Game Thread: Twins (Ober) v Tigers (Faedo), 8/15/23 @ 6:40 CT

What a feeling that must be to hit a grand slam. It's gotta be  like a non ballplayer not dripping ketchup on your shirt.

[stringer bell]

Now hold the lead!! BP has been a bit leaky lately. 

[USAFChief]

Kepler and Wallner both put together really, really good ABs. Kepler should have been an out, but it's not his fault the foul popup dropped. 

No ass bats from those two that inning.

Fortunately they won't be playing KC and Detroit in the playoffs.

True.  But the schizophrenia act still needs to end, and the sooner the better. 

[tony&rodney]

Wallner's stock is up.

I think he's gotten tired of the Minneapolis/St. Paul shuttle and wants to stay up permanently.

Yeah, he can now start hitchhiking between the two.

Just turned on the game and was wondering if Julien is hurt.

I couldn’t agree more with your comment: now Gallo is taking Julien’s ABs? WTH! 

Julien has a bum hammy.

Hopefully, he can now forget how to get to CHS Field permanently and just stay here.

AJ's running his pen like rosters have expanded.

[stringer bell]

Strike three to Taylor was about the same distance out of the zone as strike three to Bohm in Philly. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Need another big hit here from Royce here!

[PDX Twin]

Correa does Correa things.

[IndyTwinsFan]

C4 with the bases loaded.  Yikes!

[Parfigliano]

Blown opportunity

[RickOShea]

I never thought of Correa as a common DPer, until he's become a Twin.

Well at least he didn't in the 6th inning.

[AceWrigley]

Correa doesn't even have the decency to strikeout.

[USAFChief]

Hard to be mad about that GIDP. He hit that hard.

But he was bound to at some point.

Very small consolation.

Now, he can't seem to stop doing it. 

[RickOShea]

The Twins rummaged around their lost and found box, and found their defense for a couple of plays, tonight.

Yup.  Bad luck.

[stringer bell]

Big league defense from Polanco. Seeing him running (tried to steal three times in Kepler's AB and then stole third a couple of innings later) and making good defensive plays bodes well for the rest of the season.

[IaBeanCounter]

Wouldn't mind an insurance run or 2

[IndyTwinsFan]

Would be nice to get at least one more run here.

[BH67]

Wallner with the Grand Slam/Sombrero exacta. That's rare.
