Game Thread: Orioles (Irvin) v Twins (Ober), 7/7 @ 7:10pm CT

[Squirrel]

Well ****

[CoastiePilot08]

Buxton has been so unlucky 

[Squirrel]

Credit due …mit was a great catch. Kirby-esque

[OvertheHill]

I like him, but it’s a sad lineup with Farmer in the cleanup spot…. 

[mnfireman]

Lost in Buxton's out was that Correa tagged and moved over to third. A flyball or grounder to the right side (maybe) scores a run.

[OvertheHill]

Nice efficient inning for Ober! 

[mrtwinsfan]

This whole righty thing , when has it worked ??   Team cant be taken serious with Farmer at 4,  sorry Rocco

[Squirrel]

My 94-yr old mother figured out how to stream AppleTV on her TV, but her internet is so awful the game keeps pausing.

Can she cover the line at 1b, ?

[stringer bell]

Uh oh.

Doing the same for me. Have tried refreshing the connection about a dozen times…still shows zero runs for the Twins.

[CRF]

Ober's pitching another very nice game...and we're not helping him out at all. Only 2 hits. The bats are asleep again. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Hey Farmer you see that  sacrifice fly ?

[mnfireman]

I think the botched DP attempt means no Ober for the 7th, he would be at 88 pitches if they turned it.

[stringer bell]

That’s probably it for Ober. Yet another good outing.

At one point I realized the game was five minutes behind. Her internet is part of her rent but I’m going to suggest she ask the office in her building to see if something else can be done about it … it is AWFUL

His face when he left the field … he looked not happy … he wanted a CGSO, too

[mrtwinsfan]

[mrtwinsfan]

Regardless…bless her heart for trying. My mother and grandmother were HUGE Twins fans. I’m not at all sure if they would have even tried to engage today’s technology, however.

[RpR]

Farmer and Castro come through with a run.

[mrtwinsfan]

C,mon Max

[stringer bell]

Twins bullpen right now is too thin. No great options to pitch the eighth. 

[RpR]

What is up, Gamecast is frozen

Nevermind

 

[jkcarew]

Boy, the FO sure seems to have been right on the Castro signing…and me wrong. Probably no more useful than Gordon defensively…which is to say VERY useful…but actually younger than Gordon, showing consistent signs of being near league average offensively, and a switch hitter. Arb eligible.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oh, that was a pretty double play.

I'm skeptical of anyone thinking Castro was going to be something, the front office included.

But hey, it worked out so good for them.

[jkcarew]

If you can’t be good. Be lucky, Jovani!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Joey Gallo with the unintentional small game.
