Reeves pitched for the Tigers.

Whoa!

[Parfigliano]

Gallo up so all curves.  Double steal time

[Dave Borton]

Jim Leyland is in Detroit for the weekend. He does scouting and development for the Tigers. 

Give me ol' tyme Baseball.

I put the radio on in the background and break out the Kindle.

Don't have cable so there isn't that temptation.

When the Twins take a s*, I listen to see how my favorites are doing (Farmer/Lewis) and listen to opposing radio booth (when they are decent) to learn the other team.

Gallo looking like he's trying to rip his hair out on the bench. While I dislike his performance, I can't help but sympathize with him.

The Old Scribe (Reusse) has a moment of clarity and praises Rocco.

I didn't see the praise in the article. Nor was any needed.

Baez is good. I looked away for a split second after I was convinced that Vazquez had a hit up the middle and did a double-take after seeing him get thrown out.

He is. He's the SS the Twins should have went after.

I remember Jim Leyland smoking his Lucky Strikes in the dugout.

Correa is Baez = or better in field and Baez OPS  a hundred points lower.  No thanks.

[RickOShea]

Why does Detroit look like such a better team than their record indicates, when they play Minnesota.?  coincidence?, better preparation? luckier? increased  intensity?

[HokieRif]

It would be nice if a routine single up the middle that failed to score a run, because the guy on 2nd didn’t have awareness of where the defense was, didn’t need a playoff caliber celebration from the guy who hit it, but here we are. 

[Rik19753]

Solano hitting 2nd isn't exciting, but he sure deserves the spot with the way that he is hitting.

Because all teams look this way against us.

Baez has way more range. He is a guy who would make Rocco lose the rest of his hair. He does take days off. Correas best days are behind him

Yikes do we hope for the best and accept the worst or expect the worse and hope for the best. Is there a difference?

A  true mn sports fan !!!!

We are getting more hits than yesterday...

[Parfigliano]

Twins hitting philosophy/ coaching....try to pull everything.  Everything.

Solano can do all the celebrating he wants as long as he keeps hitting. We can start complaining about his excessive celebration when everyone starts hitting like him.
