Game Thread: Twins (Keuchel) v Diamondbacks (Gallen), 8/6/23 @ 1:10 CT

[stringer bell]

So far, Keuchel is as advertised. Jamie Moyer and Tommy John are calling their agents--sign me up.

[mrtwinsfan]

Liking Royce as our 3rd base when he comes back, But gotta say  liking Castro over farmer and Solano and Polanco,  , Seems to have a very good arm, and accurate

[stringer bell]

Keuchel is like some radio stations, stuck in the 80s.

Castro's emergence as a super utility player makes me wonder what the team will do with Nick Gordon

I read somewhere that clemens was clocked at 88 mph, within the past couple of months.

Julien playing defense is so painful to watch

They should put a two by two box, 90 feet from him and and make him try to get throws into it, telling hime, every one in hets fifty dollars, every miss, he pays one hundred dollars and give him 100 balls to throw.

Don't know about concussed. But definitely embarrassed 😳 

Yeah, I don’t think he’s embarrassed either. The manager likely sat him because every person on the Guardians bench would be out to get him

Trade him to the Yankees for Rortvedt.

[stringer bell]

Willi Castro for Gold Glove (utility player)!!

Usually Colby or Cheddar; some times my cousin and I would take a road trip to Wisc. and visit cheese factories for fresh cheese.

Then I might have large chunk and just slice it off and eat it slice by slcie.

The farmers market near my home has a cheese maker that comes there. Expensive but is the best cheese

The Twins would be financially ruined if it were a daily exercise

[SteveLV]

This AZ hurler is very, very impressive.

Player's Union wouldn't allow it.

Twins make a lot of pitchers look like strikeout kings.

[glunn]

I hope that Ryan's arm is recharging today.

Or as we used to say at the previous site, Livaning his way through the lineup.

[CRF]

Helluva play by Wallner. 

[Schmoeman5]

Nice play Mr. Wallner

[RpR]

Glad Wallner caught the ball but a darn good thing he dove for it or it would have been two more on IL.

[stringer bell]

Great catch MW!!

[stringer bell]

Keuchel with four scoreless (as expected).

[glunn]

Keuchel is fun to watch. Limited velocity but avoiding hard contact.

[mrtwinsfan]

Wishing Dallas well , but it reminds me of all the 3-4 inning starts from others trying to find the Fountain of Youth we had in previous years,   Nice hustle Wallner

[rwilfong86]

DP4 or K4. Almost every single time.

[tarheeltwinsfan]

Why would  a manager bat the league leader in grounding into double plays immediately after the teams on base percent leader?

nice timing 

[Nine of twelve]

Runner might have beat the throw from Castro if he had bothered to step on the base.

Julien is allegedly a good base stealer yet remains rooted on first base time after time.

[USAFChief]

The most concerning thing about Correa, to me, is the number of hittable pitches that he sees but doesn't hit. 

He had 2 middle middle fastballs that AB. Fouled one off, rapped a ground ball right to SS on the other. 

It's virtually every AB. He gets pitches to hit but doesn't.
