And Twins! (The Twins talk and pick-up thread).

[Maroon and Gold]

Has anyone seen Tyler Robertson play or know much about him? Seems like he was really good a few years ago and then his velocity dropped off and his stats are a bit weaker this year in Rochester, but all of the in-depth scouting is not too updated on him.

 

[byronscott4ever]

My goodness the stadium looks empty.

Considering the Twins were down to their last out and hadn't shown much, I'm not surprised many people were gone but that's why they should stay to the end.

 

[TGutta]

Today is going to be a very important start for Liriano, hopefully he will bounce back and show some consistency with his delivery but I won't get my hopes up.

 

[TGutta]

Liriano with a strong start. Hopefully this is the first step in the right direction for him and he can be back to his dominate self before the trade deadline so we can get something for him.

Final line: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 K

+1
So many people left after the 8th inning, section 331 was completely empty and 239 only had 8 people in it.

That's true. I will never leave a game early just because the team is losing.

You may, not saying you would Taylor, but you may feel different if you lived in the Cities and attended 10-20 games a year. Just saying, you living 3-4 hours away might be the difference maker. I know if I drove that far, I would stay. But being that I drive 30 mins and hit up 10-20 a year, I see it a different way.

From my perspective, if the game is a good game, potential win or loss, I will stay till the end. However, if it is a ****** game, I will bolt out of there, not being fair weather fan, just dont feel like watching a ****** game. 99% of the time, wont come back to bite one in the ass, last night was the 1% it would.

The ramps here help a lot though, Metrodome getting out of town to 394 was terrible and walking to parking, now with Target Field ramp A is right next to the exit and hops right onto 394, no traffic to get down if you park on the upper level.

That is a true statement. If I lived there I would probably have a different opinion on leaving games early.

Excellent recovery outing for Liriano today, only 3 hits and 9 Ks, and no hits from the bullpen to finish it out. Sat in the Legends Club for the first time since the Yankees playoff game two years ago, in the first row so that was pretty nice. One foul ball went 3 rows behind in our section, one went 2 rows behind our season ticket section behind home, and one went two seats over in the season ticket row, a guy ducked out and it hit his wife right on the back.

I haven't left a game early, but then again when I live 10-12 hours away I'm going to be there as long as I possible can

You should go for the Royals day-night doubleheader then, two games in a day.

Do you ever hit up any games in KC when the Twins are in town? Assuming that is close to you than the TCs are.

KC is actually only 1-2 hours closer to me than the cities. We were going to make plans to head down to a Rockies game this summer to watch Cuddyer play since 4 hours is better than 9-12 hours. Last year my sister and I went to visit my dad who lives in Sioux Falls SD he took us up to a couple Twins games. We were going to try that again as well but work schedules just aren't goint to allow it, especially since we have family from Iowa coming here

Ive been tossing around the idea of heading down to KC in July for the Twins series.
Like the work they have done to the stadium for this years ASG, great park for a ball game.
I would love to get out to Colorado for a game to see Cuddy play too.

You still sound like a fair weather fan. :grin: I left a Twins game early once...so I could be amongst the first in line at Sneaky Pete's for the Baseball Unplugged event. Why would you leave early when there's still a chance of something happening like Tuesday night's walkoff? If nothing else, go visit with Sue Nelson or see if you can sneak down to the seats by home plate.

I'll duck out early to avoid traffic, too. I hate sitting in downtown if I don't have to.

Let everyone else clear out first. Sitting in downtown doesn't have to be bad. Rock Bottom Brewery? Bradstreet Crafthouse? Brit's Pub?

You should go for the Royals day-night doubleheader then, two games in a day.

We should all go!

I have tickets for the original night game that day. Probably going to sell them though because it's not gonna work out on going.

I'm supposed to be going down to Kansas City for the July 20-22nd series.
