Minnesota Twins (5-1) vs. Detroit Tigers (4-2) Gamethread

1:10 pm EDT start

Santiago v. Boyd

Minnesota Lineup

Detroit Lineup

Honestly forgot Machado was even on the roster.

Isn't he supposed to be actually pretty decent? Maybe our future 2B, although it seems as if Kinsler could play another 3-4 years or so since he never seems to slow down.

Not really, he's pretty shit. But then so is Iggy so it hardly matters.

I wish we would start drafting better. Quit drafting pitchers that throw hard but don't know how to pitch.

>tfw Verlander won't play forever

CAPTCHA was "never machado" kek

Our young pitchers aren't the problem really. We have no decent young position prosepcts.

Do the Twins have fans?

JUSTin strikes again

Go Twins!

GO TWINS FAGGOT

Do the Tigers have fans?

Dubs and Matt Boyd no hitter

Yes we made the thread.

Need a bartman in Detroit desu desu

Any guesses on when the Tiger's window will close? I have no idea how you guys didn't win in 2012. My guess is because you assraped the Yankees in 4 games and had to wait around for a week while the Giants came back from 1-3 against the Cards (which sucked ass) and they just had too much momentum.

I wanted to see a 2006 rematch.

>Any guesses on when the Tiger's window will close?
Depends how long ownership is willing to keep spending money.

Btw I think that is what happened in 06 too
Window closes whenever they give up on the bp and start selling. After next year? Unsure

Fucking finally.

with pizzaman dead, we are uncertain what is going to happen desu

'12 was a more 50/50 but 2006 should have been a win for us. Fuck it hurts

>PFP
Still makes me angry everytime I hear of it.

Nice day for baseball

Makes me feel like getting repeating digits to prevent a twins hit all game

Hour gone and already the 5th inning. I like it

Holy fuuuuuuuuuuck Boyd CYA?

Nicely done
>i like that nothing has happened at all

ROY.

Verlander will win CY. In fact he'll win the next two in order to make up for the fact he got turbo Jewed in 2016.

Give us some dubs for GIDP here lad

That was filth

>playing shitook instead of romine

is the gentrification of detroit the real deal?

you guys have an amazing looking park and ive always wanted to see the sox on the road there but im already uneasy around niggers in a city im familiar with, i didn't wana deal with detroit

South Detroit yeah

There're more police than black people around the area of the stadiums and casinos. It's fine.

Machado looking as good as Iglesias at fielding. Iggy could be a trade sweetener?

>south detroit

Maybe if there was anyone dumb enough to want a garbage SS who can't hit.

>boyd done for the day
Literally WHY?!?!

You won't feel unsafe around the ballpark. It seems like a normal city, with bars, restaurants and things to do. It is the outskirts of the city that are shit.

As to answer your question, yes and no. Yes as in there is money being poured into the city and it benefits the people moving in there (yuppies) and the suburbanites that visit. However, the school system is still complete shit and crime still seems to be bad (dunno if it is decreasing or not)

Anyway, I go downtown all the time and never feel uneasy.

sounds like south chicago except at guaranteed rape it's only a 2-3 block radius. i guess id just get a hotel next to the field with secured parking and just go back and forth

Anyone hear about that bomb that hit that soccer team's bus on the way to their game today? What the fuck is up with Europe?

Nah it's a much bigger safe zone than 2-3 blocks. It includes all the casinos, Greektown, Foxtown, the area around the new hockey arena, etc. And then it extends straight to the river but there isn't shit to do there so you probably won't bother going there anyway.

Corktown is fine too, that's the neighborhood of the old Tiger's stadium. Don't go west or south of there though.

Inb4 it's a bullpen ruins everything episode

Name me a shittier bullpen in MLB

Protip: you can't

and then people blame brad like always, even though 9/10 it isn't his fault

Official Relief Pitchers that need to be released Power Ranking

1. All of them

Except Jimenez untl the Tigers BP curse gets to him too

Release him preemptively.

>the city of polanco

>tfw jones already sucks now

Why does everyone suck Buxton's dick? He is a bust

BUXTON YOU FUCKING SUCK

>yfw Justin Wilson is actually good

...

Our starting pitching is straight jizz. Anyone else getting the feeling we could be in for a great year?

Just like all the other years we won the eries with elite starting pitching and a shit bullpen.

Is the tigers bullpen just psyching themselves out at this point?

Rodriguez has been shit this season

I think they just have no talent.

And here we go...

CLENCH THOSE BUTTHOLES BOYS

Even though I'm a Tigers fan I do kinda miss Mauer being elite

so this... is the power... of the twins...

He was a dome fan babby

Another one

pls

This bullpen is historically bad.

How can you do literally nothing to address this dumpster fire after what happened last season? How?

Disaster averted

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

W-We can still win every home game, right guys?

Annoying how we have a competitive lineup and rotation but this kind of bp, it shrinks my best hopes for them

We need to trade some guys for a BP arm or 2 at least.

Maybe JD if he comes back and does well? I feel like he would have value.

Unfortunately true, especially if some of these other guys keep playing really well. Maybe Jimenez will play soon

Only issue I see is it is hard to get a quality BP arm, since there is always a shortage of them. You have to pay a premium to even get one.

That is why our scouting, drafting and development needs to improve, so we have some homegrown talent for once in there.
