Game Thread: Twins vs. Mommy, Make the Bad Men Stop, 7/2 - 7:10pm

Clearly Parmelee and Hicks are jonesing for more PT

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Phil Hughes is really good, apparently.

[GCTF]

Meh, pretty much zero chance that'll come back to haunt.

No Sugar coating it... Twins should have scored at least a run. Parm and Hicks have to put the ball in play and backwards K's is a punishable offense.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Some fabulous ABs by Parmelee and Hicksee there.

 

They are just trying to fit in with the rest of the team when they play the Yankees.

[GCTF]

Not worried, Alberto Gonzalez has always been a Twins killer.

[Gibby]

Que Sera Sera.

[Riverbrian]

A long time ago (when super stations were novel) I listened to Skip Carey and his former player analyst discuss "moving 'em over and getting them in". They talked about when someone would give themselves up to advance the runner and agreed that the only time would be late in a tie game. They cited a lot of baseball people and while some said it is nice to hit the ball to the right side regardless, no one was in favor of sacrificing an out for a base unless it was the probable winning run. To hear Dick and Bert (and Smalley too) blather on about productive outs irritates me no end. The fact is that even if a team gets a runner to third with one out, it is far from a guarantee that the runner will score, especially with the bottom of the order hitting.

She is still alive according to Wiki... 91 years old... She still works part time as a mud wrestler with the Dirty Girls Troup out of Los Angelas.

In MN. 1600 miles in 2 days. I deserve to see a win after that. Unfortunately what you deserve isn't always what you get

[Guest USAFChief]

"hit"

[Riverbrian]

"hit"

 

I'd score it an error... Can't guarantee what the official scorer will do.

You must have slept while driving.

Come on Sam, you know that gatorade cooler's just asking for it

I can.

[Danchat]

Ok, we scored a run. Isn't it time to melt down and give up 3?

 

You predicted that on spot... however it wasn't a tough one to make.

[Riverbrian]

Homer Bailey with a no hitter thru 8.1 innings. Watching MLB network now.

[Riverbrian]

No hitter complete

[stringer bell]

How did I just know Ichiro would get a roller/bleeder/chopper to get that run home?

The pessimist in me says, "throw in the towel."

 

 

The optimist in me says, "I've got it ready."

I claim special consideration. 14 hrs driving today. Yes, I'm playing the 'poor me' card

Oh, I thought you were referring to the last dozen years of ineptitude vs the Yankees.

[Willihammer]

Well at least you have that mighty 96.3 FM signal to ride with you all the way down to Richfield.

You are special and I do consider you.

 

Now buck up Soldier.

 

Chief... do you have some Sergeant type wording to inspire her?

 

Call her a maggot or something.
