Minnesota Twins 2014-2020: Here's Your Damn Thread

Post by **fightclub30** » Mon Jul 22 10:08 pm

Schoop hasn't done much in awhile. He is kind of a dead spot in the lineup lately.

Holy crap I haven't seen catcher's interference in a long time.
Does Cruz get an RBI for that?
I believe it technically goes down as an E2 but the batter does not get counted as an "out" like a normal error against the stats. It does not hurt his OBP or batting average, so I guess they'd score it as an RBI like they would with a bases loaded walk/HBP.

I believe that is correct.

Well Rogers made it a little more interesting than I wanted, but a win is a win. Except this was against the Yankees so a win is extra nice! too bad Cleveland won too.

I don’t mind seeing us ding up Sabathia.
I kinda like Captain Cheeseburger, but I like Twins winning more.

More like Captain Hamburger Helper with how much the Twins pounded him.

Beat CC for the 1st time tonight at Target Field

Twins hadn’t beaten him anywhere since 2013 (evidently)

You should really call him Cap'n Crunch because he lost 25 pounds in an off-season by not eating a box of Cap'n Crunch a day.

He's a huge addition to the team and I suspect will be the featured catcher over Castro. (I don't know what his defensive skills are, but the kid can hit.)

Hopefully this is the one you wanted!

Yes!

It wasn’t intended that way, but ad placement (or should I say “butt” ad placement

) on the screen at that time during the game yielded a pretty hilarious result imho.

Post by **Greyeagle** » Tue Jul 23 9:50 pm

9:50 and heading to bottom 6. Geesh this is a long game.
Good! But, long.

The Yankees don’t just roll up in the fetal position when you hang a few crooked numbers on them.

Really big two innings from him tonight after a huge outing by Thorpe last night.

Stashak's little slider has some wicked bite to it. Fooled Judge and Sanchez multiple times.

Parker struggling. Top of the order now with no outs and a run in already.

Crap call aside, the bullpen once again piddles their pants against the Yankees.

Ownership has instructed Falvey and Levine to go after any arm they want as long as the pitcher is making league minimum.

I don't think the fielders even moved on that Sano HR. That's how hard he hit it.

Post by **Bertogliat** » Tue Jul 23 11:13 pm

Now they Yankees go ahead after a 2 strike walk to the 9 spot.

Next better served up a nice fastball down the c**k

Post by **Bertogliat** » Tue Jul 23 11:17 pm

That walk was horseshit pitching. Ball 3 and ball 4 were nowhere near the plate. 2 outs and Rogers gifted that walk and will likely take the loss.

Post by **Thirty-Four** » Tue Jul 23 11:18 pm

Man, regardless of how this turns out, outdoor baseball in this park, on nights like this. Blessed.

Don't forget that grooved motionless fastball to the next hitter. Pretty darn bad. Of with how he looked against the first two batters.

He’s gotten so bad the last couple of years. Has no idea of what’s a hit or not when the ball comes off the bat even though everyone else in the park does.

Not sure, but it was a strike at least. Also wasn't the pitch he flied out on.

Oh well. At least Toronto beat the Indians.

Now I'm not sure. I might be getting Polanco and Cruz mixed up.

Like I said earlier, at least Cleveland lost. Just gotta get John Ryan Murphy out there to beat the Yankees.

Oh wait.

Oh wow, I just saw how the game ended. I went to bed when it went to the 10th.

Post by **streakygopher** » Wed Jul 24 8:57 am

That was the worst loss of the year for me...bullpen should be able to hold onto a 9-5 lead - especially when the team added 3 more runs to that total.

If this were a small ball offense they wouldn't be over .500.... woof.
