Game Thread: Twins (Maeda) v Royals (Greinke), 7/4/23 @ 1:10 CT

[Dave Borton]

The game has been too interesting. I have gotten very little done on planning our January anniversary trip to a Caribbean island that has no cruise ship visits. Input appreciated sometime before the snow flies, guys.

No, I don't think so. They must be happy where they're at. I mean, I've let them know several times now I'm available and they're completely disinterested. 

Might be your profile picture. He did coach for the Tigers for a while. Change it to TK and reapply?

Use to love Sparky in the broadcast booth.

Maeda has been impressive today

[glunn]

Maeda is money today.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Wow, Kenta is doing great! 7 innings and 9K's Bravo!

[USAFChief]

It appears Moran has taken the "abuse like a rented mule" role from Stewart. 

[Dave Borton]

KC booth pumping the great Target Field experience. Telling their listening crowd to road trip.

Great outing for Maeda. Yes, it is the Royals, but he only yielded two in five innings against the flaming hot Braves in Atlanta. Only need two innings to finish the game and then have both Jax and Duran available for Wednesday.

How about a couple more runs? I'd like to see Jorge get an inning today.

[glunn]

Insurance runs then Pagan.

Indeed 

Sopranos, altos, tenors, even a bass

Maeda is going to be the story (and he deserves props for throwing as well as he has coming back,) but holy **** KC is awful. They're so bad it actually pisses me off. 

[glunn]

Solano proving his worth today.

[USAFChief]

Witt, Witt Jr, and now Wittgren. Lots of family made the show.

[glunn]

Buxton is still fast.

They're just coming off winning two of three from the Dodgers. I don't know how poorly they are playing or if our beloved Twins are finally playing well.

Byron beats out the slow grounder.  This is fun.

Just smoked the Dodgers, 2-1 in a series in LA. Heard this on Olney's podcast.

Dave Roberts:  "Those guys just outplayed us. It’s a different brand of baseball as far as putting the ball in play, hitting behind runners, stealing bases. They were excellent in situational hitting. To be quite honest, we couldn’t keep up, and that’s how they won this series. But as far as overall, I don’t know the answer to that.”

What's Buxton's time in 40 yd dash?

[ashbury]

All kinds of fun now!

The baseball gods owed him that one.

We should send chocolate to Kiriloff's wrist surgeon.
