2017 Game 82: Anaheim Angels v. Minnesota Twins

52 Comments

Sorry, don't have a lot of time so a couple quick points as we plunge into the 2nd half:
-Sano had the lead in All-Star voting but lost it at the last moment. Santana and he will represent the Twins this year.
-Meyer (whom I'm sure you know is having a decent year) is facing off against Mejia for the second time this year. Neither figured in the decision their first time.
-That's it. I just said "a couple".

  1. I'm sitting above the Angels dugout, and Laz Diaz is really giving it to AMR's buddy already.

    1. Diaz stops Alfredo Griffin on his way back to the dugout to have him remind Scioscia to STFU after the top of the second.

  6. On the balk, I wonder if the Twins had some insight on their former player and talked to the ump about watching for him moving the front knee first.

  8. Diaz with a long, animated conversation with Simmons and Yunel Escobar between innings in which I think he was telling them that Espinosa is on thin ice the rest of the day.

  11. Jersey/shirsey count:

    Sano 3
    Buxton 2
    Trout 2
    Span 3 (including pixie vest)
    Morneau 4
    Carew 5
    Jimmy Rollins
    Howie Kendrick
    Leighton Baines (!)
    Steve Liddle
    Mauer 11
    Dozier 3
    Puckett 2
    Pujols
    Hunter
    Kepler
    Arcia
    Perkins
    Radke
    Josh Hamilton
    Trumbo

  13. Mejia not just through 6 solid, but with few enough pitches to where he could conceivably come out for the seventh

    1. Huge ifs, of course, but if Mauer could get his average above .300, and could do that for two or three seasons, he just might get into the Hall of Fame after all.

      1. I'd like that, but not sure he would be a Twin after his contract runs out. There are limits to how much less he can earn per year than his current contract, and no way he's offered near $23M. He'll have to go through free agency. I'd like to think he'll remain though

    1. Watching with the sound off, but clown-car music running through my internal-audio.

    2. Is that who that was? They put them on the Kiss Cam, and it went over my head.

    3. Its probably a good idea to keep people who have had too many vodkas off of tv.

  27. These extra runs are nice considering the performance of the bullpen of late.

  28. Scioscia pulling Espinosa here. So, he didn't take a single pitch after Diaz chatted with his other infielders.
