Late night baseball + holiday weekend + terrible baseball team = maybe 20 comments for tonight's game?
Even if the Twins were fielding a decent team, it would be a tough task to garner a win because King Felix is on the bump for the Mariners. Pat "I'm not Dizzy" Dean goes for the locals.
Its been a long tough week for me, I hope the Twins put on a good show just to lift my spirits.
Dean wearing #64. Here is the complete list of other Twins players wearing 64
Aaron Thompson
Shairon Martis
Tyler Robertson
Chris Parmelee (before switching to 27)
not exactly a murderers row of players.
Miguel Sano is a strong human.
mercy
Man, anyone else and that would've been a high, medium deep flyout
All right Dozier!
Joe!
Smalley thinks the shift is smart baseball.
Paraphrasing: nine times out ten, these guys if they hit it on the ground, they pull it. Why put a guy where isn't going to hit it?
How is this logic allowed in the FSN booth?
Oh, it'd be nice to break this one open early.
Grossman!
Bam Bam
That'll do!
ROBBIE GROSSMAN MVP!
I think the Twins got hosed out of a run there. The ball was ruled out of play (?)
No kidding. How is that a ground rule double? Nobody touched it and it wasn't stuck.
And there's the makeup call
Well, at least Sano plated.
I dont even know whats going on anymore.
I don't know how much time Dicknbert spent talking about the Grossman double, but Cory and Dazzle talked to some Seattle people in the press box, went through the ground rules in the media guide, and could come up with no explanation other than that the umpire blew it.
they basically did the Selig shrug and moved on fairly quick because of the weird Park play 3 pitches later.
I think Gardy would have been tossed after that one. Not that Molitor should have been tossed or didn't do enough, just pointing out differences in managerial style.
Vas?
Nice inning!
Now no give back runs.
only have half an eye on the game, but man, the mariners keep eking runs past the twins. at least, that's as much as my brain can comprehend right now.
Still far short of Greek's fabled 8-run inning.
In his short career, Danny Santana has hit 13 more doubles (43) than has taken a walk (30)
Sano pops up to right. Gutierrez catches it at the wall.
He's showing some raw power in that he's hitting balls reasonably poorly and they're reaching and exceeding the fence.
Lots of Ks by Dean.
Pat Dean 8 ks
King Felix 6 ks
just as predicted.
Always appreciate some Pauer
"Mild sprained knee" for Plouffe.
Tommy John it is then.
Misdiagnosing a TJ surgery with a sprained knee does sound like the Twins and only the Twins.
Puppies!
dance party!
Glad to see that "something happened" and the Twins had a couple of extra base home run hits. We're still on track for 128-34!
I ❤ Extra Base Home Run Hits
oh, sure, Mauer homers to make it 7-2. Typical. So unclutch.
