Game Thread: Twins (Ryan) v Rangers (Scherzer), 9/1/23 @ 7:05 CT

[USAFChief]

I wonder who ya gotta know to score ducats to those seats behind home plate. Look pretty cool.

[Dave Borton]

Factoid:
Duran has given up 6 HRs this year.
Lance Lynn has given up 37.

[Aggies7]

Well hopefully this was a massive confidence boost for duran. That was fast 

[Parfigliano]

Victory.

Do the Twins want to play Texas in the first post-season round?

[insagt1]

nothing made sense tonite. Scherzer dominated...and was removed. In the day he''d be in there for at least 105 or so pitches. Given that break, the unlikeliest of hitters for the Twins bashed HR's. to give them a 3-1 lead,

Then our starter comes out after 6 great innings. And the hot and cold bullpen pitched 3 scoreless, easy innings.

We'll take the win. They stole it...maybe Texas gave it away. Doesn't matter. In September its all about the W's. Thats all that matters. They remain 5 ahead.

Interesting ballgame for sure

[Linus]

Another variety pack of home plate umpiring. The last pitch was 6” inside.

How’s that 5% chance of Cleveland winning the division looking at this moment?

What's with TX uniforms?

That means they drive around the city until they find a slow-pitch softball team they can beat up and take their uniforms, right?

They play indoors man so it should not matter.

It's probably bad that I really thought it was an outdoor park

[insagt1]

i'll explain. With Scherzer owning us, we had no chance. When the Texas pen came in, the robbery occurred. Yes, I give the hitters credit for taking advantage of the change. Rangers didn;t know what hit them . Seriously did anyone on this planet expect Luplow and Vazquez to hit opposite field HR's in this game?

Big win, no doubt about it. Let's run with it now!

Can you really say a team gave away a game by only scoring 1 run?

That’s the magic of baseball. Sometimes it’s inexplicable 🙂

Senior and I saw them on their retirement tour at The Village Inn in 2000.  They were great to everyone 🙂
