2014 Game 85: New York Yankees at Minnesota Twins

The Twins accomplished something no other team had this season: scored more than three (earned) runs against Tanaka. Now the Yankees send out someone named Chase Whitley. He faced them once already on June 1 in New York, giving up just one run in six innings. This time, the Twins are bringing the fireworks and I predict they will score eight runs, maybe in one inning.

    1. I just got home from a fourth of July parade (ugh, parades) and while I could watch this, I think apathy has smashed me in the face with a hammer so I'm watching COLBRA instead.

  2. As this game starts to get away from the home team, I'll note there was a ceremony honoring Lou Gehrig before the game. I have now seen the team honor Yankee history as many times as I have seen them honor their own Washington roots (once each if you are keeping score)

    1. I'm ok with them not doing any Washington things, but honoring any Yankee history is pretty offensive.

    1. This is very quickly going to get switched to Brazil-Colombia if things don't turn around.

  7. Parmalee's walk up is the Skrillex remix of "Cinema". It's one of two "techno"* songs I know by name. The other is of course "Sandstorm".

    *as a blanket term for dubstep, house, electronica, etc. I don't know enough to classify them properly, nor do I really care to learn.

  14. I know it's easy to say after the fact, but I'm not sure a stolen base attempt makes a lot of sense there. I know Cervelli isn't that great at throwing guys out but still, I don't know that I want to take a chance on losing a baserunner.

  15. I don't think giving up three and scoring one every inning is going to work out well for the Twins.

  17. It takes the outfielder falling down for Morales to score from first base. hahah

  19. If the Magical Zoomball could actually work today, the Twins just might still have a shot.

  21. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I get tired of hearing statements like Dazzle just made: "Gardy would really like to have one more player on the bench." Then send down a pitcher and get one!!!! Unless you're telling me that Gardy has no say about who's on the team and that he's getting overruled by the front office (in which case I'd like you to actually say that), Gardy is not an innocent bystander. The guys who are on the roster are there because people made decisions to have them there. If those people now don't like those decisions, they should change them. If they don't want to change them, they should take some responsibility for them.

  24. I will be really glad when the all-star game is over and I don't have to hear those commercials any more.

  25. One of my favorite memories of listening to the Twins as a kid was one that the Twins won late on a Larry Hisle HR in the late '80s. Time to reprise that game

  30. Also, why not Willingham for Fuld and deal with the lineup consequences after the tied game.
