The Orioles visit the Twins as Young takes on Ober at Target Field.

The Twins have won Bailey Ober's last 4 starts. Hopefully they can keep that streak going and take the series tonight.

I hope we win.

Too lazy to track down video clips, but the halfway through a recent Futurama episode, they offered an alternative to a mop for a drinking skeleton. (which is just something featured in decade old game threads, to wax nostalgic for a moment)

Chief will be attending tonight's festivities.

Don't even think about letting me down, Ober. Or I shall be very put out.

Prince Humperdinck approves of your phrasing.

(corollary: playing in the fireswamp could be a decided homefield advantage.)

PS did you get a hat?

People aren't wearing enough hats....

We'll be there w/ the whole fam tonight. Unfortunately we were late to buy tickets and missed the Buxton hat promotion... oh well. Looking forward to another Bailey W!

So it is based on when you buy the ticket, you don't actually have to show up early to target field?

If i had dreams, you might have crushed a very small one...

(ps. my only time at target field, i was complimented for my hat)

USAFChief · August 11

The Buxton hat requires a special ticket.

Chief did not purchase the special ticket.

Chief is cheap. Attending with a free ticket.

I speculate Chief already has a hat that serves....

Sorry to have made assumptions about millinery circumstances.

Correct. The hat promotion was only available for special tickets purchased in specific sections. They were all sold out as of a few days ago.

I hope everyone going tonight has a great time. TF really is a fantastic place to take in a ball game. Friendly people all around. Pretty decent crowd last night, too, relatively speaking.

Win Twins!

It's weird getting older. 16-25 year old me knew every player on every team and knew their stats and how well they had done for the past few years. Even what positions they played or where I thought they would be better.

Now I look at the box score before a game and realize I've never heard of Brandon Young. What is a Brandon Young?

He’s probably never heard of you, either.

I wouldn't minded seeing Martin in there again tonight. He hasn't been hitting righties well but it would be nice to see if there is some momentum from last night. They get too stuck on the lefty righty matchups. There is a time and place but it doesn't have to be so rigid.

This is why I do believe that the analytics staff does have input into the lineups, too many similarities in lineup construction between Rocco and Shelty. And actually I think Shelty was a little less rigid early in the season and then it seemed to change. I have not studied it, but it felt that way.

Maybe he will come out of the corn ala Willis Reed.

Wondering what theatrics are in store for this evening's game there.

Keep up the good work guys, we owe Birdland from the beginning of the year.

There goes the no-hitter. That didn’t take long.

h2oface · August 11

There goes the shutout. Batting practice day?

5 pitches, 2 batters. 2-0. Brutal.
