TWINS BASEBALL!!
Twins....baseball!
Zimmy has a no hitter
Zimmermann has a career 7.1 K/9 and just 5.4 this year. Naturally he has six strikeouts in three innings.
No President Mauer?
he is in a paygrade above President.
Twins baseball, part 2.
That is the easiest OF assist Hicks has made all year
Revere could have made a 5-bounce assist on it
Not to brag, but I totally could have done that. 🙂
Dozier deked the runner hardcore. that was awesome
Somebody at work was telling me that play is now illegal in college and most high school leagues.
if true, that is stupid.
That's basically what I said. Apparently it's "unsportsmanlike" or something.
But leveling the catcher is okay, of course.
Not in high school.
Also, this information came from the same person who told me that the Baltimore Marathon is one of the flattest in the country...so this may not be reliable.
Oh man, Teddy got leveled by a giant fly in the president's race.
That was almost precisely what the CarGo/spookymascot finish looked like. I had immediate flashbacks.
These slow weekend games get me tearing up gixen.com, but there's a lot of cool Twins cards coming up this evening. #HideTheWallet
YDROCT ?!?!
ha! great minds
YDNROCT?!
BOOM! Nailed him at the plate!
Speaking of running over the catcher...that was sort of like running over the catcher.
Well crap.
nice play, stupid results
Dozier shows Rendon how it's done.
Every time a Twins pitcher strikes out a batter, the Twins donate $1,000 to cancer research. I appreciate the gesture, but could they have picked something that will accumulate a tangible amount?
Like $1K every time Hicks strikes out?
It wouldn't be DC without inviting a convicted fraudster to the booth.
Who's up there?
Michael Milken, pushing his prostate cancer foundation.
Chris Parmelee may not be the fastest player, but man he plays pretty good defense.
IBB to load the bases? That never works. *crosses fingers and toes*
being nibbled to a loss here. jeepers
Just score all the runs on infield singles and errors.
Whoops, Desmond/Diamond screwed that up.
Hopefully the night game goes better. I'm done with this one.
the Twins are due for an 8 run inning
Uh oh. Pressly with an elbow injury?
yeah, looked like he was trying to stretch out his elbow
oh oh, Pressly hurt
does...not...look...good
inevitable Tommy John
Highlights of Lombardozzi Sr. as a Twin, highlighting their similar looks and abilities. I doubt very much I've seen Lombardozzi Sr. highlights since he was a player.
On this day in history, Bobby Valentine did that awesome fake mustache thing after he was thrown out of the game.
who me?
What I've always wondered is: why did he have the mustache handy?
Dustin Morse @Twins_morsecode
#MNTwins prospect Miguel Sano (@SanoMiguel) had 2 HR for the @MiracleBaseball today & has 16 on the season (hitting .330).
can he play the nightcap in Washington?
holy cr@p, Doumit now?!
Pressly 'soreness in the tricep'
pitcher batting, no Mauer, no Willingham...well its no wonder the Twins have 0 runs
plus Zimmerrrmann is a pretty darned good pitcher
I'm sure I have some reading to do...
This is the 2nd times the Twins have been shutout in 8 games
I think it's possible I haven't caught any Twins runs in that span. They only score when I'm away from the screen or can't see the game at all.
in those 8 games, they have scored only 26 runs (0,5,10,3,1,3,4,0)
In the seven games prior to today, the Twins are batting .257/.342/.402 which is better than their season numbers for all three slash stats. League average is .256/.321/.411.
They only stranded two runners in scoring position! Progress.
I so hate it when the MSM focuses on a handful of games with a bunch of runners stranded. These things are cyclical and it happens to everyone. Focusing on the negative of stranding runners instead of the positive of having a bunch of base runners does no one any good. I fear that players start focusing on it and then start having bad at-bats to exacerbate the problem, which wasn't really a problem but just some bad timing of hits.
I missed the game today. Sounds like the Twins did, too. Oh, well, no worries. We'll just have to settle for 130-32!
I hope Game 2 isn't blacked out for me.
so far, this game has been uneventful
Busy day...

looks like the Twins will make another 40 man roster move in the near future

And he's under investigation again it seems.
Good hustle by Diamond.
