Game Thread: Twins @ CHI 5:10 PM PDT (7:10 PM CST) 7/25/2019

we haven't seen an 8 homer game lately

[MVP Nick Punto]

Humorous, considering how many routine fly balls Dick seems to think might go out.

Right? That's why I thought this one must really have no chance.

[MNT1996]

If the Yankees were having the kind of offensive season that the Twins are having so far ESPN would have a 1 hour special every night devoted to talking about it

[operation mindcrime]

We just acquired Jeremy Bleich a 32 year old lefty from the Red Sox for cash considerations. He's been assigned to Rochester!

[bighat]

Double-digits, thanks Jorge!

 

Must see TV! Cruz is up!

[Nine of twelve]

Cruz is guaranteed another plate appearance after this one.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Is it wrong to wish for 4 for 4 with 4 HR and 7 RBI here?

[Mill1634]

Great showing by the offense. Doing exactly what they need to do, and Berrios has been good. 

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Polanco!!!!!

[kydoty]

10-2 lead in the 6th tonight: Nice and relaxed and can probably go to bed in a half hour.

 

10-2 lead in the 6th against the Yankees: Can’t sit still, this game is far from over! Need another beer!

Blechhh!?

[diehardtwinsfan]

Time to DFA Cruz.

Ah. Just the kind of blockbuster move I expected from the front office.

OK... no more Pohlads are cheap sakes comments.

[VATwinsFan]

Time to DFA Cruz.

...and then trade for cash considerations.

I was thinking the same thing.

It’s a pretty standard move this time of year as teams pillage their minor league system and need warm bodies to pitch for their affiliates.

 

Not terribly different than the Yankees buying Navarro from the Twins yesterday, though they did it in part because they need MLB catching depth.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Don't think you're going to see Berrios in the 7th Brock.

[notoriousgod71]

Sano is somehow much better at 3b than 1b.

[PDX Twin]

Decent firstbaseman would have had that.

 

On the other hand, Sano is solid defensively at DH.

I understand why teams make moves like this, but I am also poking fun of the Twins for historically not making trades that benefit their team down the playoff stretch. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the only trade the front office makes before the deadline.

[DiscGolfer]

where is this sloppy D coming from all of a sudden.  D looked much better vs Yankees

[Aggies7]

Sloppppyyy

I’ll be floored if this is the only move they make before the deadline.

[HawksNest]

Tighten it up, boys.

[diehardtwinsfan]

BTW... KC and CLE tied bottom 6

[Squirrel]

Aaargh ... having 10 runs across the plate does not mean you get to lose focus and throw the ball away! Stop that!

[notoriousgod71]

Great idea, eddie.

Everyone in the dugout started drinking in the third.

[twinsnorth49]

That's some bad baseball Eddie, big lead or not you need to be more disciplined.
