I really wish we would stop throwing infielders into the outfield.

I really wish the outfielders we have would stop getting hurt. But I didn’t find a genie lamp, so...

Wow! This really is a magical day!

 

Just checked in, and saw the Tigers scored an actual run!! 

 

(Oops, so did the Sox...)

 

But magic number? It's a lucky one!

 

Nova is out already?

Nova is out already?

He started on on the 15th and got knocked out pretty early so they put him out there as an opener.

Scheduled bullpen day for him. He pitched three days ago.

I'm mystified how a team like the White Sox can have so many excellent players but lose so much. Was this the Twins just a few years ago?

 

 

That might be an accurate observation. 

Alright. Time to get the bats going. Get Jake some run support!

Steve Stone talked about this stuff in his opening monologue when the series began. The topic was how bad the Sox record was when they don't hit a HR, (something like 11-50), but he branched off into how many stupid mistakes they make on the basepaths and in the field.

Then, lo and behold, Moncada has that game where he gets thrown out, picked off, and loses the plot on Arraez' cue shot. This team, like a lot of bad teams, is its own worst enemy.

Where’s Renteria?

as a Twins fan since 1985 I have no idea what you are talking about

C'mon Jake, get this guy!

Odorizzi is looking really solid tonight. Seven strikeouts and keeping the Sox off balance. If Arraez makes that catch, which he should have, this is a 0-0 game.

Time to get some hits and runs!

Well that was uneventful.

<yaaaaaaaaaaaaawnnn>

Odo is pitching too well to have such an anemic offense. Let’s go Twins!

Jake just hates being efficient through five innings...

I know that it’s not really the case but doesn’t it seem like that happens a lot. One of our starters come through and the offense doesn’t.

Cleveland tied at 1 with Detroit.

I was afraid Palka would connect, despite his terrible stats for the Sox. 

How about putting together an inning, fellas?

Kyle Gibson nominee from the Twins for the Roberto Clemente award. Well deserved!

Nothin' so far.

I guess I'll be satisfied with six innings from Odorizzi. Worried about this inning.

I'm going to jinx the no hitter by mentioning it. 

Rats.

That was stupid. Should have just intentionally walked him and saved the five pitches.

Ahhhhh.... back from class just in time for a Jake-spolsion about to happen! 

 

(Cue announcers: "This all happened with two outs...")
