Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox 6/26 @ 5:10 pm PT (7:10pm CT)

Have to get runs here. 

[David HK]

Gee whiz-  just back from class in time to see Adrianza up and "in play, run(s)!"

 

Yowza.

 

Well, he is our #3 hitter, after all. Good job, Ehire!

[TwinsCD]

 

Anyone else notice the blond behind home plate?  I'd throw one to the backstop for the sake of my catcher.

 

She just got another tall one.  She and her friend could be a lot of fun by the end of the game.

[David HK]

Is Hawk on the TV?

 

I'm just imagining his silence on those couple of runs.

 

"Welp...............................................................................  Now the good guys are down by 2."

[TwinsCD]

No Hawk tonite, thankfully, since I have to watch the Sawx feed.

[David HK]

I actually like their new guy- wry and witty, and often sarcastic. He'd fit right in on these boards.

[howeda7]

Ugh.

[snepp]

 

Ugh.

 

"Watching" on gameday. Is that two "singles" that didn't leave the infield?

[snepp]

Make that 3 singles now.

[howeda7]

 

"Watching" on gameday. Is that two "singles" that didn't leave the infield?

Yes. The first was a come backer to the mound but athlete Lynn wiped out. The second was a tailor made double play but athlete Lynn deflected it. 

[Danchat]

Pressly with the bases loaded and no outs?

Challenge accepted!

[snepp]

 

Yes. The first was a come backer to the mound but athlete Lynn wiped out. The second was a tailor made double play but athlete Lynn deflected it. 

 

Sounds like I'm glad I caught the generic text version.

[howeda7]

Good god Pressly. 

[TwinsCD]

Oh look, let's bring in the worst pitcher in the bullpen in a high-leverage situation (which could be said about any of about 3 of them).

[David HK]

*sigh*

 

The RPE strikes again.

[David HK]

Guy's hitting like he belongs in the Twins' lineup, and RPE throws him 5 straight balls. He got a lucky call on his only "strike."

[David HK]

Cripe, if we get out of the RPE still with the lead here.....

 

[snepp]

Le sigh.

[David HK]

OK, I'm gonna go ahead and quote the Hawkster here:

 

"Welp.............................................................."

[Aggies7]

Glad I stayed up. What a team

[howeda7]

This team just isn't very good. The White Sox are our equal. 

[Aggies7]

This team just isn't very good. The White Sox are our equal.

 

I like your optimism

[Aggies7]

Total gift inning. No other way to put it

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Is that Molitor's new rule, all pitchers he removes must stand in a line and watch the next guy?

[FlauerPauer]

How many games will Pressly make it into this year? 90? 100?

 

There are other pitchers in the bullpen, Molitor...

[snepp]

[FlauerPauer]

 

Is that Molitor's new rule, all pitchers he removes must stand in a line and watch the next guy?

 

Molitor sucks. Dude should have never been hired. It should have been Dougie Baseball from day one.

[Mill1634]

Just getting home from my ball game, and I see the Twins give the lead up. Dang. Need to win this one. I see Sano singled and Polanco went yard tonight.

[David HK]

Gee, Paul- think maybe you should have picked the 4th guy who pitched that inning first out of the pen?

 

Gee, Paul, haven't we all seen enough of your "regular choices" in high-leverage situations go terribly awry? Really, what would we have had to lose? Give up, oh, say, 3 runs and the lead, because we brought in a young guy instead of the retreads? Oh, wait...

[operation mindcrime]

This team just isn't very good. The White Sox are our equal.

Don't forget the Royals!
